How to determine the ratio of design, verification and review personnel? Example: A.Design: Check: Review=6: 2: 1 (4 designers, 2 checkers, and 1 reviewer) B. Design: Check: Review=1: 1: 1 C.Design: Check: Review=10: 1: 1 D.Design: Check: Review=4: 1: 1 Which ratio do you think is most appropriate in actual operation? Or if you have a better idea, let’s talk about it... This post was last edited by laiqi on 2009-3-30 21:00 ]
I think BC is not suitable. B verification and the ratio of reviewers are too high to reflect the role of verification and review. Too many design staff in C will result in lack of energy in the verification and review personnel. AD can be configured according to the project and personnel conditions.
Taking our institute as an example, there is no fixed ratio depending on the project, but I feel that the more designers, the better. Many designers themselves are responsible for checking.
It is more reasonable to consider A in terms of workload. But in actual work, there are usually three people assigned, because the school reviewer requires a signature. In specific work, proofreaders and reviewers also have to share a certain amount of design work. Otherwise, the workload is uneven and the reviewers are too idle. If there are many designers for larger installations, one person may be responsible for the review ； If the design content is small, the reviewer can undertake the review work of several projects at the same time. For proofreaders, designers can proofread each other, so there is no need to specify the number of people. For a mature design institute, the proportion of personnel should be more middle-level (engineer-level), who can do both design and proofreading. Of course it is better to have more engineers and more engineers, but the relative cost will increase.
Such overly rigid regulations feel unrealistic. In actual work, the boundaries between designers, proofreaders and reviewers are not insurmountable. As far as my unit is concerned, the gap between designers and proofreaders is very small. 60% of designers can proofread. There are relatively few reviewers, but they also do a lot of design and proofreading work. I roughly estimated it, 10: 6: 3. This means that about 60% of designers can proofread and 30% can review.
We often proofread each other's drawings here. I feel that there is no obvious gap between design and proofreading. It’s just that in the first few years when I started working, I usually only designed and did not proofread drawings (the level was not good enough). After that, I did both design and proofreading.
We also proofread each other’s drawings. There are relatively few reviews:lol
