Project management in mechanical engineering

Interdependencies between individual project phases are commonplace in mechanical engineering. Often, the development and production of individual components represent projects in themselves, so that the big picture is made up of numerous components.

In order to manage these complex dependencies and parallel running projects, a realistic project time planning is needed.
It supports you in coordinating the project schedule and meeting deadlines. With the help of the Gantt chart, you can visualize design, production, test and strategic planning steps as they are common in mechanical engineering. In this way, you create transparency about the current situation and future actions. By linking the plans of different sub-projects, you can identify all dependencies and bottlenecks at a glance and, if necessary, take countermeasures in good time and prevent delays.

In mechanical engineering, cross-functional and cross-departmental collaboration is required. This can be challenging at the beginning if individual team members or departments are not attuned to each other or do not communicate as closely.

With InLoox, you can optimize collaboration. Intelligent task management makes endless coordination loops a thing of the past. Responsibilities and deadlines are clearly defined so that all team members know at all times who has to do what and by when.
Integrated communication and documentation creates transparency. Collect everything important centrally in a task, link documents, and leave comments for your project members. This way you always have all relevant information and updates in one place.
