Article 15. Professional rights of the Production and Management Engineer
1. A Production and Management Engineer is the engineer who deals with technical problems related to the production of products and services, facilities, equipment, tools, mechanisms, machines, including technical issues related to heating, cooling, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing, as well as with technical problems related to the production, transmission, distribution and use of energy in thermal, electrical, or mechanical form. He/she deals with aspects of the above related to the research, design, study, construction, safe operation, administration, and economics thereof. The academic subject of the Production and Management Engineer includes:
(1) Planning, optimization and management of industrial production and supplies (logistics):
analysis and optimization of physical and administrative processes of production, storage, transport, and quality control of goods while ensuring the sustainability of industrial systems, the safety and health conditions of workers, environmental protection, productivity and economic efficiency.
(2) Construction of all types of mechanical installations, machines, and mechanisms: technical and economic design of mechanical structures and materials so that they can safely receive all types of loads on them (static, dynamic, seismic, thermal, impact), analysis of properties and optimization of material selection in every mechanical construction with the aim of the safety and economy of these constructions, the application of automatic control systems and robotics in mechanical constructions and facilities and the design of industrial processing systems.
(3) Energy engineering and analysis of machines, units and installations for energy conversion and transfer, heating, cooling, air conditioning: solving technical problems related to the production, transfer and use of energy in its thermal, mechanical, or nuclear form, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, environmentally friendly and efficient design and analytical calculation of all kinds of loads (static, dynamic, seismic, thermal, impact) on units and facilities for their safe construction and economical and environmentally friendly operation while ensuring hygienic conditions, ergonomic design/operation and comfort.
