MANAGEMENT 1: Effective Sustainable Engineering Management Report

This report delves into the critical aspects of sustainable engineering management, emphasizing the essential skills and strategies engineering managers need to adopt. It highlights the importance of developing manageable and realistic strategies, seeking sustainable partners and vendors, conducting thorough assessments, and effectively communicating sustainable strategies to stakeholders. The report emphasizes the need for engineers to consider environmental management, assess project opportunities, and foster open communication to enhance management skills and achieve project and company goals. The literature suggests that effective sustainable engineering management requires a holistic approach, integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations into every stage of the project lifecycle. The report provides a framework for engineering leaders to implement sustainable practices, contributing to long-term organizational success and environmental responsibility.

What does the literature suggest that engineering managers need to do to achieve effective
sustainable Engineering Management in your area of specialization?
Sustainable Engineering Management is an essential aspect that ever manager need to have
regardless of the field of specialization (Alias, Zawawi, Yusof and Aris, 2014: p.65).
Considering the environmental management for a sustainable future, there are specific
management skills that the engineering leaders need to have to achieve sustainable engineering
management (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017: p.98). The first task the engineering managers need to
implement is developing a manageable and a realistic strategy (Chardine-Baumann and Botta-
Genoulaz, 2014: p.140). When an organization has a project, the first thing is to come up with
goals of that project, from there the engineering managers develop specific strategies outlining
the parties and tools that the plan needs to achieve the project goals. The second task is to go for
sustainable partners and vendors. Every organization expects quality project based on the budget,
to make sustainable engineering management (Gmelin and Seuring, 2014: p.6); the engineers
need to seek the help of manageable partners and sellers. Another important thing apart from the
above issues is to do an assessment on the current state of the project or the organization. After
the evaluation, the engineers will be able to identify the opportunities in the field and the areas
that need some improvement (Epstein, 2018: p.89). However, when doing an assessment, they
should check on cost savings and the overall profit the opportunities will have to the company or
the field they are working within the company. On the other hand, another vital task is to
communicate the sustainable strategies the engineers have to other stakeholders (Giannakis and
Papadopoulos, 2016: p.460). For instance, the employees who should be working on the project,
the suppliers and the sponsors of the project. The importance of communication in achieving
sustainable engineering management is that other people would give out their views concerning

various approaches of managers (Luthra, Garg and Haleem, 2015: p.350). From other
stakeholders’ opinions, the managers can get essential tips to improve n their management skills,
hence realizing the goal of a project and the company.
