Our factory’s process engineers not only handle that, but they also have to manage the stationary equipment! There’s so much to do; it’s quite exhausting

1. Overview: Production process management is one of the key aspects of enterprise production management, and it represents the technical measures that must be adopted to ensure the normal operation of production in an enterprise. The accuracy and advancement of a company’s production processes are key to managing and controlling production; they ensure the company’s profitability and are also essential for its survival. As part of an enterprise management information system, it provides necessary and timely data and information to other systems on the one hand, and processes the data from other systems within the enterprise on the other, thereby enabling the sharing of enterprise information and ensuring the validity, consistency, and timeliness of such information. II. The production process management system consists of seven subsystems in total. 1. Management of production technical documents: Handles tasks related to the management of consumption and compliance standards during the device production process. This section mainly includes the following functions: materials, energy consumption, consumption of water, steam, etc., compliance of the equipment with standards, technical analysis, and technical summaries. 2. Process data management: handles the task of managing the operation of the equipment. This section mainly includes the following functions: process conditions, production process, and 3. Management of plant startup and shutdown plans – handling the management of plans for starting up and shutting down the plant. This section mainly includes the following functions: application for start-up and shutdown plans, approval of start-up and shutdown plans, recording of historical data on device start-ups and shutdowns. 4. Management of temporary processes and standards: handling the management of temporary processes and standards. This section mainly includes the following functions: creation of temporary process cards, submission of requests for temporary standards, approval of temporary standards. 5. Statistical report management: handling the management of production process statistics and reports. This section mainly includes the following functions: Monthly technical report, Monthly device operation data report, Quarterly device operation data report, Annual device operation data report, Device compliance data sheet, Monthly energy report. 6. Comprehensive query management: Enables the production process management department to query data from other relevant departments. This section includes the following functions: scheduling morning reports, production scheduling orders, planned statistics reports, quality inspection reports, daily quality reports, morning reports on the quality of distillates, distillate qualification rates, quality testing data, plant leakage rates, equipment integrity rates, and instrument-related metrics, as well as plant wastewater discharge qualification rates and oil content in wastewater, along with key financial indicator tables

It mainly involves matters related to technology, such as process parameters, process procedures, and solving technical problems

Another important responsibility of process technicians is to continuously optimize process parameters through the analysis of production data.

It mainly involves work related to processing and technology. The simplest approaches are the inspection and adjustment of process parameters, as well as the adjustment of product output and quality; in addition, there is the inspection of whether operators follow standard procedures. At the same time, contribute one’s own opinions to the production supervisor regarding process improvements. Help the workshop manage some daily tasks.

Simply put, technicians have to do everything except for dealing with people. And managers must be involved in managing people.

Responsibilities of the process engineer: 1. Responsible for managing the production processes in the workshop, including drafting process operation procedures and job descriptions. They are also tasked with providing employees with the necessary training in processes and operational skills, and bear leadership responsibility for ensuring compliance with these procedures and descriptions； 2. Inspect and supervise employees to operate strictly in accordance with the process operating procedures and job-specific operating methods, and promptly correct and address any violations of process discipline ； 3.

In short, it involves maintaining the production processes, as well as handling some routine management tasks for which no payment is provided

It can be said that there is no fixed pattern; different companies assign different tasks to people. In our company, for example, my role involves welding processes – I am responsible for conducting process evaluations and creating process cards. For physical and chemical experiments, it is also necessary to frequently go to the workshop, as in the event of quality issues, the first step is to examine the manufacturing process. What I do now is in manufacturing processes. The company will need to obtain design certificates in the future, so I need to start learning design right now. You’ll see that it’s different; however, tasks related to process evaluation and the preparation of process cards basically have to be done by process engineers

1. Development and improvement of auxiliary experimental products； 2. Responsible for the testing of experimental products and their practical application ； 3. Responsible for the control and maintenance of experimental instruments and equipment ； 4. Assist in the design and improvement of production technologies and processes ； 5. Responsible for providing technical guidance and support during the production process ； 6. Responsible for monitoring product quality and handling defective products ； 7. Assist the production supervisor in providing regular technical training to employees.

Thank you all for your guidance; I now have a general understanding. Could you please recommend a few more books that process engineers should read? Thanks
