• Report production data to the supervisor to ensure that production targets are being met.
• Complete necessary forms or logs related to machine downtime, defects, or any irregularities during production.
• Troubleshooting and Issue Reporting:
• Identify and report machine issues, process anomalies, or quality defects that affect production.
• Collaborate with the production supervisor or maintenance technician to solve any operational problems.
• Assist in identifying potential causes of production inefficiencies and suggest improvements to the process.
• Teamwork and Communication:
• Work closely with other machine operators, the production team, and the maintenance department to ensure that production goals are met.
• Communicate effectively with team members to address any issues related to machine performance, material supply, or quality control.

Authorities:

• Machine Start-Up and Shutdown:
• Authority to start, stop, and shut down the injection moulding machine based on production requirements and machine status.
• Approve the initial machine setup after confirming that all settings and materials are correct.
• Adjust Machine Settings:
• Authority to adjust basic machine parameters (e.g., injection pressure, temperature, speed) during the production process to optimize output or resolve issues.
• Quality Control Monitoring:
• Authority to reject defective products and inform the supervisor if they do not meet the quality standards.
• Authority to perform initial quality checks and adjust the machine settings if necessary to correct defects or quality issues.
• Material Handling and Loading:
• Authority to load and unload raw materials into the machine, ensuring that the correct material is used for production.
• Authority to manage material usage to ensure that there is no wastage and that production continues without interruption.
• Reporting Production Issues:
• Authority to report machine malfunctions, quality issues, or other concerns to the production supervisor or maintenance department for immediate action.
• Safety Oversight:
• Authority to stop the production process or halt machine operations if there are any safety concerns or if safety procedures are not being followed.
• Ensure that PPE and safety measures are properly followed by other machine operators and staff in the production area.
