Highlights
The evaluation questionnaire consists of 110 questions to assess your project engineering against global best practices.
In addition, the questionnaire allows for two specific analyses:
- evaluation of "Lean Engineering" practices compared to other more standard practices
- consolidation of evaluations by type of actionable driver according to the Wevalgo organisational model
The technical development may be performed in-house or externalised; an initial question enables to choose between the two situations and the questionnaire adapt itself (management of internal development or management of external contractors performing the development); equipments, component or parts may be manufactured outside.
Wevalgo framework for the assessment of Project Engineering in 'single' client product delivery
