    SCREENING IDEAS  Any system for the management of a technical group must provide in some way of project initiation, selection, evaluation, and periodic view.  Of all the projects considered, those that have the highest effective payoff to the organization with budget, manpower, and other limitations should receive the necessary effort. QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT  Support company objective? -Be within the field of interest and growth objectives? -Be with compatible company images and policies? -Be compatible with present marketing capabilities and channels?  Satisfy a need? -Fulfill a real market and need (i.e., will the costumer buy?) -Require developments of a new market? -Provide savings from improved processes, methods, or raw materials? -Provide increased safety, reliability, maintainability, or usability? -Provide improved external relations?  Be Implementable? -Fit within present manufacturing capabilities? -Be affordable in terms of capital investment? -Be compatible with available staff and facilities? -Be achievable within a useful time frame?  Be Profitable? -Provide an adequate return on investment? -Present an acceptable risk? TYPES OF PLANNING  Meaningful overall plan must contain all three dimensions -what are we going to do? -when will we do it? & how long will it take? -and how much will it cost?  Plans can be categorized relative to the planning of horizon or calendar time -long-range plan (5, 10, or 20 years) -annual plan (next year) -current operational plans  Ways of developing plan -conference planning -directive planning -Bottom-up or top-down planning CONFERENCE PLANNING  Based on committee approach, whereby a group of cognizant individuals collectively considers the problems of the future and collectively decides on a future course.  Opinions, feelings, and joint participation are highly stressed.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR PLANNING  Planning is everybody’s business and not just the responsibility of some central group.  Planning is the basic tool for gathering, integrating, interpreting, and disseminating available information with respect to objectives, manpower, materials, facilities, cost, and schedules.  We are engineers here, we must think! We must PLAN! ACHIEVING BALANCED PROGRAM  Determining how much effort to put into the solution of present problem areas and how much effort to put on problems of the future is one of the enormous confronting the technical manager  There is no point at all in solving tomorrow’s problems if the parent organization should fail before tomorrow comes.

    ACHIEVING BALANCED PROGRAM
    Determining how much effort to put into the solution of present problem areas and how much
    effort to put on problems of the future is one of the enormous confronting the technical manager
    There is no point at all in solving tomorrows problems if the parent organization should fail before
