Roles of Engineers in Manufacturing

Many engineers have as their function the designing of the products.The product is brought into reality through the processing or fabrication of materials.

Design Engineer should know what the design is to accomplish what assumption can be made, what service environment of product must withstand what appearance the final product is to have.

To meet  these requirements  the material(s) to be used must be selected and specified. In most cases to utilize the material, and to enable the product to have the desired form, the designer knows that the certain manufacturing process will have to be employed. In many cases the selection of material may dictate the what the manufacturing process must be used or the utilization of the process effectively and economically, certain dimensional size can dictate the process. Design for manufacturing uses the knowledge of manufacturing process,  and so the design and manufacturing engineers should work together to integrate design and manufacturing activities.

Manufacturing Engineers select and coordinate specific process and equipments to be used, Or supervise and manage their use. These engineers must have a broad knowledge about manufacturing process so that desired operation can be done effectively and efficiently without overloading or damaging the machines and without adversely affecting the materials being processed.

Industrial Engineers /Manufacturing Engineers are responsible for the design layout of the factories. They must take into account the inter relationship of design and the properties of the materials.

Material Engineers devote their major efforts to developing new and better materials. They too concerned with how these materials can be processed and with the effects that the processing will have on the properties of the materials. Although their role may be quit different, it is apparent that a large proportion of engineers must concern themselves with the interrelationships of the material and manufacturing process.
