An Overview of the Engineering and Design Process
.A Look at Quality Too!!!
Lets Talk Design for a Minute....
Technical and management processes which commence with: Identification of design input
Criteria, parameters. bases or other design requirements on which the final design is based
Leads to and includes issuance of design output documents
Design activities shall be documented in sufficient detail to permit verification...
Design Process Flow..

Design Changes
Design Control....
To assure the definition, control and verification of design input and design activities Key features Design inputs are appropriately specified on a timely basis Design interfaces are identified and controlled Design verification is performed independently; i.e. by person(s) other than the originator of the design Design changes are controlled by the same measures applicable to the original design
Design Control .....
Measures established to assure requirements and design basis correctly translated into: Specifications Drawings Procedures Instructions Measures include: Quality standards included in design documents Control of deviations Measures provide for: Verifying of checking adequacy of design by individuals other than preparer
Reasons for a Design Control Program....
Its the law, permit, or regulation Strong industry correlation between effective control and successful design and operations Costs are reduced and products work better Fewer mistakes made Complexity of the work

Drawings and Diagrams.
Documents prepared for use in the production, construction or fabrication of facilities such as: a P&ID, one-line diagram or piping isometric drawing
Incorporate correct design inputs and proper design approach used All design inputs reviewed and approved
If not approved then marked for confirmation required or hold
Drawing/diagram must be:
Technically adequate In accordance with applicable standards, guidelines and procedures
Client requirements incorporated Conforms to applicable licensing commitments or requirements, codes etc. Compatible with engineering effort by other engineers
Flow Diagram - FSK
.Schematically presents a system designed to move liquids or gases; shows the controls instrumentation of the system.
Piping Drawing
.Locates all piping and piping components in a gas or liquid system.
Logic Diagram - LSK
.Schematically presents the control requirements of systems and equipment.
Elementary Diagram - ESK
.Schematically shows the electrical connections and function of a specific control circuit arrangement.
Loop Diagram
.Schematically shows the instrumentation required to measure or control variables in a fluid system.
One Line Diagram
.Schematically show the type and arrangement of busses, transformers, circuit breakers and other equipment required for an electrical system.
Wiring Diagram
.Connects cable from one piece of equipment to another.
Characteristics of a Quality Design Document.....
Design Adequacy Organization
Standardization
Appearance Traceability
Good Procedures Ensure Good Engineering Practices.....
Because they: Assign responsibility Meet customer and regulatory requirements Assure that disciplines interface requirements are met Document our most successful methods of doing work
Our Engineering Procedures Provide.....
Instructions on design document preparation and processing A means to control all changes or revisions A design document control system Identification Indexing Filing and distribution A method for design document review by a second competent and qualified individual
A Few Key Procedure Control Features....
Define work scope
Identifies responsibilities and objectives to be met Establish design input
Identify and control external design interfaces for
Overall design verification status for existing facility As-built drawings of existing facility to be modified Responsibilities defined for work involved, such as determining consequences of failure, hazards analysis, criticality, mass balance
Identify and control design inputs
Functional design criteria Supplemental design requirements Applicable codes and standards Documentation and approval to assure proper documents are used
Controlling the Design Process..

Design Inputs/ Rqmts
Design Process
Design Descriptive Documents Drawings Specifications
Design Verification

Internal and External Interfaces
Document Control
Design Changes
Design Output .....
Procedural requirements for:
Identifying documents to permit ready reference and retrieval Defining objective of analyses Definition of design inputs and their sources Documenting results of literature searches or other applicable background data Documenting assumptions and identifying those assumptions to be verified Identification of computer calculations, including type code, inputs and assumptions Review and approval
Specifications....
Establish qualitative requirements for products, materials, and workmanship supplied under contract Define functional requirements that equipment must satisfy Define acceptance criteria in specific, measurable values General types: General construction specifications Procurement specifications Equipment specifications
Normal Review Process....
Checking is:
Part of the engineering process
Independent and objective
Checker looks for errors in a structured manner
Design Reviews....
Brings questions and points of view into open Confirm proper set of requirements has been defined and available for use Evaluation of design concepts against design specification Confirms whether design meets requirements Do data and results support conclusions? Are the assumptions reasonable? Any significant items not addressed? Are the design methods appropriate? Any problems remaining to be resolved?
Design Verification....
Documented review Confirms adequacy of the design Substantiates that inputs were correctly selected Design meets the specified inputs
Design Change Control .....
Procedures identify requirements needed to make design changes to approved design documents including Field changes
Ensure impact considered Actions documented Information transmitted to affected persons and organizations
Changes shall be justified and subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to original design
Good Engineering Practices.
10 Fundamentals
Understand you customers expectations! If you assume! You better check it out! When in doubt - Ask! Remember: Its your work! Be Proud of It! Make sure you understand whats expected of you! Communicate! Communicate! Communicate! Protect your Companys and your customers reputation! They are yours too! Provide the highest quality service! Youre part of the team.an integral part! Learning never sleeps!
And Remember .....
Good technical analysis + Good documentation = Quality engineering
