Question

Tell why organizations like IEEE and manufacturers use engineering standards. IE, what are the benefits of establishing and following standards?

Answer 1

The use of common standards provide organizations a way to verify a design; the primary role of design standards is to ensure that essential requirements are being met. This includes safety, uniformity, serviceability, durability, and I’m many cases, form, fit, and function. A common standard also allows for one to evaluate improvements and cost savings while performing research and development as this decision during design could impact construction, cost, schedule, manufacturing, quality, and systems integration.

One example of the importance of standards includes purchasing a common part from a vendor. Without a standard requirement for that part to design to, you could receive a different type of part from different vendors.
