Manufacturing Engineering Discusson

Good Afternoon

I wonder if anyone can help? I'm looking to talk to Engineers in the Manufacturing Industry, especially food. I would like to pick your brains about how your depart is structured, what skill sets you need, how you do things like PPM’s, challenges faced etc….

Any help would be greatly apricated. Just a 10 minuet Q&A session!

    Perhaps you may obtain help through a trade association.

    This is the sort of discussion that these forums should be really good for. But in 15+ years of using them sadly they never have been ? There just aren't enough people using them to get the range of knowledge. And it's chicken and egg, because hardly anyone uses them (except for wiring and regs) it's impossible to attract more people to use them.

    Very frustrating as providing a means to share this sort of general professional experience is what the IET would be really useful for.

    Thanks,

    Andy

    I think Andy that the subject matter is just too diverse and fragmented. Also there are no categories to home in on. The system is flawed.

    Hi Chris,

    I agree with Andy that this is bang within scope of this community discussion. I am ex Water industry which might qualify as food! I have some material which might help, I just need to dig it out from the archives and anonymise it, please give me a day or 2

     

    Kind regards, John

    An electronic engineer recently lambasted these forums as “all wires!" because the most active discussion are about the wiring regs. It's a known fact that engineers and building electricians live in parallel universes most of the time.

    I explained that there were previously other subcategories - including education, transport, consumer electronics, telecommunications but they were deleted as a result of reorganisation.
