Publisher's Synopsis
The focus of this practical, "hands-on" book is on the preparation of the specification in the engineering industry - representing, along with the drawings, the final product of any engineering organization, and crucial to its success. Each chapter is supplemented by a checklist which can be used first to plan an effort, and later used to ensure that the effort is truly complete. Each chapter also contains practical guidance on all aspects of writing the engineering specification, and specification techniques common to all industries are presented.
