A day in the life
When the second shift starts, you’ll log into the ERP, review your work orders and flow sheets, and study the part drawings to plan your setup. You’ll pull and verify material from the staging area per WOPAC, load and confirm the correct tools and fixtures, and when necessary, fabricate simple fixtures to keep the job moving. With vices aligned and fixture centers located, you’ll upload or download CNC programs from the programmer to the machine and run a clean first article for Quality Assurance.
Throughout the run, you’ll check blueprint dimensions with manual gauges, conduct in-process inspections, and keep production parts flowing. You’ll keep your area organized using 5S principles, perform daily and monthly preventive maintenance on your machines, and communicate progress or roadblocks to your Supervisor so jobs finish on time. You’ll support all safety and quality system requirements, take on additional duties as assigned, and maintain the standards expected in a safety-sensitive position.
