May I ask, how should the responsibilities be divided within the Mechanical Equipment Department, and what is a suitable way to determine job positions and staffing levels?

As the title suggests, what should be the appropriate number of employees in the Mechanical Equipment Department? How should the tasks be divided, and what is the best way to determine job positions and staffing levels? By workshop division, or by specialty division?
What the leader says is always right.
The leader didn’t know how to make the distribution, so they came to me and asked for my advice
Generally, based on a more professional classification, they are divided into moving equipment, stationary equipment, special management, and comprehensive management. It is best to have a sufficient staffing level for both moving and stationary equipment, with a structured hierarchy in place.
By specialty, these include electrical systems, instrumentation, pressure vessels, mechanical equipment (including moving and stationary equipment), spare parts and materials, archives, and training. If some have been assigned to other departments, they may not be established. The staffing is arranged according to the workload distribution among workshops and departments.

Classified by specialty: moving equipment, stationary equipment, electrical (2 people, both of whom need to obtain high-voltage and low-voltage certificates). Since high voltage work requires two people to carry out, one can usually be in charge of high and low voltage systems as well as instruments – these four areas of expertise
First, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the Mechanical Equipment Department in order to define specific roles; thereafter, the size of the company needs to be taken into account to determine the number of personnel for each role
In private enterprises, there is 1 head of the 800,000-ton equipment department (no separate department), 1 engineer, and 1 person in charge of mechanical equipment. 1 person for static equipment in total ； 4 people. 1 chief and 3 deputies in the State-owned Equipment Department, 3 section chiefs, 1 person for comprehensive tasks, 2 persons for moving equipment, 3 persons for stationary equipment, 3 persons for contract management, 1 person for asset management, 1 person for electrical matters, and 1 person for instrumentation – a total of ； 19 people.
The previous speakers have covered the general categories quite well; I think it’s better to list the actual tasks first and then determine the categories based on those tasks as well as the actual conditions of the company.
Our organization generally classifies positions by specialty: mechanical equipment, stationary equipment, special management, electrical and instrumentation management, as well as civil engineering management
