Detailed Engineering Customization: A Cost and Time Effective Approach in the Manufacturing of Steel Structures

Accurate, reliable and cost effective design of steel structures in heavy & medium engineering industrial sector plays a key role in the growth of industrial development. Objective is to get awareness about the difficulties faced by engineers / managers for reducing time to minimum level for preparation of drawings and other detailing work. New concept of detailed engineering techniques is introduced, which guides, how to customize design detailing stage and how to overcome (i-e optimize) delays to meet final production targets of the product in an Heavy Duty Engineering company specialize in the manufacturing of huge and massive steel structure frames. Design engineers must understand basic tools, methods, latest techniques which will be used for minimizing cost and time effect in the production of steel structures. Extensive knowledge of AutoCAD, AutoLISP for design and customization technique is required for the production drawing as output for shop floor. For sustainable engineering development, it becomes utmost important to utilize detailed engineering customization technique. This approach mainly governs on theoretical design approach, practical / on-the-job experience and computer aided design techniques. Use of all above approaches can lead to the successful achievement of efficient engineering optimization techniques / procedures. Because of complex and complicated nature of work of steel structures in Heavy Industries, it is essential to customize such work. Therefore it is suggested to use such methods for the mass production of steel structures on time and hence lot of time could be saved in heavy duty steel industries.
