After moving from a production role to a design role
Thread Content
While working in production, I always felt that my theoretical knowledge was insufficient; but after moving to a design role, I realized that I had failed to make use of the opportunities available in production and lacked practical knowledge greatly
Hehe, this is the typical case of realizing too late that you need a book when you need it! As long as one is willing to learn*, progress is possible. Take your time.
Having production experience is very beneficial for design; the key is to be someone who makes an effort to accumulate knowledge.
Sigh, now I’m trying hard to recall. Learning is endless
I’ve been thinking about this issue these past few days. Last year I was involved in installation work for a whole year, while this year I’m focused on management; it feels like there’s a big difference. During the installation phase, each day was filled with activity – I was so busy that I didn’t have time to reflect on anything. Time kept pushing me forward, and although it seemed like I learned nothing in the end, upon reflection I realized I did have many thoughts in my mind. Now, with management work, I’ve been busy for two months; I can take some time to drink water whenever I want, and it seems like I’ve learned a lot. But when I think back, my mind is empty, and my personality has changed quite a bit
It’s not easy for the original poster; shifting from production to design is much more difficult.
It’s never too late to realize this problem! Some people still manage to design products without having worked in production positions; the original poster shouldn’t worry too much about such things!
Everything, from production to design, has to start over!
I have no experience in production; at most I have provided on-site technical guidance. However, new designers without production experience find it difficult to think in a comprehensive manner.
It’s never too late to mend the fold after the sheep are lost! With this lesson, I should be more careful in the future. Remember, learning is an endless process!
I also want to switch from technology development to the design industry in the future; I need to learn * first and accumulate knowledge
I’d like to ask: Is it a good idea to switch from R&D to design?
Me too; I switched from production technology to design. However, the production processes in my previous company were long and complex, and I had experience working with many types of equipment. It’s a pity I didn’t pay attention to some details at the time; thinking about it now, it’s quite regrettable, haha.
I’m going to start working at a design firm next month; there’s still half a month left, and I need to resolve the issues that exist in the production process. I’m quite nervous actually, as I’m not sure what challenges I’ll face from the perspective of production to design. I feel a bit at a loss.
It’s similar to my situation – I’m also going to start working at an engineering design company next month. Even though I’ve worked in a manufacturing company for two years, I feel there are still many shortcomings in my skills; my experience in design is limited and not well-developed, which makes me a bit nervous. Work hard
I feel the same way. I worked in a production role for half a year before being transferred to a design position; at that time I didn’t know what there was to learn on the construction site. It’s only now that I realize I have too little practical experience, and sometimes I really want to apply to work on-site for a while. For now, I think it’s better to learn more about the *standards first, to look at the drawings created by others, and to ask the master when something is unclear. Keep learning*!
I feel the same way. I worked in a factory for three years, then moved to a design firm. Once I was in a design role, I realized that I hadn’t taken many opportunities that were available in production roles； Now in study*
One realizes too late that one doesn’t have enough knowledge when it’s needed… Having some production experience helps one take into account factors such as the practicality of applications when designing, but design is a systematic task that requires continuous learning, especially in terms of process design^_^
With both on-site experience and design experience, the poster has a bright future ahead
It seems there are quite a few people at Haiyou who are shifting from production to design; this must be quite difficult! How did everyone manage to do it? Please share some tips; I also want to make the switch in the future! Thank you!
