Engineers and operators clash over project timelines. How can you bridge the gap and ensure project success?
In the field of control engineering, project timelines are often a contentious issue, leading to clashes between engineers and operators. As someone involved in such projects, you know that each group has its own priorities and pressures. Engineers focus on precision, safety, and compliance with technical standards, which can lead to longer timelines. Operators, on the other hand, often prioritize efficiency and speed to meet market demands or management expectations. This fundamental difference in approach can cause friction and hinder project success. Understanding both perspectives is crucial to bridging the gap and ensuring that projects are completed successfully.
