Abstract: A manufacturing enterprise needs to undertake a wide range of projects to sustain its viability. Inevitably, a basis is required to delineate the complex mechanics of the process from project generation to implementation. For this purpose, a combination of interdisciplinary ideas and accepted concepts from new product development, engineering economics and organisational control were used to help identify issues and establish relationships of the parameters involved in the process. Using this basis, a number of engineering/technical projects from some manufacturing firms were assessed. Besides achieving a perspective of the state of current practice, some important implications on this significant dimension of enterpreneurial reality were derived.
