Engineering companies in Syria suffer from a lack of comprehensive quality management implementation, leading to inaccuracies in components and design flaws during execution. This research aims to develop quality procedures for implementing Manufacturing Integration Modeling (FIM) in engineering firms. The study is of significant importance in enhancing efficiency, productivity, and fostering collaboration among different departments, while mitigating risks and ensuring safety. The research addresses challenges[1] such as difficulties in accessing information, participant availability, and data consistency, and poses questions on improving quality management procedures to tackle these challenges. Through literature review, case studies, and interviews with industry experts, the research seeks to provide recommendations to enhance the quality and efficiency of engineering operations in Syria post-crisis, thereby contributing to sector development and boosting innovation and competitiveness for engineering companies.
