How to prevent engineers' turnover at the plant

Perception mapping #

Collect perceptions on "What should be done to prevent engineers turnover at the plant?"

Use PMap tool

The process:

  1. Collect perceptions - ideas that should prevent or reduce the turnover of good engineers at the plant
  2. Find connections (relations) between the perceptions using the operator "LEADS TO"
  3. Find and mark contradicting perceptions
  4. Analyze the map and calculate the blocking ranking - it is done automatically by the platform
  5. Conclude - describe the main blockers that should be removed first to allow the implementation of the rest of the perceptions

Totaly 12 perceptions were generated for avoiding or, at least reducing, turnover of good engineers at the plant

The main purpose of the PMap investigation was to define the main blockers - perceptions that may block or resist the effects of the rest of the perceptions.


The main blocker is the perception that received the highest score:

RECOGNISE ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS

Med rank - two perceptions:

SUPPORT THEIR IDEAS IF AGREED

ALLOW TO RUN AND MANAGE PROJECTS


All these tree perceptions are blocking the effectiveness of the rest of the perceptions. These three blockers should be removed first.

Actually, all tree blocking perceptions are related one to another and their meaning is that engineers are satisfied when they can act as engineers and their engineering success is recognized.

In response to the potential outbreak of a third world war and the risk of Egypt becoming isolated from global trade and financial systems, this project aims to develop a self-sustaining, decentralized digital ecosystem. The goal is to ensure economic stability, resource accessibility, and secure communication for citizens, businesses, and the government in times of crisis. This solution will be delivered as an application-based platform that integrates barter trade, digital currency, AI-driven supply chain management, emergency communication, and cybersecurity measures. By leveraging blockchain technology, AI-powered logistics, and decentralized networking, the platform will enable uninterrupted trade, resource distribution, and crisis coordination without reliance on external financial institutions or internet-based infrastructure.

The integration of CFRP materials into automotive designs presents challenges related to compatibility, performance, and safety, necessitating a careful transition from a Chromolly tubular space frame to a CFRP monocoque. Key considerations include determining the optimal geometry for suspension, aerodynamic features, and the placement of components like the battery pack and sensors, all while adhering to FSAE safety protocols. Additionally, decisions regarding the production method—whether to use preimpregnated carbon fibers or an injection method—must be made early to facilitate timely production. The development process involves creating molds and plugs from suitable materials, ensuring that all assemblies can be connected without compromising structural integrity, and maintaining strict adherence to budget constraints and sourcing of materials.
