Moving into production engineering

Moving into production engineering

Moving into production engineering

(OP)
Hi,

I've just recently finished my mechanical engineering apprenticeship and have been offered a job in a production engineering environment manufacturing pumps.

I come from a University environment where I usually produce prototypes or small batch runs.

I'm just looking for some advice on working within a production workshop eg whats expected of me output/time wise as i expect it will be faster paced than what im used to.

Thanks

Thanks Zinov!

Just trying to get out into the "real world" whilst making some cash on the way.

RE: Moving into production engineering

I don't think you will find the answer of what is expected from you on this forum. It's a question you have to ask to your boss. Usually a new hire coming from University is not expected to be at full speed right away.

I think this thread Link could give you some pointers.

Good luck!

Patrick
