In the context of engineering, specifications are crucial for optimizing various aspects of a project. These specifications include the physical footprint of the space, the layout of walking paths, and the proximity of key elements within the workspace.

What are Engineering Specifications?

Main topic

Maintenance

Subtopic
downtime cause and time [time of incident, duration of incident, machine failure issue, etc., date, hrs, cause codes, etc.]
manual forms vs. automated forms and ensuing potential analysis [#forms/day/wk/month/quarter/year]

Optimizing space

5S
transportation of parts?

orientation of parts

time associated with each?

personnel requirements?

weight of parts [kg]

ease of reach [inches]

storage capacity

footprint

# of different types of parts
frequency of orders? [daily, weekly, monthly, etc.] and size of orders [$, kg, sqft, etc.]
