Stamping, Sheet Metal & Metallic Part Manufacturing Process - Define Manufacturing Process for Parts including ST/HT. - Define Tool Specification in detail for Stamping Parts - Define economic Process for Machined/Metal Parts - Define economic Strip/Sheet Layout to reduce scrap and achieve best possible cost for Stamping Parts - Estimate Tool & Parts cost for budgeting/ benchmarking. - Define Part Qualification and Tool validation requirements. - Prepare Parts / Tool Qualification schedule to meet Project timeline Development of new Tools / Parts (follow Part Development Procedure) - Attend Part Design review with Design team. Do the Dimensional Feasibility study and Manufacturing Feasibility Study. Provide necessary feedback to the design team based on the outcome of feasibility study to update the drawing and specifications. - Prepare and maintain “Technical File” for each Part. - Prepare “PPEP File” religiously o Prepare detailed Specification for the Tools for stamping Parts. Prepare Process Sheet for Machined Parts. - Send RFQs through Purchase for Tools and Part. - Conduct Prelaunch meetings with the Supplier identified - Coordinate with Purchase and Finalize Supplier and Price (Tool and Part cost for Stamping Parts, Development Cost and Part cost for machined Parts) - Conduct Technical Meetings with Supplier and Finalise Production Process, Development Schedule etc in accordance with the Project Target. - Work closely with Supplier and validate all the steps from Tool design to Tool qualification for Stamping parts. Validate process planning, Production process, Prototyping for metallic Parts - Ensure quality of the Tool developed will meet specified Tool life, consistent part quality and production capacity etc for stamping parts - For metallic parts, ensure the process selected and process parameters will meet the specified part quality, production capacity consistently. - Attend Stamping Tool trials and ensure the parts submission for FAIR are alike the actual production condition. o Present at the Supplier place during initial trial of critical process for metal parts and ensure the process parameters are stabilised before the parts are taken for submission to =S= for approval - Work closely with Supplier for qualification of the parts within maximum of two loops o Inspection and validation of the Tools developed, - Maintenance of all documents for each Part (Process flow, Tool design, Tool and Part qualification report, RMTC, ST/HT Test report, PPQR etc) both in soft & hard wherever possible Productionising new Tools - Tool and Process setting at the part supplier’s place - Participate PPEP at Part Supplier’s place - Reach targeted process cycle time - Handover the Tool/Part and Support Plant for the first three Industrial lot and ensure on Part’s consistent quality and trouble-free performance of the Tool. Technical support - Attend and resolve major quality problems / breakdowns related to tools & process whenever required - Implement design change - Support to set-up Tool / Process during Part’s supplier changed - Support Team members as and when required - Support R&D & Plants as and when required Management - Manage workload and priorities between the Projects allotted - Manage Technical and Tool & Part development file - Manage Investment - Monitor & report Tool / Part development progress against the targeted dates Training - Train and Coach the suppliers to meet =S= requirements - Share the knowledge / experience with team members Skills - Thorough knowledge on Tool design, Tooling raw material, Tool manufacturing, Tool and Part costing and Presses - Through Knowledge of Precision Part manufacturing process - Knowledge of metrology, SPC etc, - Knowledge on Post Stamping and Post machining Operation (ST/HT etc) - Knowledge on Product and functional requirement and criticality of the Parts
