About the peculiarities of the work of chief designers - key figures for many industries, including those producing products for navy, we talk with technical director– chief designer of CJSC “NPC “AQUAMARIN” Mikhail ULANOV.

Mikhail Valerievich ULANOV

Graduated from the Leningrad Order of the Red Banner Mechanical Institute. He has been working in defense industry organizations for 53 years, 23 of them at the Granit Central Research Institute. He was engaged in the development and mastering of radio-electronic equipment for ship systems, technical preparation of production, and the manufacture of control systems for various purposes.

Since 2004 he has been working at CJSC SPC AQUAMARINE. Awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor, medals “300 years Russian fleet", silver medal from the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements, medal "For Services to Russian Cosmonautics", etc. Full member of the Russian Cosmonautics Federation. He has 11 copyright certificates of the USSR, 10 patents for inventions of the Russian Federation, 93 patents for utility models.

– « Chief designer“is not only a job title, but also a profession, and a unique profession.

– Mikhail Valerievich, what is the difference between the “designer” professions? and “chief designer”?

– The chief designer does not just develop the design of the product
and manages a team of developers, he is responsible for everything: from the formulation of the problem to its solution in the form of the final product. This is responsibility for the entire life cycle chain: technical task, design, organization of production, manufacturing, testing, delivery to the customer and operation
before disposal. Moreover, the responsibility is personal and sole.

– Should the chief designer be simultaneously a researcher, a designer, and a production worker?

- Yes. And one of the troubles of our production reality, along with the well-known problems of shortage professional knowledge and personnel, both engineers and workers, is the incompetence of some managers in the field of organization and production technology.

– That is, the chief designer must also be a competent technologist?

“I’m now going to say something that many of my colleagues probably won’t agree with. I believe that a person who does not know production technology cannot become a chief designer. He simply must understand the principles of processing the materials from which the product being designed will be made, and have a good understanding of the technological equipment. The lack of such knowledge often results in irrational organization of production, which increases the cost of production. By the way, the chief designer must be knowledgeable in economic issues; this is also an important component of the profession.

– Chief designers support entire industries, but what about the preparation of worthy replacements?

“Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter, because education is bad now.” I started my career in 1961 as an apprentice turner and went through all the further steps from technician to my current position. Honestly, a technician from the 60s will give many points ahead to a current engineer.

– What does this mean?

– I’ll give you an example, and I hope you’ll understand. A master's degree student who recently graduated from a reputable technical university comes to me for an interview for employment in an engineering position. I ask him, what is the area of ​​a circle?

Research and Production Center "AQUAMARINE"

Created in 1997. The company produces various instruments, devices and electronic equipment that are part of on-board, ground-based and ship-based control systems, radar systems of ships and submarines, active and passive radar stations for various purposes.

- Circles? How can it have area? We're probably talking about a circle!

- ABOUT! You, journalist, have figured it out. A circle is a line! And a modern engineer with a master’s degree thinks and responds with the formula for the area of ​​a circle. And what should I talk to him about next? And if you ask something specific, regarding, say, materials science, strength of materials, theoretical mechanics, that is, the fundamentals of engineering education, then you may not answer anything! And the material needs of such young people, in my opinion, are disproportionate to their capabilities.

– It turns out that engineering thought today rests on representatives of the older generation?

- I wouldn't say that. In the field of work organization - maybe. But there are young guys who come up with very interesting projects. However, they are usually not feasible in practice. As I already said, there is a lack of knowledge on organizing production processes.

- Do I need to teach?

– Many of my colleagues, heads of large enterprises with whom we are connected through work, also say that we need to teach. But what if the basic training of young specialists leaves much to be desired? Now it's very difficult.

- Do you have students?

- Yes. Several people consider me their teacher. Two of them are heads of other very serious enterprises.

– There are two myths in your industry. The first is that instrument making in Russia has lagged behind the world's leading manufacturers forever. Secondly, our country develops and produces the best devices for military purposes. Where is the truth?

– We lag behind foreign competitors in the production of mass products accessible to everyone. A unique radio-electronic equipment, one-piece, rare series products we develop and manufacture no worse than in other countries - leaders in instrument making. It is enough to turn your gaze into space, where many unique domestic electronic devices, systems and complexes.

– Five years ago you were awarded the medal “For Services to Russian Cosmonautics.” While working for the Navy, did you manage to make your mark in the space industry?

– My area of ​​interest includes the development and production of control systems for combat missiles, the majority of which are carried by ships. Satellites and spaceships are also launched using rockets that need to be controlled.

– Have your interests always been focused on this topic?

– Most of my 53 years labor activity I devoted 23 years to the Granit Central Research Institute to radio-electronic information and information-control complexes of sea, land and air bases. However, I had the opportunity to solve interesting design problems in other areas of activity. For example, in the 70s he was the scientific director of the development of a medical device for angiography and lymphography. In the second half of the 80s, the government obliged defense design bureaus to develop equipment for Food Industry. This is how an apparatus for grinding chocolate and nuts with a capacity of 40 kg per day was created.

The goal and result of developing new products is the product itself. The product belongs to the sphere of material objects and serves to meet the requirements of production and human needs. The development of a new product itself is a special stage related to the sphere of mental activity.

The development of new products is carried out by engineering and technical personnel through design and construction. Design and construction are interconnected processes that complement each other. The mental image is created in accordance with general rules design and construction and subsequently takes on its final, technically sound form.

The main task of a design engineer is to create a project that best meets the needs National economy, giving the greatest economic effect and having the highest technical, economic and operational indicators.” Such a general phrase equates designers of all industries, although it does not always reflect their specifics. and we will try to consider them taking into account their features.

First of all, it must be said that the design of even small products and units is a collective effort. In this regard, the creation of design bureaus at factories, departments of the main quality control department, are closely connected with technological departments (department of the chief metallurgist, department of the chief welder, etc.). And finally, designers are closely connected with testers and operators, where products are tested and refined.

President Putin, at a meeting with voters, said the following: “When the work on Avangard was completed (“Avangard” is the most modern air-launched military complex. The Avangard complex includes a winged unit, which launches with the help of ballistic missile goes to the target in dense layers of the atmosphere at a speed of about 20 machs. Author's note), I asked you to bring me a list of people who need to be noted and rewarded,” said the Russian leader. He noted that they brought him “several sheets where not people, but enterprises and research and design bureaus were marked in a neat font.” “The chief designer explained to me: this is our cooperation, without one there would be no other. That is, these are dozens of enterprises and thousands of workers!” - Putin said.

The goal of the design unit - department, bureau - is to bring the enterprise to a higher level of development, to design the latest equipment at the highest scientific and technical level, while strictly observing the requirements of Customers and technical standards.

The core of the design department consists of unique design engineers and technologists with extensive experience in high-tech fields of mechanical engineering and instrument making. In addition, the designer must have certain qualities, original and sometimes unique.
When solving a given problem, the designer can go in two ways:

• apply known standard solutions, generally accepted schemes;
• solve the problem creatively, strive to perform all design elements in a new, original way.

The predominance of creative abilities among designers is often caused not only by the amount of acquired knowledge and accumulated experience, but also by the peculiarities of their personality.

Such workers are especially valuable for developing technical specifications and in the initial stages of design or in cases where the task at hand requires an innovative, non-standard solution.

The lack of strong creative abilities does not mean that a designer cannot develop products. With knowledge of the typical structural elements of machines, standards and design methods, he can develop new equipment of medium complexity and work under the control of a more capable specialist. The bulk of a designer’s work cannot be called creative. The development of working documentation is painstaking work, in which the designers and performers are most valued. Accuracy and error-free execution are decisive factors in development.

In addition to the considered abilities, allowing one to evaluate business qualities and creative potential designer, there are a number of characteristics of a creative personality that influence the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the work performed.
The volume and quality of knowledge required by the designer are determined by his qualification characteristics and are divided into two groups. Knowledge is a system of concepts acquired by a person.

The first group includes general knowledge that is necessary for the design of any machines. This includes the entire complex of polytechnic knowledge that underlies the qualifications of an engineer: for example, strength of materials, theoretical mechanics, machine parts, metallurgy, etc.

The second group includes special knowledge associated with the specific operating conditions of the designed machine. This includes knowledge of the technological, design and operational features of the industry to which the new product belongs.

When designing machines and equipment for the gas industry, for example, it is necessary to know the technical techniques and devices for ensuring safety requirements for manufactured products; when designing aircraft- techniques for ensuring minimum weight and maximum reliability, etc. In addition, it is required to know the basic standard designs of the industry, characterizing the existing level of technology and directions promising development. This group of knowledge also includes knowledge of the specific capabilities of production producing a new product.

If the general knowledge of a design engineer is universal and can be used in any industry, then special knowledge is lost when moving to work in another industry and other design organizations. In this case, retraining of the designer is required to meet the new working conditions. However, at the same time, the specialist’s horizons expand, his capabilities multiply, and it becomes possible to solve problems in industries located in the border zone. This is what happened when creating a biogas plant. It was solved by a designer who had been designing poultry farms for some time. Working on the design of machinery and equipment for the gas industry, he easily fit into the design of a biogas plant, became a leader and brought a large installation to implementation at a livestock complex.

Design skills and abilities are based on knowledge and are formed in the process practical activities. Knowledge and understanding of their work, the correct methodology for performing it, allow the designer to acquire those personality qualities that lead to mastery and success. A skill is the ability, in the process of purposeful activity, to perform the particular actions that comprise it automatically, without special attention directed to them. Skill is a person’s ability to perform their work productively, with the proper quality and at the appropriate time.

The main direction of work of the design department is the development of technical solutions for prototypes through experimental design work (hereinafter referred to as R&D) for mechanical engineering, gas industry and other special purpose objects, preparation of industrial samples for production.

R&D is a project-based activity, as a result of which a new scientific and technical product appears in the form of a set of text and drawing documents characterizing a new object. This is the main, but not the only goal of such work, which will be discussed in more detail later.

Essentially, R&D represents a special type of investment activity in which the main costs are made, as a rule, within an enterprise (firm), where there are specialized divisions - design and research centers, bureaus, laboratories, etc. Moreover, the scale of these investments for leading firms can reach several percent of annual sales. Based on this, we include the development of the design of a certain object as R&D, including the design, manufacture and testing of a prototype (or samples). My personal experience was formed in the environment of two industries - mechanical engineering and the gas industry. I think that they are sufficiently representative in terms of the scale of development work for the generalizations that I made based on my experience and borrowed considerations.
I will consider my goal achieved if, as a result of studying the proposed material, someone becomes stronger in their aspirations, and someone thinks and doubts the correctness of their choice.

Having determined the general and intermediate goals of the OCD, we have also determined the actions that need to be performed to achieve these goals. And then we have to determine what these results and actions should be. In other words, after answering the question “What?” The questions immediately arise: “Which ones?” And How?".

The question “Which?”, or more precisely, “Which?”, refers to the most important result of R&D - to the object or product that we want to design. It must be quite specific, having very definite characteristics and features. In domestic R&D practice, it is customary to establish the characteristics and features of a product in a document called technical specifications (TOR). Similar documents exist in foreign practice.

• Who draws up this document and how and makes final decisions on its content in the form of approval?
• Where does the data needed to compile it come from?
• In what format is this document produced?

There is no universal uniformity here, although in some areas certain rules have been established. However general principles compilation and execution of this the most important document In domestic practice, OCRs exist and should be considered in detail.

As a rule, the draft technical specifications are developed by specialists from the development organization, i.e. the organization that will conduct the planned R&D. In order for this project to acquire the force of a directive, i.e. a binding document, it is approved by at least the head of this organization. Approval can also be practiced at a higher level - by the management of the company or a higher department. If there is a specific customer in the intended R&D project, joint approval can be practiced, both on his part and on the part of the developer.

A very important question is on whose initiative the draft technical specifications are being developed. At one time, GOST 15.001-73 “Development and production of products” came into force (it also had later editions). According to this standard, the only basis for developing a draft technical specification could be the availability technical requirements customer. Despite all the seeming logic of this rule - to develop only what someone really needs - it simply got by. Indeed, how was it possible to obtain technical requirements for any initiative development, for which it was not always initially clear who could be considered the customer? . Therefore, common sense suggests a number of reasonable grounds for preparing this project.

Firstly, the customer’s initiative is not excluded. This is especially true for design and development work on large or complex products. Often the developer of such large or complex products acts as a customer for smaller and simpler ones, which he intends to use as components to replace those that are available on the market, but he is not satisfied with them (sometimes such relationships also arise for materials with special properties). Thus, the developer of a new car or tractor model can issue technical requirements for the development of new engines, electrical or hydraulic equipment, wheels, tires, etc., if he has reason to consider such developments necessary.

The design organization, having received the customer's technical requirements, is obliged to carefully study them, first of all, in order to gain confidence in the correct understanding of its needs. However, the very content of these requirements is not subject to any criticism. The main focus is on the extent to which these requirements can be implemented within the developer's capabilities. Then the possibility of increasing the level of requirements without significantly increasing the cost of both the development itself and the subsequent production of the ordered object is explored. After this, the developer draws up a draft technical specification and coordinates it with the customer. Experts believe that competent technical specifications are more than 50% of success in solving a problem, and the time spent on preparing technical specifications is one of the best investment, which the company can do during the design period. As follows from the essence of the procedure for preparing a draft technical specification, the characteristics of the object contained in it cannot be worse than those proposed in the customer’s technical requirements. However, situations cannot be excluded when the customer’s wishes either cannot be realized at all using the existing level of technology, or the cost of development or production may be too high. This conflict forces us to begin working together with the customer to clarify his requirements. Here it is generally accepted that the contractor is obliged to understand the concerns and difficulties of the customer better than he himself. In any case, the draft technical specifications are the result of a compromise between the requirements of the parties, however, to achieve it, the developer must take a more flexible position.

Secondly, the technical specification may be the result of the initiative of the design organization itself. The sources of this initiative are quite diverse. New achievements in science and technology appear, including inventions that make it possible to develop and produce more advanced products. Operating experience of manufactured products indicates the need to eliminate certain shortcomings that were not noticed during development. Information has emerged that a competing company is preparing to produce new products that may be more attractive to the market. Finally, let us recall that among the motives for the formation of R&D goals may be the desire for more efficient production (reducing costs, increasing volumes).

It is clear that although in this case there seems to be no formal customer, the developers of the technical specifications must fully understand for whom and why the development work will be carried out. The initial information for such representations is the results marketing research, which any self-respecting company is obliged to conduct. Often the costs of such research are comparable to the costs of R&D themselves, but practice shows that this approach is the only correct one.
Now let’s look at what sources of information are involved in developing the draft technical specifications. There are no priorities here, and all possible sources should be used to the maximum.

Firstly, these are the already mentioned technical requirements of the customer, if any. Secondly, these are the results of research work of the company itself (if it has the appropriate structures), and specialized organizations, including laboratories of higher educational institutions and research institutes. Thirdly, this is a patent fund containing descriptions of inventions, including inventions made by employees of the company. Fourthly, these are the results of tests and studies of special experimental products, as well as manufactured products (both at the stages of pre-production and in operation). Fifthly, these are the mentioned results of marketing research, which is worth stopping at for a more detailed consideration.

Unlike the first four groups of sources, in which information is usually presented in the language of specific technical terms that is understandable to developers and manufacturers, the results of marketing research may contain information in terms of the user (buyer). It is often said that these are requirements at the household level. This should not be taken lightly, since the average user does not have to have the same training in understanding technical terminology as a specialist. Therefore, you should be able to translate the user’s desires into specific technical characteristics of the future product. The mechanisms of such translation have been developed and described in domestic and foreign literature. The most effective method is called “Quality Function Deployment” (structuring the quality function). Its main features are that the initial information contains the user’s requirements precisely at this everyday level, and also that during the procedure of translating these requirements into the language of technical terminology, one’s position is compared with the position of the closest competitors in the market of manufactured products (the one that one wants catch up or even overtake, and the one who is catching up with us). In addition, the process of obtaining information about user requirements can take the form of surveys organized with sufficient representativeness. Finally, this method allows you to organically move from technical characteristics of the future R&D facility to the technical requirements for materials and components on the one hand and for production technology on the other.

The preparation of technical specifications does not have general rules and is rather determined by the rules or traditions of the department or company. The document can be in plain text format. Design may be accepted according to the rules established for text documents consisting of design documentation according to the standards of the “Unified System of Design Documentation (ESKD)”, adopted in domestic practice. In this case, in any case, the document must contain the signatures of officials and specialists responsible for its preparation, coordination and approval.

Next comes a section that contains technical requirements, including the composition of the product (all its components are listed and, if necessary, the purpose of each is indicated) and requirements for the design of both the product as a whole and for each of its components separately. Let us look at the contents of this section (“Technical Requirements”) for a more detailed consideration.

First of all, specific, including quantitative, requirements for the action and characteristics of the product as a whole and its components. At the same time, the completeness of the enumeration and presentation of these requirements should be sufficient for a comprehensive presentation of the features and properties of the future product. Dimensional, mass, energy and other restrictions are indicated. If necessary, interaction with other products is specified.

The expected operating conditions for the product are described in detail below. The permissible level of vibration-impact loads on the product is indicated, as a rule, in units of “g” (for vibrations, indicating the frequency band, and for shock loads, indicating the duration of action), if necessary, along different axes of the product. The temperature range from the lowest negative to the highest positive temperatures is indicated both for the operation of the product and for its storage when not in use. The maximum permissible humidity and dust content of the air surrounding the product are specified. If necessary, conditions such as radiation effects (including direct solar radiation), the presence of chemically active substances in the ambient air, extreme values ​​of atmospheric pressure, possible biological effects (fungal microorganisms, insects, rodents), etc. are specified. For external power supply, the characteristics of the sources are indicated, For example, on the stability of voltages and frequencies of power supplies.
Test methods are specified for each of these impacts.

In addition, compliance criteria are established for them, on the basis of which it will be possible to subsequently decide whether the product is sufficiently resistant to these influences. As a rule, such criteria are taken to include the product’s preservation of the functions and characteristics specified in the previous paragraphs of the “Technical Requirements” section.
A mandatory part of this section is the requirements for product reliability. For different products, they can be formulated in different terms depending on the type of product, its purpose, customer requirements, etc. Terms such as life before major repairs or discarding, probability of failure-free operation for a given time, etc. can be used here. In this case, operating modes may be indicated under which these requirements must be met, for example, the relative duration of switching on, the permissible duration of extreme loading conditions or operation at extreme values ​​of operating conditions. Test methods to verify compliance with these requirements may be specified.

A special part is the safety requirements for people and the environment. As a rule, in this area there are national and international standards, requiring unconditional execution and violation of which may result in legal liability, ranging from financial to criminal. Therefore, when drawing up, agreeing and approving the technical specifications, complete compliance of the product with all such standards must be ensured by recording the relevant requirements. If necessary, methods for checking compliance are also specified.

IN last years Ergonomic requirements have become an integral part of many technical specifications. They arise where the use of the product must take into account the human factor when using the product, operating it or servicing it. Part of these requirements are the safety requirements for people mentioned above, but the goal of the developer and manufacturer should also be to give the product such properties and characteristics that it will not only be safe for health and life itself, but also convenient to use. This approach must eliminate the situation in which the product does not provide the expected results in operation precisely because it is inconvenient to operate or maintain. For products where the buyer and user most often coincide (the most clear example - a car), and not only for them, these requirements fall into the category of key ones. Some ergonomic requirements are included in safety standards, for example, requirements for visibility from the cabs of cars and tractors and requirements for the operation of external lighting devices.

Often ergonomic requirements are combined with aesthetic ones related to appearance product and (if the product has internal spaces - cabins, cabins, salons, etc.) to its interior (interiors). At the same time, aesthetic requirements are often written down in a very general form, but the presence of such requirements in the technical specifications at least instills confidence that specialists in artistic design - designers - will take part in the development of the product.

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the final stage of the life cycle of any product - disposal after the end of its service life. This refers to the requirements regarding the impact on environment those parts of the product that cannot be used for any other purpose and are subject to recycling or destruction. Therefore, the requirements include prohibitions on the use of materials or components that are associated with certain concerns in this regard.

The “Technical Requirements” section ends with paragraphs containing specific requirements, some of which are nevertheless present in each technical specification. These are the requirements for packaging and preservation for products for which an indefinite period of time may pass from the moment of release to the moment of use. The meaning of the requirements for transportation and storage is clear. And, probably, there is no need to explain that the implementation of these requirements is linked to the design of the product.

In domestic practice, it is customary to specify standardization and unification requirements for some products. They stipulate the extent to which the product uses both standard components and parts already used in previously developed products in production. In my opinion, the presence of such requirements, especially in terms of unification, is justified when developing modifications. When developing a new product, these requirements should not be introduced. The designers themselves will decide what they can use for it in the best way, without looking at the given percentages.
In some cases, specific requirements are introduced, such as requirements for the composition of a spare parts kit (spare parts, tools and accessories), requirements for the development of a special technological equipment such as stands for assembling, adjusting and testing parts of the product and the product as a whole, requirements for the development of educational and training aids for training, etc. It is clear that the presence of such requirements is determined by the very nature of the future product and the features of its application. Moreover, such requirements can be either part of the technical requirements for the product or displayed in separate sections.

In essence, such sections are no longer requirements for the product, but define requirements for the nature of the conduct of the development work itself. These include the composition of the R&D stages and the scheduled completion dates. Economic (price) restrictions are established on the production of the product. Having mentioned the deadlines for completing the stages of development work, we essentially moved from answering the question “Which?”, relating to the product, to answering the question “How?”, relating to the rules and limitations of conducting the development work itself. Indeed, by outlining the deadlines for the development, the head of the design organization or another person making a decision about it sets a time limit for obtaining the required result and thereby constitutes the main part of the R&D implementation plan. After all, it is clear that its results are not necessary at all, but at a very specific time, because the goals for which it begins must also be achieved without delay. So calendar plan implementation of OCD should be considered one of the main rules.

The following rule applies to the composition of OCD. It must provide for all its main components: release of a set of design documentation (CD), production of a sample (samples) of the product in pilot production, testing of components and the sample (s) as a whole, and adjustment of the design documentation based on the results of manufacturing and testing. However, one should keep in mind the goals of the R&D, which may make certain amendments to this list. Thus, when designing a unique piece product such as a heavy press or rolling mill, it is hardly worth planning the production preliminary sample. And if a product is being developed as an experimental product, it is unlikely that the design documentation will be adjusted based on the results of its testing or research, unless it turns out that the product simply does not work and needs to be remade.
Now let's look at some rules for performing the components (stages) of OCD. As for the release of design documents, there are rules for completeness and design, which are mainly based on the already mentioned ESKD. At the same time, enterprises may have their own rules and regulations in the form of standards. They can relate to many features, ranging from dimensional designations and tolerances and technological instructions to restrictions on the use of materials, standardized or normalized products. Purely proprietary rules for the production of drawings and text documents on paper or by computer technology design.

Based on the content of the CD itself, it is difficult to indicate any general rules. Nevertheless, it is worth paying attention to an important trend in modern production, which manifests itself in the fact that the high quality of the future product is laid down already during its design. And here we are not talking about the fact that the design must be sufficiently qualified and error-free - this is implied by itself (and is guaranteed in many ways, for example, by carefully fine-tuning the design of the product and testing the technology before starting its production). This means that the design of the product is such that it ensures minimal damage from possible errors in production or use. This approach provides the product with a feature that in Russian translation can be called “foolproof” (in English “foolproof”). Examples of this approach can be design solutions that exclude incorrect assembly or failure of the product if the DC power supply polarity is not observed.

Finally, speaking about testing samples, we immediately note the obvious variety of goals, methods and means. It is clear that aircraft testing has little in common with sample testing household electrical appliance. At the same time, each and every test has one common feature - they should be as exhaustive as possible. This means that as a result of the tests carried out, all answers to all questions must be obtained. The general and mandatory rule is that each test begins with the development of a program-method, is carried out in strict accordance with it and ends with a reporting document with conclusions containing unambiguous answers to all questions posed and recommendations for further work, including adjusting design documentation for products intended for production.

Second general rule- tests must have a clear purpose. It is she who determines the content of the program-method. For product samples intended for production, first of all, the compliance of the sample with the requirements recorded in the technical specifications must be checked. In this case, design flaws that cause non-compliance with these requirements must be identified.

In a number of cases, the goal arises of obtaining experimental data in order to enter into the working, technological or operational documentation information that cannot be obtained preliminary calculation with sufficient reliability. These, for example, may include the diameters of throttle holes in hydraulic or pneumatic systems, the stiffness of some springs, resistance and capacitance in electrical circuits, and the position of the adjusting elements of some mechanisms. To obtain this data, special tests are organized (note that they are mainly carried out on component parts of products, although situations in which entire products have to be tested cannot be excluded). Subsequently, on the basis of such tests, control and acceptance tests can be introduced into the product production technology in order to correct settings a product or its component, both through adjustments and through replaceable elements (nozzles, thermal compensating packages of bimetallic plates, springs, resistors, capacitors, etc.).

The third general rule is that tests must produce reliable results. This is also ensured by the program-methodology through the testing conditions, the means used for collecting and processing the information obtained during testing, as well as the stipulated scope of testing.

Finally, test results must be documented in the form of a report, act or protocol. They must contain answers to the questions contained in the test program and methodology, including the compliance of the tested object with the requirements imposed on it.

Planning, or rather, the entire organization of R&D may be accompanied by some particular restrictions. They may relate to the content of the technical specifications and the order of implementation of the stages of development work. Only a few examples can be shown here. Thus, when developing modifications of a manufactured product, they strive to minimize the number of changes to the base model. When developing a new product, they strive not only to use parts and assemblies of the previous model, but also, if possible, to ensure the so-called technological continuity, in which the same technological processes and equipment. This especially applies to its expensive types.

Of course, everything said above does not exhaust all the features of drawing up technical specifications and organizing design and development work. Only then can one expect to receive the planned result. Technical specification requirements are usually written in the form of restrictions using the terms “no more” or “no less.” Compliance with these restrictions is considered unconditional, but at the same time it is by no means prohibited and any overfulfillment should even be encouraged if it is not achieved at the expense of other requirements.

The head of the R&D department must ensure such harmony in the relations of the design service with the management of the company, and, on his instructions, in relations with the outside world.

Creation new technology- the path is long and laborious. Not a single idea finds application immediately, as this is caused by the complexity of the structure of the new technology and its operation. The creation of new technology requires an integrated approach. The main stages of the creation and development of new technology are as follows: 1) scientific discovery; 2) laboratory research, 3) development of production samples; 4) use in production conditions; 5) widespread use in one industry; 6) application in different industries. Dozens of enterprises sometimes participate in the creation.

Design and construction serve one purpose: the development of a new product that does not exist or exists in a different form and has different dimensions. Design and construction are types of mental activity when a specific mental image is created in the developer’s mind. The mental image is subjected to thought experiments involving rearranging its constituent parts or replacing them with other elements. At the same time, the effect of the changes made is assessed, and it is determined how these changes could affect the final result. The mental image is created in accordance with the general rules of design and construction and subsequently takes on its final, technically sound form.

The role of technical information

The product under development contains many technical solutions that form the structure of its units, mechanisms, parts or their elements. Some of these units, mechanisms and parts have well-known devices and standard sizes, which are reflected in the relevant standards, standard projects, albums of introduced products, etc. Well-known is a relative concept, largely dependent on the level of knowledge and qualifications of the developers. The well-known technical solutions lie in the fact that they are used in practical work. This is largely facilitated by information sources - textbooks and designer reference books, which widely disseminate this information at all levels of development. type of resource support for design developments is informational.

The rapid development of science and technology has caused a rapid growth in the volume of scientific and technical information. Scientists have determined that the amount of information doubles within seven years. This is due to the fact that new series of information materials relating to new areas of technology are constantly being released. The types of magazines, technical and economic information, express information and fact sheets published are constantly increasing. Currently the total number information documents in our country there are more than 10 million copies. How to study the ever-increasing volume of scientific and technical information, especially when the information is studied by developers who do not have much experience, young specialists? The desire to master all previous information does not produce results. Information is studied on current specific issues, ranging from the latest developments to retrospective information. This is how knowledge constantly expands and deepens. The results of information search provide constructive continuity and contribute to development.

However, there are technical solutions that are known to very few developers. These are, first of all, solutions related to specific products; information about them is published in specialized literature intended for a narrow circle of specialists. Newly appeared information can also be classified as little-known, since it is not widely disseminated. The lack of knowledge of specific information in certain developer circles may be subjective. The reason is that these developers do not have the habit of studying technical information. No matter how high the qualifications of managers and performers, at all stages of planning and implementation of R&D, they cannot make do with the information that is already contained in their heads, work notes or on computer disks. You always need the latest and most complete information.

The role of technical information in new developments is enormous. Studying the history of the development of any branch of mechanical engineering, one can discover a huge variety of tried and tested schemes and design solutions. Many of them, disappeared and thoroughly forgotten, are revived after decades on a new technical basis and again give a start to life. Studying history makes it possible to avoid mistakes and repetition of past stages and at the same time outline the prospects for the development of machines. The first direction is associated with the constant supply of managers and performers with information about the state of scientific and technical achievements in their own and related branches of technology. Equally important is information about current regulatory documents such as legislative acts, international and national standards, etc. Information is needed about materials and components available on the market or being prepared for development. Finally, not a single designer works without reference books and teaching aids.

Regular and complete supply of such information is usually entrusted to a special service within the design organization. This service includes a library (scientific, technical, educational and methodological and reference literature, official publications of national and international legislative and regulatory documents, periodicals), an archive (originals and working copies of previously issued design documentation, reporting documents on the results of tests and research, internal regulatory documents) and a group of specialists whose responsibilities include regular review new receipts and notification of managers and performers about the content of information in them that may be of some interest. These specialists may also be tasked with regularly compiling reviews, including on narrow, specialized issues. Another direction is a targeted search for information on a specific topic. This is especially typical for the case of R&D planning for the development of a product that is fundamentally new for a company or design department. In this case, the manager may assign such a search to information service specialists with the involvement of other competent employees. An order for such a search, often with an analytical review and recommendations, from a competent research organization cannot be ruled out.

The developer creatively processes information and technical solutions available in his arsenal or borrowed from technical literature, adapting them to specific conditions. If you analyze the structure of the developed product, you can see that there are very few or no significantly new solutions in it. This can be explained by the fact that designers, setting themselves the goal of developing and raising the level of equipment in the industry, are engaged in solving the same problems at many enterprises. The same constructive decisions are repeated every day. Despite the wide range of technical information on various technical and manufacturing issues, it is sometimes easier to develop a new product than to ensure that one already exists somewhere.

IN general structure Patent information occupies an important place in information flows. Patent information is a set of information about the results of scientific and technical activities contained in descriptions attached to applications for inventions or to documents of protection (inventor's certificates and patents). Information contained in patents? - this is the practice of future technology. Patent information is widely used in the development of new technology. At the same time, it should be noted that new patent information is born, as a rule, in developments as a creative, unconventional approach to solving a given problem. The main source of inventions is experimental work and laboratory research. Patent information plays a crucial role in the initial stages of development, in particular in the development of technical specifications. It makes it possible to introduce the newest, most progressive achievements of science and technology into developments.

The search for analogues is carried out using all categories that are considered suitable for the created object. Particular attention should be paid to the so-called prototypes, by which we mean analogues that are closest in their characteristics to the created object.

Patent documentation is the most complete and systematized collection of information about scientific and technical solutions created by humanity over the past 150-200 years. An analysis of patent information should precede each new development. Patent search is a type of information search and allows not only to solve the problems of information search, but also to check the product for competitiveness and patent purity.
Completion of the research and development work with a full-fledged patent search guarantees both the unhindered implementation of its result and its protection from illegal use by competitors. Every designer in any position should know this.

A design engineer, among other things, primarily needs knowledge and information about standard and standard designs, standard products and materials in his work. A great variety of them have been developed in various industries; there are catalogs, collections, etc. on them. The most advanced design experience is widely represented in them. Standard designs incorporate all the necessary qualities, they are technologically advanced to manufacture, have minimal metal consumption, and have stood the test of time.

The organization of centralized production of standardized products at specialized factories makes it possible to relieve machine-building plants and facilitate the supply of repair enterprises and services. On the basis of unification and standardization, a series of derivative machines of the same purpose, but with different indicators of power, productivity, etc., or machines for various purposes, performing qualitatively different operations and designed to produce different products, are created.

It is advisable to use them in your developments; you should strive for this. Naturally, the use of standard designs and products imposes some kind of framework and restrictions on the overall design, but your desire to use them, maybe even partially, will ultimately be justified and appreciated.

Knowledge and information about standard products and materials, the centralized production of which has been mastered at specialized factories, is required.

What are these products? In mechanical engineering these are shafts, gears, wheels, sprockets, fasteners, gearboxes, electric motors, etc. IN metal structures- this is rolled steel, fasteners, material reflected in the so-called construction series. The main thing is to study standard products, typical components thoroughly and deeply, study recommendations for their use, without neglecting the little things.

A part is a product made from a material that is homogeneous by name and brand without the use of assembly operations. The details include: a roller made of one piece of material, a cast body; bimetallic sheet plate; printed circuit board, etc. The part can be manufactured using local welding, soldering, gluing, stitching, etc. (tube soldered or welded from one piece of sheet material, box glued from one piece of cardboard) and have a protective or decorative coating.

On information support you can't save money. Wrong decisions and delays caused by incomplete information will be more costly. However, there is also a certain danger of excess information with which you can overwhelm employees. And the sources of this information themselves are so numerous today that it is often difficult to figure out what is worth watching and what can be skipped. Sometimes it is simply unknown where to look for the necessary information if it is not possible to use computer databases for this.

Type of support - scientific support for R&D. Unlike previous types of collateral, which are mainly based on own strength firms, the rule here is to involve specialized research organizations or higher educational institutions. Only very large companies allow themselves to have their own research centers.
It was once believed that the beginning of R&D in itself meant the previous conduct of scientific research work sufficient for the successful development of new objects. At one time, the State Committee for Science and Technology of the USSR, when drawing up programs with the title “Create and master in production... (followed by the name of the object),” in a set of standard stages allowed stage I1 (and there could be up to I17 in total), which was called “ Conduct research work and issue technical specifications for development.” That is, where the designers began to work, scientists seem to have nothing else to do.

In reality, everything is far from being like that. Even if the development work is in the nature of a limited modernization, new materials and components with new properties are still used, some components contain original technical solutions, and new customer or legislative requirements have to be taken into account. And the question naturally arises - to what extent the previously used methods of calculation, design and testing are suitable for the changed conditions. And even if it is not set, scientists, on their own initiative, are constantly developing and proposing more and more advanced methods, which a reasonable R&D leader has no right to ignore.

Therefore, such a leader provides for continued cooperation with scientists during the development work - scientific support for the development work. Its subject may be the development of more advanced methods for calculating strength, stability, reliability, etc. and participation in these calculations. The same applies to test methods, especially if a new product will have to check the degree of fulfillment of requirements that designers are encountering for the first time. A similar situation arises when new qualities are expected in a new product that have not previously been assessed. So, at one time we had to seriously engage in a methodology that would make it possible, in fairly short-term tests, to reliably assess the increase in tractor productivity due to the automation of the control of some of its mechanisms.

Often during testing of samples, unexplained deviations of the characteristics of an object from the expected values ​​or simply from the norm, including safety standards, arise. Examples of such situations abound in aircraft testing - it is enough to recall such phenomena as shimmy of the front wheel of a three-wheeled landing gear or flutter. This could not be done without scientists, who over and over again found the causes of such situations and indicated ways to combat them (by the way, from the work of M.V. Keldysh on shimmy, a chain of research began, the results of which today guarantee the stability of cars).

As a rule, each design organization works with an almost constant range of research organizations or educational institutions. This circle is formed according to tradition, including taking into account geographical proximity. Yes, in almost every city former USSR, where there is a tractor plant, there is also a large educational institute that trains specialists in tractor construction (Minsk, Kharkov, Chelyabinsk, Vladimir, Volgograd, etc.). Of course, many graduates of these institutes work in the design organizations of these plants, including among the managers. It is clear that there is a natural basis for cooperation here, including in the form of problem laboratories for tractor construction within these institutes. And foreign, especially large companies, try to maintain contacts with nearby universities and the scientists working in them. Every design organization has a regulatory control service. Its representative signs each document included in the design agreement. This signature means that this document does not contain any violations of current standards and rules relating to design, the choice of values ​​​​of certain dimensions or their permissible deviations, the purpose of materials or types of processing, etc. At one time they acted on this matter State standards USSR (GOST), and in the text of each there was the phrase: “Failure to comply with the standard is punishable by law.” Now in this regard, the legislation is softer, and only standards of safety, ecology and other socially significant areas remain mandatory. However, this does not mean that each designer or each organization has the right to establish their own rules, for example, on the design of drawings. Such drawings may simply not be understood elsewhere, therefore, by default, the ESKD is recognized as valid and all our designers continue to work within its framework. GOSTs are recognized in the same way on materials, their properties and designations, which makes it possible for manufacturers and consumers to speak the same language.

The so-called standards of an enterprise (factory, company, etc.) stand out somewhat especially here. They are mandatory for use and generally have the form of some restrictions. Thus, from the number of possible designs of such a mass fastener as a nut, the choice of types, thread and height dimensions, materials, coatings, etc. is limited. This is done in order to reduce the range of purchased products, materials, special tools, technologies, etc. Often such standards are called normals. This is an element of design quality control. However, deeper and more extensive standardization objects in the enterprise have a significant impact.

As an example of managing the design process, creating conditions for the creation of high-quality scientific and technical products, it seems to me that the extensive experience of the team of the NPO "Technolog" in Tashkent can be useful. Unlike many organizations, the approach to the quality of scientific and technical products, which was limited to the creation of a standard control service, in this organization a standardization system was created, which took control of the main areas of activity of the design and technological organization. Along with standards for individual elements, system standards of the organization were created and implemented. Also, along with the standards that were adopted on the initiative “from above”, a whole series of standards were adopted that came on the initiative “from below”. Normalization also affected the information sector; a constantly growing bank of information, a system for encoding incoming information, and a system for searching it in the created bank were created. The standardization system was positively accepted by the entire team; it streamlined and facilitated the work of designers and other services. On its basis, a fund of standard working documentation was created, constantly replenished and maintained in reliability, with which projects were completed as necessary. In percentage terms, standard working documentation in projects for modular machines was up to 70%, for machine tools up to 80%.

This allowed the technology departments and the procurement department to streamline their work. Standard products such as fasteners, bearings, springs, and electric motors were completely standardized. Group working drawings were developed for fasteners and springs. For the rest of the variety of standard products, standard drawings were made, filled out by the designer according to the developed methodology. Albums and catalogs were published for all this variety of standardization objects, which were updated annually. I have never seen such a system in any production. Who else, if not future engineers, should learn this experience and implement it everywhere, first at the workplace, in the department, then at the enterprise, using new design automation programs. Such systems do not age, they only develop and improve, they are the fruit of the broad horizons of proactive workers.

The Stan Uz team went even further; along with the above, its stock contained all the used spindle units, boring and milling heads, parts of aggregate machines, all welded frames, hydraulic cylinders of the original design, and hydraulic stations.

In the 70s in Uzbekistan, the Stan Uz enterprise established the design and manufacture of aggregate machines for equipping agricultural machine-building complex. Mass production agricultural machinery, which was gaining momentum, increasingly required automation of the metalworking process. Aggregate machines At first they took over individual operations, and soon became an integral part of aggregate modules and automated lines. This required intensifying design work and the work of new production. The issue of developing standardized units and parts of modular machine tools and organizing their small-scale production came up naturally. The basis was the components and parts already mastered in other industries; they had to be introduced into the designs of the machines being developed and into production. Despite the apparent simplicity of the task, it turned out to be quite complex. Initially, enterprise standards for the most commonly used components and parts were developed.

After lengthy development and approvals with design department the standards were implemented through the development of standard working design documentation. They were successfully tested by production, gradually got used to them and appreciated all the services. All this time, the author of the development of standards was constantly close to designers and technologists, jointly solving numerous issues. Even obstacles such as an oil flash while carrying out heat treatment milling spindle or thermal change in configuration during welding of body products did not affect the final result, but only became a factor in the more scrupulous development of the company’s standards. But, in spite of everything, the designers were the first to feel the power of the proven unified units, the convenience and the need for further work in this direction. Manufacturers were given the opportunity to work against future orders, and standardized units appeared in the workshop warehouse of finished products. Design experience has shown that the most labor-intensive and metal-intensive frames can be unified. We have developed welded frames with subsequent artificial aging. The result is a fairly wide range of welded products with a large volume of welding and heat treatment, which the welding shop must master. After mastering the workshop, it began working at an intermediate warehouse, handing over finished products. It was nice to see how the free areas of the workshop were filled with ready-made beds.

The next object of unification was the hydraulics of aggregate machines. Initially, a range of hydraulic cylinders of a completely new design was developed, taking into account the level of production. Based on the use of conventional automation devices, a standard hydraulic station was developed. The hydraulic station was created without a hydraulic panel, but with original unified blocks with electrohydraulic control devices based on plates for butt mounting of pressure control valves, flow regulators and electromagnetic distributors, selected depending on the hydraulic circuit. Mounting plates are a convenient means of assembling multiple hydraulic system components in one place. They provide a compact design, fewer leaks, simple maintenance, a reduction in assembly and installation costs from 30% to 50%, and it is possible to install monitoring devices as close as possible to the equipment. Numerous hydraulic pipelines disappeared, and the operation and readjustment of the hydraulic system became convenient. The most labor-intensive components of the hydraulic station immediately appeared in the warehouse. As a result of the work carried out, a significant base of high-quality unified working units and parts appeared, with working design and technological documentation mastered production. This greatly reduced the time required to develop new equipment and manufacture it, and made it possible to re-adjust the equipment during operation. All developments were elevated to the rank of enterprise standards and standard working drawings were developed on them, which were used to complete the projects of modular machine tools. The rest - power and rotary tables - were purchased from other enterprises. Being in the midst of all these events, sometimes in disputes and discussions I could not appreciate the full usefulness and prospects of the work done, although my senior comrades often told me about this. But it was obvious that our work was highly valued by all the designers. Of course, this greatly simplified their work, gave them the opportunity to invest more in the main part of the development, to focus on the main thing.

In the creation examples mentioned above regulatory frameworks on standard products, which made it possible to establish quality management for the production of critical products, together with many less voluminous standards, there was a noticeable positive impact on the streamlining of design activities.

At the moment, enterprises have implemented and widely used a document management system left over from the times of the USSR. The scheme for accounting, storage and circulation of design documents at the enterprise is being implemented in accordance with current standards.

Unfortunately, as a rule, in the process of preparing the production of a new product and even during the production of a long-mastered product, the need arises to make changes to the current design documentation. Without touching on the reasons for this phenomenon, we will only say that these actions can only be carried out with the knowledge, consent and hands of the design organization. Special documents - changes - are drawn up, and in accordance with them, the necessary corrections are made to certain drawings or text documents. And here you need to make sure that these corrections get into all copies of documents located in different places (often, instead of correcting the old one, they issue a new document, which needs to replace all copies of the old one). To do this, you need to strictly copy finished projects, also strictly register copies, keep records of all documents sent throughout the company and outside it, and strictly follow the procedure for correction or replacement, not allowing an uncorrected or outdated document to remain anywhere. This work is carried out under the supervision of the chief engineer of the enterprise.
The other side of the responsibility of pilot production in the person of its technologists is timely preliminary estimate manufacturability of the developed design, which means, first of all, the ability to organize the production of a new product with minimal costs for replacing equipment and technologies. Then the complexity and labor intensity of manufacturing a new product should be assessed, including in comparison with the one being produced, if any. All this is necessary so that designers know in advance what may cause displeasure among technologists and managers of the main production and what compromises need to be accepted immediately or prepared in reserve.

Finally, the testing service also has unobvious duties (and responsibilities). In addition to conducting tests of objects and their components and supporting tests in the outside world (at the customer or in specialized organizations), which has its own rules and traditions, this service has the responsibility to promptly detect obvious or hidden defects in the product and give designers reasonable recommendations on how to eliminate them . To do this, service specialists are required to familiarize themselves with the design of the product at the drawing stage and achieve a complete understanding of its structure and principles of operation. It is often even said that a good tester knows the operation of a product better than the designer.

In conclusion, I will dwell on one more type of responsibility - for metrological support of R&D. I will not hide that the presence of the word “provision” here made me choose whether to describe this type in the previous section. However, the term “responsibility” seemed more significant to me.

This responsibility rests with the specialist acting as the chief metrologist of the organization or division and his employees. The meaning of metrological support is to ensure the uniformity of measurements in design documentation, in pilot production and during testing. It is probably not worth going into detail about this problem here. I will only note that chief metrologist works on the basis of current regulatory documents, including enterprise standards, and its instructions are mandatory for all employees.

But in essence, the chief metrologist is responsible for ensuring that his instructions are correct and carried out. In addition, his responsibilities include monitoring the timely verification of existing measuring instruments and certification of newly used ones.

The main conclusion that the reader should make after reading the article is that the success of any activity, including R&D, depends on the extent to which all its components are covered by the responsibility of competent and authoritative employees who know how to be responsible for the assigned work. Studying the history of the development of any branch of mechanical engineering, one can discover a huge variety of tried and tested schemes and design solutions. Many of them, disappeared and thoroughly forgotten, are revived after decades on a new technical basis and again give a start to life. Studying history makes it possible to avoid mistakes and repetition of past stages and at the same time outline the prospects for the development of machines.

Personnel turnover refers to the totality of dismissals of specialists in at will or for absenteeism and other violations of labor discipline.

The staff turnover rate is the ratio of the number of dismissed specialists of an enterprise who left during a given period for reasons of turnover to the average number of employees for the same period.

Natural turnover (3-5% per year) contributes to the timely renewal of the team and does not require special measures from management and personnel management. Excessive staff turnover can significantly complicate organizational and technological difficulties and, accordingly, lead to economic losses.

After analyzing staff turnover, we identified the main reasons for the departure of specialists:

Not competitive salary

Unfair pay structure

Table 2. Analysis of staff turnover rate.

If for industrial personnel less important is the need for self-realization and the emergence of initiative, then for the specialists of the unit in question, the opportunity to work independently creatively to solve assigned tasks, show initiative and prospects for career growth are very significant. Based on the above and taking into account that the specialists in question with a high level of education (90% have higher education) I propose part of the salary (transfer the constant part of the salary into a conditionally constant one using the development of a labor specificity coefficient) Job titles and salaries established on their basis, as a rule, reflect the level of education and experience of the specialist; the application of the salary range is, to some extent, a subjective decision of the manager. Therefore, when choosing criteria for calculating the specificity coefficient, in order to avoid duplication for the same indicators twice, we do not take into account experience and education.

2.1 Development of a point-factor scale.

Let's define the factors, then set their weight. In our version, we use the same number of levels, for example 5. We accept the maximum number of points as 300. In order to determine the maximum number for a given factor, we simply multiply 300 points by the weight of this factor and get the maximum number of points in Table 4. Next, we set the intervals on the level scale .

Introduction

To improve the activities of the enterprise, and then implement information system It is necessary to analyze how the enterprise currently operates. For analysis, it is necessary to know not only how the enterprise as a whole operates, how it interacts with external organizations, customers and suppliers, but also how activities are organized at each workplace. Therefore, it is necessary to collect the knowledge of many in one place - to create a model of the enterprise’s activities. In our RGR we will develop a model using the SADT methodology. Based on SADT, the business process modeling standard IDEF0 was adopted. BPwin is a tool that fully supports the IDEF0 standard.

The main idea of ​​the SADT methodology is the construction of a hierarchical model of the enterprise. First, the functionality of the enterprise is described in general, without details. This description is called a context diagram. Interaction with the outside world is described in terms of input, output, control and mechanism.

IDEF0 diagrams are designed to describe business processes in an enterprise; they allow you to understand what objects or information serve as raw materials for processes, what results the work produces, what are the controlling factors and what resources are needed for this. IDEF0 notation allows you to identify formal shortcomings in business processes, which greatly facilitates the analysis of enterprise activities.

To describe the logic of interaction of information flows, IDEF3, also called modeling notation, is more suitable, using a graphical description of information flows, relationships between information processing processes and objects that are part of these processes.

The purpose of calculation and graphic work is to consolidate theoretical knowledge and acquire practical skills in constructing diagrams for describing business processes in the IDEFO and IDEF3 standards.

The object of the study is the activities of the Chief Designer Service of JSC KumAPP.

1. Organizational structure Chief Designer Services

Structure organizational management SGK: linear-functional - provides for the creation at the main links linear structure functional units. Their main role is the preparation of draft design documentation, which comes into force after approval by the relevant line managers. Along with line managers (Chief Designer, Deputy Chief Designer), there are heads of functional departments (RSEO department, systems department, fuselage department, 3D modeling, technical documentation department, reproduction department technical documentation), preparing design documentation projects, plans, reports, which become official documents after signing by line managers.

Staff structure SGK:

Fig. 1 - Schedule for launching design documentation

3. Analysis of the shortcomings of the SGC

Analyzing the tasks of some departments, we came to the conclusion that in the existing management structure of SGC there is no principle of division of labor, namely: the design engineer performs the functions of both a dispatcher and a courier, instead of being engaged in direct responsibilities. There is a large staff of designers, but there are no couriers at all. It is more profitable to hire 2-3 couriers and reduce the number of designers.

There is also a duplication of management functions: you can work directly with department heads without contacting them through your deputies.

Conclusion: abolish the deputy link, thereby optimizing management costs.

Conclusion

In our RGR, using the example of the activities of the Chief Designer service, we examined the problems solved by the functional modeling method IDEF0, IDEF3. We have studied the basic concepts of the IDEF0 methodology:

Structural approach

Functional model

SADT/IDEFO methodology

Function block

Interface arc

Decomposition, etc.

We also divided the activities of the SGC into functional subsystems, which in turn were divided into subfunctions, and subfunctions into tasks. Thus, in the form of visual diagrams, we analyzed the activities of the SGC. We identified dysfunctions in the system and drew conclusions.
