Intranet Resource for the Mechanical Engineering Department at Green Industries

Abstract

The mechanical engineering department at Green Industries has grown substantially over the past several years to keep up with the company’s overall growth. With this growth has come a reduction in the ratio of experienced team members to new team members and a shortage of appropriate mentors to serve these new engineers. In order to provide all team members with the information they need to successfully design and develop new products, the department must find a more efficient way to transfer information to individuals when experienced mentors are not available. The purpose of this field project is to determine an accurate and timesaving method to transfer needed information to team members and save man months of development effort while working within the limitations of the current intranet system at Green. Team members and team leaders will work together in a collaborative effort to determine the content needed to achieve these goals. This project should also provide a process for all engineering departments within Green to use when looking to manage the information their associates need on a daily basis. A solution to this problem is to create the framework for a home page for the consumer mechanical engineering department at Green that can manage this information. This web resource will be the home page for team members and allow them to find all of the information they need on a daily basis in one location. It will also help organize and store some of the documents used within the department.
