Assignment of Personnel

It is important to plan ahead for the proper assignment

of qualified engineers to various projects as they arise.
Jobs cannot be assigned on an unconsidered basis; that is,
each lead or principal process engineer and others in his
group on a project must be selected for their (1) basic
ability to understand the process under consideration, (2)
background know-how, (3) design ability for the equipment
involved, and (4) compatibility with the project
engineer and other key decision making representatives
with whom they will be in daily contact.
There are two approaches to developing qualified personnel:
1. The generalist approach-each process engineer
becomes competent over-all with preferential areas
of specialization. With this approach, all personnel
are urged to study and keep up to date in order to
handle any type of project.
