RESPONSIBILITIES/ BRIEF JOB DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
|
Productivity (P):
Develop and modify CNC/VMC programs using G-code/M-code based on engineering drawings and CAD models.
• Plan machining processes, tool selection, work holding and machining sequences.
• Optimize cutting parameters, tool paths and machining methods to reduce cycle time.
• Run program simulations, prove-outs and trial machining before production release.
• Improve machine utilization and productivity through continual improvement initiatives.
• Support production during program-related issues and minimize machine downtime
Quality (Q):
• Ensure CNC programs produce components as per drawing specifications and required tolerances.
• Verify dimensions, GD&T, surface finish and other critical characteristics during prove-out and production.
• Select appropriate tools, cutting parameters and machining strategies to achieve required quality.
• Investigate machining defects and implement corrective/preventive actions.
• Perform root cause analysis for recurring quality issues.
• Coordinate with Quality and Design teams for drawing or process-related issues
Cost (C):
• Optimize cutting tools, speeds, feeds and machining strategies to reduce machining cost.
• Minimize tool consumption, scrap, rework and unnecessary machine time.
• Identify opportunities for tool-life improvement and process cost reduction.
• Support cost-reduction and continual-improvement projects.
• Ensure economical selection of tooling, fixtures and machining processes.
Delivery (D):
• Prepare CNC programs within planned timelines to support production schedules.
• Ensure timely prove-out and release of new/modified programs.
• Provide quick program corrections during production to avoid delays.
• Coordinate with Production, Quality, Tool Room and Design teams to meet delivery requirements.
• Maintain and update approved CNC programs and ensure correct program availability at the machine.
Safety (S):
Follow all machine safety and shop-floor safety rules.
- Check program coordinates, tool offsets, work offsets, spindle direction, and feed rates before running the machine.
- Test programs safely using simulation, dry run, single block, and reduced feed.
- Use cutting tools, fixtures, workpieces, and measuring instruments safely and correctly.
- Report any unsafe condition, machine problem, tool failure, or hazard immediately.
- Wear required PPE and follow all EHS rules.
- Check the program properly to avoid machine crashes, tool damage, and accidents.
Environment (E):
- Follow company environmental procedures applicable to CNC/VMC machining operations.
- Minimize material, coolant, cutting-tool, and energy wastage through efficient machining practices.
- Support proper segregation and disposal of metal chips, used cutting tools, coolant, and other machining waste.
- Promote energy-efficient machining and reduce unnecessary machine idle time.
- Maintain clean and organized programming and machining work areas.
- Support environmental and sustainability initiatives implemented by the organization.
Morale (M):
- Maintain effective communication and coordination with Production, Quality, Design, Tool Room, and other support functions.
- Share technical knowledge and programming best practices with team members.
- Support operators and setters in resolving CNC/VMC programming and machining issues.
- Encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and continual improvement.
- Maintain a positive and professional attitude while working under production pressure.
- Participate in training, skill development, and knowledge-sharing activities.
- Contribute to a disciplined, safe, and collaborative shop-floor environment.
ESG:
- Support Environmental, Social, and Governance objectives of the organization.
- Promote responsible use of materials, cutting tools, energy, and other resources.
- Follow ethical practices, company policies, and applicable statutory requirements.
- Maintain accurate and controlled CNC program documentation and revision history.
