2. Die Fabrication and Assembly

- Responsibilities:

- Manufacture dies, molds, and tooling according to the design specifications.

- Operate machinery like lathes, mills, grinders, and CNC machines to create precise tooling components.

- Assemble the die or mold and test it for proper function and fit within the production system.

- Make necessary adjustments during the assembly to ensure parts are produced accurately.

3. Maintenance and Repair of Dies

- Responsibilities:

- Perform routine maintenance and repairs on dies and molds to ensure they remain functional throughout production cycles.

- Inspect and clean dies regularly to remove any build-up of material or wear that could affect performance.

- Troubleshoot issues that arise during the production process, such as part defects, misalignment, or mold failure.

- Modify dies as needed to accommodate design changes or improve production efficiency.

4. Troubleshooting and Quality Control

- Responsibilities:

- Investigate and troubleshoot production issues related to tooling and die performance, including defects in parts.





- Inspect products produced by the die for quality and adherence to design specifications.

- Ensure that dies and molds maintain consistent quality throughout the production process.

- Work closely with quality control teams to ensure that any issues are resolved promptly to maintain production timelines.

5. Collaboration with Other Departments

- Responsibilities:

- Work closely with production, engineering, and maintenance teams to ensure that tooling and dies meet the requirements of the production process.

- Provide input and feedback to design teams to ensure that tooling is feasible and aligns with the intended production schedule.

- Assist in the training of new employees on the proper use, care, and maintenance of dies and tooling.

Production

Support and Process Improvement

- Responsibilities:





- Provide ongoing support during production by monitoring die performance and identifying opportunities for process improvement.

- Collaborate with production teams to suggest improvements in tooling design or machine setup to reduce production costs and increase efficiency.

- Participate in root cause analysis when defects or delays occur, and propose solutions for future prevention.

8. Safety and Compliance

- Responsibilities:

- Ensure that all die-making processes comply with safety standards and regulations.

- Maintain a clean and safe work environment, ensuring that equipment is properly maintained and that workers follow secure procedures when handling tools.

- Stay informed about health, safety, and environmental regulations that affect the die-making process.

9. Inventory and Tooling Management

- Responsibilities:

- Maintain an inventory of dies, molds, and tools, ensuring that replacements are available when necessary.

- Manage the proper storage and handling of tooling to prevent damage and ensure longevity.

- Keep detailed records of die performance, maintenance schedules, and any modifications made to the tooling.

10. Training and Development

- Responsibilities:

- Continuously improve skills and knowledge of die-making techniques, machinery, and industry standards.

- Mentor and train junior die makers, apprentices, and other team members on best practices in die maintenance, repair, and fabrication.

- Participate in professional development activities, including workshops, seminars, and courses related to die-making and manufacturing processes.
