For every project, Engineering is responsible for planning the design. Engineering establishes a design plan by identifying design activities and assigning responsibilities for the design tasks. This planning includes:

• Scheduling performance of the required design and development tasks in coordination with Project Management.



• Assigning responsibility for implementation of required tasks to qualified personnel equipped with adequate resources.



• Defining verification and validation methods appropriate to each design and development stage.



• Defining control, organization and technical interfaces between appropriate departments and with the customer.



• Establishing a design schedule that includes design review activity and updates as the design progresses.
