Role & responsibilities
Study 2D / 3D casting/machining drawings and RFQs; identify material, finished dimensions, tolerances, GD&T;, surface finish and critical features.
Develop operation-wise process routes covering turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, grinding and other applicable operations.
Determine machine selection, setup sequence, work holding requirements and cycle time for each operation.
Calculate machining cost including machine-hour rate, setup time, cycle time, labor, tooling, consumables, inspection and overheads.
Estimate cutting-tool consumption, tool life, fixtures/work holding, gauges and special tooling where applicable.
Consider casting allowance, machining allowance, datum strategy, clamping and casting variability in costing.
Prepare component-wise machining should-cost,



compare supplier quotations and identify major cost drivers / cost-reduction prospects.
Coordinate with Foundry, Methodology, Production, Tool Room, Quality, Purchase and Commercial teams.
