To jump out the thinking: I am just doing a work boss assigned, he told me what to do and how to do, I gonna do it.

This is what lots of we young man need to change: to get a panorama view of whole business. To explain your existence and reason you get the money paid.

This panorama view is a basic attitude for work.

I had been worked for three years in a small radiator manufacturer.

And My experience there kept asking a question: the comparison between human intuition and computer simulation. Especially when I was having lectures.

We were not producing radiators for cars but radiators for diesel generators and some other customized machines. I was not doing IE job there but I kept thinking a lot since I am a IE undergraduate before.

As defined by the industrial, averagely, there is a new model added to the database per 3 or 4 days, each new model may have similar name of parts but the size and even shape may look different, which make the processing more complicate or impossible to make plan every time.

Because once you make a processing plan, one day or half a day passed, and workers won’t even take a look at it, they just look at the assembly drawings and gather the parts together, assemble them.

Since lots of the products are customized, the producing time varies a lot, sometimes workers spend short time to assemble it because it was precisely machined, sometimes it cost a huge time for them to assemble together due to inaccurate tolerances.

What worse is, the painting job is outsourced, actually it is called ‘Electrophoresis’ (probably!), which makes it harder to get a preciser processing time.

What even worse is, we cannot do processing plan, we just design them, and send drawings and CNC codes to the manufacturing Dept. to produce them directly, without instructions from technology Dept.

There is no time to do such job~ you will fall behind your competitors.

I kept thinking the poor quality generated by this way, accompanied with poor standard and processing plan.

Each product likes a building, it has common feature like foundations, structures, walls, floors, interiors and exteriors, but each feature won’t be the same for two buildings, what problem is, we have hundreds of such types and still increasing with high speed.

That’s what I kept thinking, when can we simulate such a small but messy plant.

Of course not all aspect of IE is fulfilling but I think we have more versatility or works in different projects, different circumstances, which is a good factor in enjoying the career we took.
