Effective Part Nomenclature as a lever on engineering efficiency
Engineers are people too, and written descriptions will often feel more intuitive than alpha-numeric part numbers. Accordingly, part nomenclature can play a useful part in enhancing engineering efficiency. However, to fully realise these gains effective and consistent use of characters, structure and abbreviations is necessary.
Adam Tonks, QR_'s head of service offering, shares the building blocks of a part nomenclature system implemented for an EV start-up, and how tailoring nomenclature practices to specific business needs can establish a right-sized, scalable logic that can grow with an organisation.
