Problems others face: Some design firms are really poor quality!

2008-01-03View Original

Thread Content

Design a vacuum system requiring a negative pressure of -0. 5 kilograms – as a result, a very large hydraulic injector was designed, and a 5-stage centrifugal pump was used as the power source; this was an overkill. In actual installation, it didn’t work, so it was necessary to use a smaller one instead. State-owned enterprise assets are lost in this way

There’s nothing that can be done about it; if everyone takes their responsibilities seriously at each stage, such problems won’t arise, but it’s sometimes difficult to control that.

Hehe, I think it’s probably because the designers didn’t pay close enough attention.

It must be a mistake; such situations arise from oversight in the revisions, and it’s possible to discuss with them to make the corrections.

Hehe, such things happen quite often in state-owned enterprises.

I agree with the original poster’s view; many design firms do not design with the interests of the owners as their priority.

It is mainly the sense of responsibility of the designers in the design institute
Reply #82008-01-03
It must have been done by someone lacking practical experience, without taking actual circumstances into account

I disagree with the original poster’s view; it’s not about whether it’s a state-owned enterprise or not, but rather a problem with the designers. Don’t talk about state-owned enterprises or foreign-funded enterprises. There are also foreign design firms with uneven quality. :lol :lol

I agree with the opinion above; the key is that those responsible for the design must be accountable, not the responsibility of state-owned enterprises or foreign companies, etc.!

The original poster only said that state assets have been lost, without going into further details. However, some state-owned enterprises did lack a sense of responsibility; things seem to have improved a lot now.

Design institutes always include a large margin of safety, mainly to avoid taking responsibility – it’s a matter of commitment

Recently I have been in more frequent contact with the design institute. The majority of their work is done conscientiously and responsibly. However, there is still a gap between the design work and actual production conditions; some design drawings and data do not meet the requirements of production, as excessive tolerances are usually specified. It is essential for both parties to maintain good communication and exchange their opinions in order to avoid losses that may arise during construction. The company needs to get more involved; it can’t just hand things over to the design institute and ignore them thereafter.
