Centralized management?

(C---E) The welding supervisor is responsible for controlling tasks such as the evaluation and disposal of defective welds. Two \"responsible for\" phrases sound a bit redundant; one of them can be replaced with \"in charge of\". The understanding in Chinese should be: the person responsible for welding is accountable for controlling non-conforming products (such as review, disposition, etc.). The person in charge of welding is responsible for controlling non-conforming welded products, such as reviewing them and disposing of them. The Process Research Institute is responsible for the overall management of controlling defective welded products. The focal point for this task is the Process Institute; could the sentence structure be changed? The Process Institute is the entity responsible for managing the control of non-conforming welding products. ---------------------------------------------For your information

The responsible unit is the focal point—first read it, accept it first and then understand it gradually!

Centralized management = centralized administration. The Process Research Institute is responsible for the centralized management of welding defective products. The Process Institute is responsible for the centralized management of non-conforming welding products control.

Centralized management – Centralized management. According to Cihai, one meaning of “gui” is “to be assigned specifically for a particular task””； “There is an interpretation of “mouth” as a channel ； 　　Centralized management actually refers to managing through specific channels, with each party fulfilling its own responsibilities based on the powers granted and duties assigned. 　　This pipeline must be properly managed according to assigned responsibilities; there should be no gaps in oversight ； 　　Don’t interfere or get involved in matters that are not your concern; avoid missteps ； 　　For matters beyond the scope of one’s responsibilities, approvals must not be given arbitrarily, and one should not overstep their authority ； 　　For example: business administration and taxation should not be confused ； The police, courts, and procuratorates should not be conflated ； Everyone should fulfill their own responsibilities and duties. I asked about the term “focal point” in 2007; you can find relevant information at http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/redirect.php?gid=4&fid=26&tid=559283&goto=nextnewset. There are many explanations available online; you can also check out http://www.icrc.org/Web/chi/sitechi0.nsf/html/eng-chi-glossary. This is just my personal opinion, for reference only!

“The term “designated authority” is commonly used in technical specifications. It is usually on the front page or the back page of the specification.

The final version for now is as follows: The person responsible for welding is in charge of tasks such as the evaluation and handling of defective welds. The person in charge of welding is responsible for controlling non-conforming welded products, such as reviewing them and deciding on what to do with them. The Process Research Institute is responsible for the overall management of controlling defective welded products. The Technology Research Institute shall serve as the focal point for controlling non-conforming welding products. The Process Manufacturing Department of each branch is responsible for dealing with welding defects within that particular branch. The Process Manufacturing Department of the branch company (subdivision) shall be responsible for the disposal of non-conforming welding products.

Yinni’s posts are the focus at hcbbs.com these days. :) Yinni’s posts have been the highlight of the Haichuan Forum these days. focal point = the unit responsible for oversight; centralized management = management under centralized control. Both are common English terms used by China Daily. In English, “focal point” can also be translated as “the person in charge”: You are the focal point of this project. You are the main person responsible for this project (the key figure). The relationship between focal point and centralized management can be seen in the following example sentence: The focal point is a management entity that provides support for centralized network-management operations. (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/technology/handbook/IBM-Net-Mgmt.html) Centralized management is a term used in management theory (http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/centralized-management.html): Centralized management refers to a management approach in which all or most of the decision-makers (those who have the authority, control, and responsibility over the entire organization) are located in one central office (the headquarters). By searching for the keyword “centralized management” on Google, one can find many articles on management theory that use “centralized management” as the translation for this concept. This is similar to the situation with “avoid confusion” – it can be translated as either “avoid being mixed up” or “avoid mix-up”; both are correct, with the difference being that in one case “mix up” is used as a verb and in the other as a noun. But we often say that translation should be concise; the older generation also says that translation should be faithful, expressive, and elegant. Regarding the Chinese phrase from upstairs, Yinni: it actually means “the Research Institute for Technology is responsible for the centralized management of welding defects.” So I think it’s sufficient to translate it as “responsible for centralized management,” rather than translating it in the sense of “the designated unit is responsible for management.” But there isn’t really much difference between the two; just choose the one you prefer and use that for translation. :handshake
