  • Ensure effective machine loading, job allocation, setup planning, and adherence to production schedules.
  • Track cycle time, setup time, productivity, and delivery performance against established targets.

OEE \& Machine Downtime Management

  • Monitor OEE, including machine availability, performance, and quality, and drive improvement initiatives.
  • Identify and analyse machine downtime, idle time, bottlenecks, and recurring production losses.
  • Coordinate with Maintenance and Engineering teams to prevent unplanned downtime, expedite breakdown recovery, and implement corrective actions.
  • Ensure daily machine condition checks and adherence to preventive maintenance schedules.

CNC Machining \& Tooling Management

  • Supervise 3-axis, 5-axis, and multi-axis CNC machining operations using Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Heidenhain controls.
  • Ensure correct tooling, fixtures, offsets, setup parameters, and approved CNC programs are used for production.
  • Monitor tool life, tool wear, changeovers, and setup efficiency to minimize machining interruptions and quality issues.
  • Ensure adherence to approved setup sheets, process parameters, work instructions, and machining practices.

Quality \& Compliance

  • Ensure components conform to engineering drawings, GD\&T requirements, tolerances, and customer specifications.
  • Ensure first-off approval, in-process inspection, product traceability, and control of non-conforming components.
