You're facing pushback on new technology in production. How can you get the design team on board?
Introducing new technology into production can be a game-changer for manufacturing engineering, but it's not uncommon to encounter resistance, especially from the design team. Understanding the root of this pushback is crucial. It could stem from a fear of the unknown, a lack of understanding of the new technology, or concerns about how it will affect current processes. Your role is to address these fears head-on, provide clear information, and demonstrate how the new technology will benefit not just the production but also the design process. By fostering open communication and demonstrating empathy towards the concerns of your design team, you can begin to build the necessary support for technological advancements.
