Equipment management
Thread Content
I have been working for half a year at a quite ordinary state-owned enterprise. I was assigned to the Equipment Management Department under the Operations Division. Since it’s a state-owned enterprise, there isn’t much to do on a daily basis. I’m not sure what exactly one can learn or do in a chemical plant. The future is truly uncertain! ! The salary is too low, and no better job can be found; I want to stay for a few years to gain skills, get promoted to engineer, and then move to a better company. But if this continues day after day, one won’t be able to acquire any skills; how can one then have the qualifications to change jobs? ? Please, experienced members, help me, a newcomer who has only been in this field for half a year! ! ! ! !
It is recommended that you first go and gain experience in the frontline production workshops at the grassroots level. For recent graduates, their understanding of the knowledge from books remains at a theoretical level; it is very important to combine theory with practice, and to deepen one’s understanding of what has been learned through practical experience – this is crucial for you ； Secondly, I feel that in your current position as well, you should spend more time on the site where the machinery is operated; this way you can gain a lot of practical knowledge. Workers like to interact with people who are eager to learn and approachable. I’m just borrowing it for reference. 1
The content covered in Chemical Plant Engineering* is quite comprehensive; the key aspects involve pumping and compressing equipment, while problems with stationary equipment are relatively less common. Heat exchangers also deserve more attention as they are widely used. It’s also necessary to study standards such as HG20592-20635-97 (for steel flanges, gaskets, and fasteners), as well as GB150 for pressure vessels. What’s lacking nowadays are people who can handle everything – those who are versatile in their skills; keep working hard! Brother
I’m similar to you; I have good equipment. In our factory, employees who are in charge of equipment enjoy good benefits after changing jobs. It mainly depends on how well one learns at the grassroots level, especially when it comes to maintaining equipment – a lot can be learned in that area
I agree with what was said above. I started from the ground up, working in maintenance first; that way you can understand what is needed. It’s important to observe closely and apply what you learn from books in practice. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed these days and don’t have much time to keep learning. So I take advantage of my work experience to learn as much as possible, especially regarding the types of workplaces you might end up in in the future: chemical plants (pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, etc.), and machinery factories (equipment installation, heat exchangers, towers, reactor design, etc.)
Everyone has said such wonderful things; in the future I will visit these sites more often and apply the knowledge learned from books to practice.
I agree with the view from the 5th floor. First of all, one should start at the grassroots level, gain an understanding of all the equipment in the factory, and know the principles behind each type of equipment. One must also have the ability to handle faults. I work in equipment management; I’ve been doing this job for seven years now. I hope you will study hard*.
Since you are in the Equipment Management Department, you should first learn the basic knowledge of equipment management, such as equipment management systems, equipment registration systems, and spare parts management. Do you know how many motorized and non-motorized devices there are in your factory, where they are located, and what their functions are? If you don’t know, learn it quickly. Secondly, spend more time on the job site, work closely with the maintenance technicians, learn how to repair various types of equipment, and strengthen your skills in design and drafting through practice. Finally, one must also be able to operate the equipment. You can change jobs when you feel you’re ready; there’s no need to wait until you get an engineer’s certificate (that takes 5 or 6 years – can you afford to wait that long?) ), you can also get certified as an engineer at your new employer. Keep it up; I wish your salary kept rising.
I suggest you go to the place where you were last and become a disciple of a technician. You need to work hard and use your brain; it doesn’t matter if it gets dirty or tiring! (The young person wakes up full of energy! ) Otherwise, you won’t be able to comprehend the knowledge in the books! :lol :lol :lol
I learned a lot today! Thank you all! :) :handshake
Here are a few words for you: diligence, thinking, asking, running, taking photos, disassembling. Be diligent, think more, ask more, run more (with tools, there’s no need for experienced workers to do the work), flatter more, and disassemble equipment more often
