Hi everyone,

 

I'm Sangyun Kim, an undergraduate researcher at UC Berkeley currently working on a project about identifying and understanding time-consuming bottlenecks in process design workflows.

 

I have tremendous respect for the wealth of experience and diverse backgrounds represented in this community, and I'm eager to learn from your expertise.

 

My ultimate goal is to explore how AI technologies might help address these time delays and improve design efficiency.

 

What I'm researching: I'm trying to identify which specific stages or activities in the process design workflow take the most time and understand the underlying reasons why these bottlenecks occur. My goal is to pinpoint where engineers spend disproportionate amounts of time and what factors contribute to these delays.

 

What I'm looking for: I'd love to hear from process engineers (especially those with 5+ years of experience) about:

• Which parts of the process design workflow consume the most time in your experience
• What specific factors or challenges make these stages so time-intensive
• Whether these bottlenecks are due to technical complexity, lack of information, iterative revisions, or other factors

Time commitment: Just 15-20 minutes of your time via phone, video call, or even email if that works better for you.

 

I'm genuinely interested in learning from practitioners about the real-world challenges you face in design timelines. If you're open to a brief conversation about your experience with process design bottlenecks, please feel free to DM me or comment below.

Thanks for considering, and I look forward to connecting with some of you!

Best,
