Engineering Fundamentals
 Engineering personnel apply essential
knowledge, skills, behaviors, and practices
needed to ensure:
• Equipment performs as required
• The plant is maintained within design
requirements
• Margins are controlled
• The plant is operated safely and reliably
6
Engineering Fundamentals
• Five principle level categories of engineering
fundamentals
Monitor and Evaluate
Operate, Maintain, and Modify in a Controlled
Manner
Communicate, Advise and Advocate
Acquire and Maintain Expert Knowledge
Critical Thinking, Decision-Making, and
Challenging
7
Must Know OE - MKOE
• Part of Performance Objectives & Criteria
• A collection of the most important OE documents
issued since 1980. Engineering MKOE is found in
INPO 12-005.
• As discussed in Recommendation 2 of SOER 102, Engaged, Thinking Organizations
 MKOE should be included in initial and continuing
training for supervisors

Vendor Product Quality
• INPO 90-009, Conduct of Design Engineering
Revised for Cyber, Digital, and Vendor Quality
Good Practices (Nov. 2012)
Examples of Appendix C (new):
• Identify, document, and communicate
expectations between engineering vendors and
the requesting organization
• Perform a feasibility study to identify the best
solution
11
Vendor Product Quality
• Perform licensing review prior to starting design
work
• Develop a road map of applicable standards,
procedures, and best practices. Communicate
this to the engineering service providers
• Determine hardware lead time impacts on project
schedules
• Document and communicate expectations for
project and deliverable quality
