Responsibilities Key
Responsibilities •Supervise stamping operations with strong working knowledge of presses, dies, and stamping setups, ensuring stable running conditions and adherence to work instructions. •Oversee CNC turning/machining operations, including first-piece / first-off approvals, in-process checks, and daily production control •Drive cycle time and process parameter optimization (tools, offsets, cutting conditions) to improve productivity and reduce waste. •Troubleshoot machining issues promptly and coordinate with Maintenance/Engineering to restore stable production •Ensure operators follow best practices for tooling/inserts/offset handling and maintain accurate production reporting •Coordinate with technicians to ensure proper setup, inspection, cleaning, maintenance and repair of stamping tools/dies; plan repairs/modifications to minimize downtime. •Improve setup success rate and reduce changeover time through better procedures, checklists, and training. •Support equipment and sub-processes commonly present in high-speed stamping environments (e.g., terminal presses/associated sub-process equipment), working with engineering for improvements. •Deliver shift output vs. plan, ensuring on-time achievement of daily production targets for both processes •Allocate manpower, manage line balancing, and ensure smooth production flow across machines/workstations. •Monitor hourly attainment, downtime, scrap, and major variances; escalate constraints and implement corrective actions using structured problem solving. •Ensure accurate shift handover, including production issues, quality concerns, and equipment status. •Partner with Quality and Engineering to implement error-proofing, improve uptime/cycle speed, and reduce waste—typical continuous improvement expectations in high-speed stamping operations.
