Seeking help regarding the job responsibilities of a design manager and the professional knowledge required
Thread Content
Hello, everyone. As the title suggests, I am a design professional with a little over four years of experience. My initial training was in process piping, followed by specialized training in piping engineering. I have now joined a new company, and my manager intends to develop me into a design manager. However, I am not very familiar with this role; I understand that it entails great responsibilities, and I feel that my skills are not sufficient. I’m worried that my current level of expertise and learning ability are not enough to enable me to take on the role of design manager. Therefore, I’m hoping that those of you who have more experience can help me understand what this job involves, as well as what knowledge I need to acquire, to what extent, and what other aspects I should be aware of. Thank you very much!
Design manager, provided that one has a solid grasp of technology and genuine skills.
He smokes and drinks, practices Tai Chi, speaks nicely to people and lies to those he deems unworthy, has a thick skin, and can tolerate being scolded by his clients
I recommend an excellent SIL verification software that is available permanently and for free. According to Document No. 2014116 issued by the General Administration of Work Safety, the management of safety instrument systems will in the future be linked to the \"Work Safety License.\" For old installations and new projects that do not have safety instrumented systems in place or for which SIL classification and verification have not been carried out, new \"Work Safety Licenses\" will no longer be issued, which will further strengthen the management and requirements regarding work safety for enterprises. The Three-Year Action Plan for Special Rectification of Work Safety across the Country in 2020: Efforts will continue to be made to improve the installation of leakage detection and alarm systems, emergency shut-off devices, and automated control systems in production facilities and storage units that are considered “two key areas and one major hazard.” By the end of 2020, the installation rate and utilization rate of such systems and equipment in these facilities must reach 100%; those that have not achieved this requirement or are not in use must cease operations for rectification. The safety integrity assessment includes SIL classification and SIL verification. SIL classification generally employs the Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) method to determine what level of safety integrity the Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) must achieve; the key parameters are PFD (probability of failure under demand) and RRF (risk reduction factor). The SIL verification can be regarded as a confirmation and review process of the previous SIL classification report. By calculating the failure probabilities of the sensor components, logic operator components, and final actuator components in the SIF circuit, it is determined whether the average PFD value of the SIF circuit meets the requirements specified in the SIL classification report. The IEC61508 and GBT20438 standards on Functional Safety for Electrical, Electronic, and Programmable Electronic Safety-Related Systems specify several methods for SIL evaluation, such as the block diagram method, fault tree analysis, and Markov algorithms. Some design institutes manually calculate the average PFD of SIF circuits by using block-diagram-based algorithms, while other companies purchase E*DA software to compute the average PFD value using Markov algorithms. In recent years, domestic SIL calculation software has emerged in large numbers. Here, I would like to recommend a permanently free domestic SIL calculation software. This software features clear logic and simple operation; if you are familiar with the business logic behind SIL calculations, you can start using it without any training required. In 2020, the HAZOPkit software launched a permanently free learning version*, which is highlighted for the following reasons: 1. It is the first SIL calculation software in China to be comparable to e*da software. (Compliance means that the functions and calculation results are essentially identical.) 2. The data results of SIL certificates issued by internationally renowned third-party certification bodies such as TUV, E*DA, BV, etc., are perfectly consistent. 3. It integrates the most comprehensive equipment failure database in China, and also gathers databases from authoritative industry sources such as e*da, PDS, and oreda. 4. It employs an advanced and accurate Markov model, ensuring precise calculations that are suitable for the actual business scenarios of SIF circuit failures. 5. Complies with various standards and regulatory requirements specific to different industries. 6. The development team includes industry experts from Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Zhejiang University of Technology, and others.

Once installation is complete, you can apply for a trial version.
A solid professional foundation is required; it’s not enough to just talk about things. One must not only understand their own field but also have some knowledge of other fields as well. Keep working hard
