The two most important issues for diesel engine system engineers to handle engine applications are how to coordinate technical relationships in an organization/team and how to acquire working knowledge of different applications for system integration. This paper is the first part of a series of three inter-related papers (parts) addressing diesel engine applications (i.e., Part 1 - the relationship among applications, engine system design, systems engineering, and organization structure; Part 2 - general performance characteristics of diesel engine applications; and Part 3 - specific or special emissions, operating, and design characteristics of different applications). Specialization, departmentalization, and integration are the three most critical aspects in organization design for engine product development.
