Enhancing Operational Efficiency Through Workflow Standardization: A Comprehensive Process Map for Managing Engineering Drawing Releases

Abstract

This research addresses inefficiencies in managing engineering drawing releases within the Engineering team, stemming from the lack of a standardized process map and adequate training. These challenges result in frequent turnbacks, inconsistent workflows, and delays, negatively impacting productivity and project timelines. To resolve these issues, the study develops a comprehensive process map that standardizes workflows by defining key stages, responsibilities, and dependencies, enhancing clarity and reducing errors. Additionally, tailored training programs equip team members with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the updated processes, fostering engagement and operational alignment. The study employs performance metrics such as turnback rates, resolution times, and delivery timelines to monitor improvements. Initial results indicate significant reductions in turnbacks and enhanced delivery efficiency, validating the effectiveness of the interventions. Beyond addressing immediate challenges, this research establishes a scalable framework for long-term success, transforming engineering operations into a more efficient and collaborative environment.
