The internal job description of an enterprise, company or other entity of entrepreneurial / economic / scientific activity determines the rights and obligations of engineering and technical personnel, and also specifies the powers of the administrative apparatus. The document is executed according to the standard model and as amended by regulatory acts, which, in turn, regulate all aspects of labor relations in accordance with the provisions of the current Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Technologist: job description
Technological engineer is a specialized specialist responsible for compliance with safety regulations and established labor / production standards. The procedure for accepting a person to work and relieving him of his post is regulated by the internal charter of the institution (by order of the director of the enterprise on the basis of a submission drawn up by the head of the relevant structural unit).
The job description, depending on the specifics of the institution in question, may contain both universal and original provisions. In particular, along with the requirement to know all the technological nuances and available production modes, the document often declares unique criteria aimed at maintaining perfect sanitation, perfect fire safety, and so on. For example, the chemist-technologist in his actions is guided not only by the clauses of the internal and official regulations - he also operates with GOSTs, which establish the framework of permissible production deviations at enterprises with a potentially dangerous production cycle.
The duties of a process engineer
Take a direct part in the development and step-by-step implementation of modern technological schemes related to the optimization of production costs; to calculate the economically profitable rates of mechanization and automation in order to achieve maximum competitiveness of finished products; initiate progressive modernization of the enterprise taking into account the real market situation.
To choose the form of technical equipment for workplaces, as well as to ensure the correction of existing and the development of new plans for the installation of equipment (based on the mathematical calculation of the most justified power load of existing units and assemblies).
- Establish a reasoned order of work with the possibility of making the necessary amendments (an order that, with any input, would guarantee the continuity of the process).
Coordination of the results with the rest of the company is included in the list of so-called mandatory conditions - they also contain this job description. The process engineer bears full responsibility for the disruption of the work process if it is caused by the untimely delivery of important information to the direct performers, that is, to the staff.
Production Schedule and Role of a Process Engineer
The challenges faced by a leading process engineer are not always standard. Job description simplifies the search for the right solutions and specifies the boundaries of personal responsibility. Often, service functions are expanded precisely due to such a document: the technologist is entrusted with both monitoring production processes (at all its stages) and interacting with subcontractors / suppliers. Moreover, the specialist is also responsible for the strict observance of all requirements in the field of ensuring the safety of personal workplaces.
Document flow, planned reporting and practice
In addition, the job description of the chief technologist defines such provisions:
the responsible specialist is obliged to develop internal regulations regarding the operating modes of the enterprise, as well as monitor the strict implementation of the requirements for optimizing the production process;
this person oversees (or independently conducts) various patent studies, after which he determines the permissible, that is, the maximum, technical indicators of the improved / invented objects and mechanisms;
- the professional duty of a technologist is to compile methodological manuals describing all the nuances of the work of control programs (in some cases, debugging or updating them).
Analysis of existing foreign and domestic experience
Any enterprise that does not implement the existing technological developments follows the path of production stagnation. In the future, products manufactured by the entity ceases to be competitive, which, of course, entails bankruptcy.
And here is what the job description says about this:
A process engineer must constantly study progressive areas of expertise and accumulate knowledge about existing production shifts with the subsequent implementation of the results in their own enterprise.
- Analysis of the causes of regularly appearing marriage is also included in the list of fundamental doctrines of the administrative document. According to the instructions, the person responsible for identifying the sources of defects is still the same technologist. The responsibilities entrusted to him by the leadership include a clause that literally looks like this: "Improving the productivity of the work process by implementing production solutions used in domestic and foreign enterprises."
Streamlining technology algorithms in-house
Implementation of continuous monitoring of the main processes at the enterprise is a rather complicated complex work. The process engineer is constantly forced to "keep abreast" and monitor compliance with production discipline.
Any omissions, whether it is a violation in the operation of technological equipment or a dismissive attitude on the part of personnel towards safety rules, will somehow affect the career of a specialist.
In view of this, the technologist, like no one else in the enterprise, is interested in rationalizing and improving production capacities in order to maximally eliminate the negative impact of the human factor on the basic algorithms for obtaining products. By the way, this interest is “stimulated” by the job description. The technological engineer, by virtue of the service hierarchy, keeps track of the economic efficiency of the technologies being introduced and regularly submits to the management a conclusion with reasonable conclusions regarding the appropriateness of further use of the developments.
Technological features of sewing production
A process engineer working in the clothing industry should:
- to fulfill their professional duties, taking into account applicable laws and GOSTs that regulate the parameters for the manufacture of clothing products;
- rely in their decisions on the internal charter of the enterprise and the orders of management;
- analyze the state of the market in order to be able to plan the economic activities of the organization, taking into account the real situation;
- sociability (we are talking about observing the ethics of business communication);
- fully navigate in all the nuances of the process of obtaining finished products.
In addition, the garment manufacturing technologist must constantly look for ways to minimize raw materials costs. A comparative analysis of tissue quality is also his prerogative.
Full participation in the life of the enterprise
The internal regulatory document unequivocally indicates that the sewing production technologist is not professionally limited by the functions of the controller-observer - he is a multi-vector employee focused on total rationalization.
The balanced and controlled “evolution” of the sewing company, first of all, lies in the plane of successful forecasting of market trends. However, it is impossible to predict conjunctural shifts and fluctuations without a systematic modernization of personnel. For this reason, the job description of the chief technologist provides for such a clause as direct participation in preparatory work aimed at improving the qualification category of personnel.
Food Production: Technological Aspects
Among the dominant responsibilities of the specialist in charge is working with standards (GOST, TU), which formulate the basic requirements for products. The food production technologist is guided by the administrative document to create and approve new recipes or to launch in the line the required recipes in order to increase the assortment and increase the competitiveness of the enterprise. This employee thoroughly and regularly examines the work line to identify deviations of a sanitary-epidemiological nature.
Among other things, the food production technologist is responsible for maintaining trade secrets (intentional or unintentional disclosure of prescription secrets may lead to the dismissal of the person in charge with a subsequent judicial prospect).
The essence of the work of a chemist-technologist
Unlike most colleagues, the chemist-technologist spends the lion's share of the working day not in production, but in the laboratory, which, incidentally, is located right at the enterprise. Although, of course, the participation of a specialist in the process of obtaining finished products is not limited to experiments alone. The profile of the organization can be anything, starting with research activities and ending with practical developments in the bowels of a standard industrial plant.
In view of the “laboratory accent,” the employee’s professional responsibilities primarily come down to controlling the quality of raw materials and analyzing the state of the final products. Hazardous substances, volatile reagents and expensive equipment surround the technologist on a daily basis, which, of course, leaves its mark on general safety rules (the use of personal protective equipment, disinfection of outer clothing, and so on).
Rights and Responsibilities
When concluding a labor agreement, the job description plays the role of an addition. In it, in addition to the full list of duties of the employee, his rights are prescribed, as well as the conditions for liability in accordance with the current legislation of the country.
The fundamental right of a process engineer is the right to demand from the higher authorities the provision of comprehensive assistance and full assistance in the performance of his duties. Among the prerogatives of a specialist in this profile is the ability to influence all processes without exception , and their modes (up to a complete stop of the enterprise).
