Controlling in engineering management refers to the process of monitoring, evaluating, and

regulating various aspects of a project, team, or operation to ensure that they align with the
established goals and standards. It involves making necessary adjustments and taking corrective
actions when deviations occur. Here are key aspects of controlling in engineering management:

1. **Project Performance Monitoring**: Track and analyze project performance metrics, such as
progress, budget, and timeline adherence. This allows you to identify areas where the project is
deviating from the plan.

2. **Quality Assurance**: Implement quality control measures to ensure that products or services
meet the required standards and specifications. Regular inspections and quality checks are essential
to maintaining product quality.

3. **Resource Management**: Monitor resource allocation, including personnel, materials, and


equipment, to ensure efficient utilization and cost control. Adjust resource allocation as needed to
optimize efficiency.

4. **Risk Management**: Continuously assess and manage risks associated with the project.
Controlling involves identifying new risks, evaluating their impact, and implementing risk mitigation
strategies.

5. **Change Management**: Keep track of changes to project scope, requirements, or objectives.


Controlling involves evaluating the impact of these changes and making necessary adjustments to
the project plan.

6. **Progress Reporting**: Regularly communicate project progress to stakeholders through reports


and updates. Transparency and open communication help in controlling by identifying issues early.

7. **Issue Identification and Resolution**: Identify issues, bottlenecks, and roadblocks that hinder
project progress. Once identified, take steps to address and resolve these issues promptly.

8. **Cost Control**: Ensure that the project remains within budget. Regularly review expenditures
and adjust spending as necessary to prevent cost overruns.

9. **Schedule Adherence**: Monitor project timelines and milestones. If there are delays or
deviations from the schedule, take corrective actions to get the project back on track.
10. **Scope Control**: Ensure that the project remains aligned with its defined scope. Prevent
"scope creep" by controlling changes to project requirements.

11. **Performance Metrics**: Use key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure and evaluate the
performance of team members and the project as a whole. This helps in identifying areas that may
require improvement.

12. **Document Management**: Keep project documentation up to date and organized. Well-
maintained records and documentation facilitate effective control and decision-making.

13. **Stakeholder Management**: Keep stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the
project. Address their concerns and expectations to maintain their support and trust.

14. **Lessons Learned**: Regularly conduct post-project reviews to identify what went well and
what could be improved. Use these insights to enhance future projects.

15. **Compliance and Regulations**: Ensure that the project adheres to legal and regulatory
requirements. Stay updated on relevant regulations and maintain compliance throughout the
project.

16. **Continuous Improvement**: Encourage a culture of continuous improvement within the


engineering team. Evaluate processes, tools, and workflows to identify areas for enhancement.

Effective controlling in engineering management requires a proactive and systematic approach to


project oversight. It is an integral part of the project management process, working in tandem with
planning, execution, and closing phases. By keeping a close eye on project performance and
promptly addressing any issues that arise, engineering managers can ensure that projects are
completed on time, within budget, and with the desired quality.
