An engineering organizational system is composed of major groups such as management, research
and development, preliminary design, experiments, product design and drafting, fabrication and
assembling, and testing.These groups are interconnected to make up the whole operation.
Such a system may be analyzed by reducing it to the most elementary set of components necessary that can provide the analytical detail required and by representing the dynamic characteristics of each component by a set of simple equations. (The dynamic performance of such a system may be determined from the relation between progressive accomplishment and time.) Draw a functional block diagram showing an engineering organizational system.
A functional block diagram can be drawn by using blocks to represent the functional activities
and interconnecting signal lines to represent the information or product output of the system
operation. A possible block diagram is shown in Figure 14.
