responsibility

[FABRI67]

Good morning to all,
provided that during the past year the company I worked for failed, and with some former colleagues we did a company to do maintenance on machines built by the failed; now we propose to build new machines similar to the previous ones, or however applicable in the field.
I have taken care of in the past of drawings and production, we had an internal ing; I have now addressed an external office, but I have not understood what you mean by project manager.
I do not understand whether specific training is required, for example a very precise study title, or as usual "depends".
in the old company the norms were not well followed, but being involved in the first person I would like to begin to address things in the right direction.
thanks in advance to all.
Have a good day.

There is no rule on project manager or technical office.
responsibilities must be written in the employment contract or in some other written form.
training? depends on what you want to do. if you need a designer you will take a designer, better if he knows the rules too!
For the purposes of the machinery directive, however, it is the manufacturer who responds!

Thank you gerod for your answer.
A technical office that has proposed, told me about this project manager thing.
having never used the rules well I feel unprepared, and having to choose how to set things up I would like to understand better.
I try to download the machine directive and see if I understand.
Say hi.

Hello Fabri67,
the project manager, or project manager, or in English "project leader" is responsible for the development of the project, that is what draws the technical lines of the different design aspects, possibly multidisciplinary.
as gerod says, there is no legislation in this regard, because the project manager is an organizational figure that does not respond to the law, but only to the company. his responsibilities are contained in the contract.
to understand, if I have a flange with four holes designed by the pippo and a counterflangia with five holes designed by pluto, the two cannot be mounted together. Who's the fault? if pippo and pluto do not have the visibility of the whole project, as often and correctly happens, the responsibility must be of the project manager.

for particularly complex projects, the figure of the manager falls into two or "project leader" and "project manager". the first deals with the technical/organization supervision of the entire project, and the second of the administrative one, i.e. timing, payments, progress states, certificates, etc.

the terms used above are present in literature under the topic "business organization".

nothing else is the responsibility of law. if someone hurts with a poorly designed machine, the first to be pinched and to answer is the manufacturer, obligatoryly reported both on the declaration of conformity, and on the marking c.
then, if there are other responsibilities, it will be the magistrate to decide.

I hope I was exhaustive. . .

exhaustive!!! !
in the directive you will find only the manufacturer and/or its representative.
