What are the responsibilities of an engineer in manufacturing?

Question

anyone know? also what is the manufacturing system?

aNYONE?????????????

Answer 1

Since you're talking about manufacturing, I assume you're talking about a mechanical engineer. A mechanical engineer isn't necessarily involved with day-to-day manufacturing operations, his primary job is design of manufacturing machinery, as well as product design. Smaller manufacturers don't usually have a mechanical engineer on staff, but big ones do, since manufacturing processes are constantly being revised for greater efficiency, or changed as the product line changes. For example, as new car designs come out, sheet metal forming engineers have to work out proper press die geometries to stamp out car body parts. Or for another example, a mechanical engineer can design a new kind of a drywall, metal, or concrete screw for a manufacturer of screws. Yet another example would be metalworking shop engineers, who have to understand precisely how metal cutting tools work. Finally, as an extreme example, robots are increasingly taking over manufacturing jobs, and robotics would be something that some mechanical engineers would specialize in. So, you could have Company A designing and building robots, requiring robotic engineers, selling them to Company B that uses them, again requiring robotic engineers to know how to use them.

Answer 2

A manufacturing engineer is one who supervises manufacturing operations and sees that the operation is done
efficiently according to its standards. Manufacturing engineers are trained from either mechanical, electrical, chemical, industrial or civil engineers. Many industries however have chemical or mechanical engineers as over-all resident manager.
Manufacturing system is a process of producing goods by volume.
