There are two kinds of PM in manufacturing industry, one belongs to the business department, and one belongs to the engineering or R&D department.
Project managers in the business department favor customer service order management and development, time control. Payment return. Internal drive, etc.
Project managers in engineering focus on new product development, results management, time management, cost management. This involves building teams, assigning tasks, tracking results, solving problems, evaluating risks, and getting to market on time. There are also patents, regulations, customers, and third-party factory inspections. The development process is mainly divided into conceptualization, project initiation, prototyping, and customer confirmation. Trial production is also divided into hand-board, small batch, large batch, mass production ramp and other specific processes.
SQE is Supplier Quality Engineer. From the literal understanding of engineers and project managers can not be compared, no longer a level. There are also two types of SQEs, development SQEs, and maintenance and improvement SQEs. most of the domestic SQEs are improvement and maintenance, high-end research and development is still abroad.
To say **** the same point: I think they are doing things. The difference is that the project manager focuses on assigning tasks, that is, to let the right people at the right time to complete the necessary things.SQE is not so complicated. As long as the supplier quality down to earth on the line.
