There are many variations of the 5 P's acronym. There are the 5P's of Marketing, of Leadership, of Effective Business Communication, of Strategy, of Team Design, of Classroom Rules, of On Line Learning and many more.  But I find “The 5 P's of Engineering” to be the most useful
I don't know the origin, but it's is a nice little expression which gets the point across. It always helps me to focus |

 Construction sites have a lot of history. They are generally a landscape inhabited by hard men in hard hats and any females on the site are twice as hard as the men. Workers are set in their ways, they will resist change of any kind and there is a macho culture as far as safety is concerned. Safety is for wimps.
Traditionally the unions are very strong and are generally instrumental in advocating for increased safety –
As in most industrial environments, everybody is an instant expert after an incident with a detailed explanation of what should have been done to avoid it. |

 It was one of those challenging projects were nothing was ever going to be easy.
In simple terms it was a modification to a section of continuous production line for a food product. The whole line from start to finish is about 300 metres. I was modifying a section with fixed conveyors plus process plant which was about 30 metres in length. Without going into detail, I had a Sunday, 24 hour window to pull out a section of conveyor and modify a second section. |

 Drywall sheet is a simple product. A layer of gypsum between top and bottom sheets of fibre board. The difficult part is in the manufacturing process.
The fibre board is supplied in large rolls . A shaft is fitted through the core. A standard procedure for most fibre board products. The shafts generally have “strip fingers” which are pushed out by compressed air to grip the inside of the core. When the roll has run out, the fingers are deflated and the core removed from the shaft, ready to be fitted into the next roll.
Most of the time, this process works well. |

 The Long and Winding Road – (with apologies to Lennon McCartney)
This article is specifically related to my experiences with Mechanical Engineering, but could equally apply to other disciplines.
When I began to write, I had a very clear goal, I wanted to highlight the current difficulties being faced by both Contractors and Employers who work in Engineering which are caused by the large number of different CAD systems which are being used. |
