Who is most responsible for the errors in the design drawings?
Thread Content
If there are errors in a design drawing, which leads to problems during manufacturing, the processes of drafting (designing), reviewing, obtaining approvals, and final authorization involve the designer’s signature, management review, approval by the production and technology department, signature from the standards department, and final approval by the chief engineer. If drawing errors occur during the processing process and cause losses, given the 100% responsibility involved, the signatures of the relevant departments must account for a large proportion! Design? The review leader again? Or it depends on the situation?
It can’t be generalized; it’s necessary to see where the specific error lies If it is a systematic error, the reviewer and designer bear greater responsibility ； If it is a detail issue, the responsibility for verification and design is greater. In short, each specific issue should be discussed individually, taking into account the responsibilities of each position. It’s necessary to look at the specific error; it’s only by knowing who is responsible that it’s possible to determine whose fault it is.
You’re wrong. First and foremost, it’s the responsibility of the design agency; they are responsible for making corrections and providing remedies
This really can’t be generalized in such a way; it needs to be analyzed based on the specific circumstances of the errors that occur
Let’s see how the performance bonuses are distributed; it seems that those who earn more money have greater responsibilities
Design bears the greatest responsibility. In a system that requires registration, the person who stamps the registration mark bears the greatest responsibility.
Designers bear the greatest responsibility, but design is a whole entity. When an individual commits a design-related mistake, although he/she bears primary responsibility, it represents a loss for the design firm as a whole – not only in terms of financial losses but also in terms of reputation. In severe cases, the firm may even have its design qualifications revoked, preventing it from working in this field for several years. Thus, in terms of responsibility, designers bear a heavy burden; yet in terms of the extent of the losses, it is the design firm that suffers the most. That’s why there are multiple stages of verification, review, and approval involved in the design process – to prevent individual mistakes and ensure overall accountability, so as to fulfill responsibilities properly for both the clients and the own company, with strict oversight at every step
If people must be caught, design is the top priority
