How to handle the relationship between process technicians and production supervisors

The director is in charge of the technicians! Follow orders in all actions. Of course, sometimes when the supervisor’s skills are inferior to those of a technician, psychologically (the technician thinks, “He’s the supervisor even though his skills aren’t as good as mine!”) The director thought, “I know everything; what do I need you for?” ”) It’s essential to maintain balance; otherwise, the relationships will surely not be handled well.

It can be simply understood as the relationship between the part and the whole. Here, the production director is generally in charge of overall production, while technicians are mainly responsible for one or two production sections. Everyone shares the same overall interests, so it is necessary to work together well.

As for how problems that arise during production are handled, the responsibility of the production manager is to ensure safe and stable production, while the role of technical staff is to improve manufacturing processes and reduce energy consumption. Production safety and stability come first; all efforts should be focused on production.

The psychological issues mentioned in Building 2# are very important. I am a technician now. Our production manager holds that position because of his close relationships with those in higher positions, but he lacks the ability to coordinate things effectively; as for his technical skills, they are even worse. On a daily basis, there are countless frustrating situations, and although it’s upsetting, one has to find ways to adapt. Boring.

The supervisors here usually only qualify for the position because of their strong technical skills; their technical level is presumably higher than that of the process engineers. On a daily basis, they are responsible for production operations, while key decisions are made by the supervisors, usually through joint discussions. Process engineers are just lower-ranking officials: lol

Actually, relationships between people aren’t that complicated. It’s important to communicate more, that is, to talk more. From another perspective: everyone has strengths and weaknesses, everyone has their own stance, and everyone views issues from their own point of view. So here comes the question: a production manager might not be incompetent, a technician might not necessarily be skilled, it might not be appropriate for a technician to become a manager, and a manager might not be using the technician in the right position. What should be done? One should respect others; after all, they are usually older. Stances should be equal – everyone is just trying to make a living, so there’s no need to fear someone just because they’re a manager. When considering issues, one should take into account others’ perspectives so as not to suffer any losses oneself. Also, one should dare to voice problems, do so skillfully, and by taking others’ viewpoints into consideration, communication will go smoothly and things will be much simpler.

Let’s discuss the following: 1. If the production manager rises to that position due to his excellent skills, then he is certainly very capable; he has advantages over us and deserves respect. He should carry out his tasks diligently and cooperate well with others； 2. If the production manager doesn’t have exceptional technical skills, but he was able to get the position while one cannot, it means he has strengths in other areas such as management, coordination, and interpersonal skills; therefore, he should also be respected and one should cooperate actively with him in work ； 3. To work well with the production manager, one must carry out one’s duties diligently, do what an assistant or subordinate should do, actively share responsibilities, and take on obligations; otherwise, what is there any need for us? Work hard, and you’ll become a director sooner too! ! ! !

What was said upstairs is very accurate – with any job, it’s the attitude that matters. If the supervisor is competent, one should learn from him; if their abilities are inferior to one’s own, things become even easier. By assisting the supervisor and doing one’s own duties diligently, one’s talents will surely shine through. In short, one must be humble.

Technicians provide production guidance, while the production supervisor oversees the production process!:lol

I just posted a thread here, and suddenly I realized I’ve gone back to first grade – could it be a New Year’s gift?!

Is there no process supervisor either? If there is one, you are under his supervision and generally report to him as well as follow his instructions. In that case, the production supervisor is in charge of the work teams. If there is no process supervisor, then of course you have to follow the orders of the production supervisor. A higher rank always has more power!

I think the key is the hierarchical relationship between superiors and subordinates; there’s no need for any conflicts. If people don’t get along, it’s better to make adjustments to the team members to avoid wasting production resources. Working together is a matter of fate, so we should cherish it, treat others with sincerity, and strive to improve ourselves.

I think they should be unified, with the same ultimate goal. Production technicians have the right to give suggestions, while the production supervisor holds the authority to make production decisions, similar to the relationship between advisors and commanders in the military. In actual work, one should respect each other; success brings mutual benefit, and failure brings mutual loss.

It’s just a matter of different responsibilities. The supervisor holds positions related to administrative and technical management, and is primarily responsible for oversight. Technical staff are focused on technical aspects and should submit to the supervisor’s management. In terms of technology, the supervisor needs to listen carefully to the suggestions and opinions of the technical staff in order to make correct decisions. Conflicts between the two parties usually arise from an incorrect attitude – both sides wanting to hold power, which is dangerous. If everyone tries to be in charge, it’s inevitable that decisions will be made based on personal preferences rather than rules, leading to production safety issues. Work is work; too many personal factors should not be involved, and one should simply do their own job well

In simple terms, it’s about knowing how to handle relationships with managers at work

The director is the direct supervisor of the process engineer, who must obey the director’s instructions

The director is the commander, and the technician is the staff officer! If something goes wrong due to poor performance, of course it’s the commander who has to take responsibility! But you can also change people!

When on duty, one is uncomfortable; when not on duty, one is at ease. Understanding this, everything is fine. For a living, people travel thousands of miles in search of wealth; it’s all because of money.

First, it’s necessary to clarify the difference between the role of a manager and that of a technician. A manager is a position related to management, while a technician refers to someone who works in a technical capacity. In companies, there are generally two paths: the management path and the technical path. However, overall, management carries significant responsibilities, so all matters within the organization are decided by managers. Technicians, on the other hand, go through a process of gaining knowledge from ignorance; there’s no need to distinguish between whom is more important or less important. What’s most important is to enhance communication and do one’s job well.
