The role and conception of plant engineer have been changing dynamically over years due to the changing technologies and business models. Plant engineers have an intermixed responsibilities in industries like Planning, Production Sequence, Effort Optimization, Advisory capacity and many more areas that yield an efficient, low cost and higher profitable products in an industry.
This course is structured in such a way to provide detailed note for students about plant engineers, their roles and responsibilities in industries, organization structures, legal responsibilities etc.
After completion of this course, students will have a clear idea about plant engineering functions, plant location, layout, industrial buildings, maintenance & repairs and electricity.
