Punch/Fiber Combo Procedure

1.  Get work orders from Production Planner for the shift.

2.     Locate the materials to be cut by the tag numbers listed on the work orders.

3.     Verify length, width, gauge, material type, surface condition, and tag number of found material.

4.     Locate the empty skids for finished material to be stacked on, by the skid type and sizes listed in the program file.  Make sure the skids have paper on them.  

5.     Load the tower with the bundles of sheet and the empty skids required for the jobs to be run in the work orders.

6.     Using the scanner at the control panel, scan the job barcode at the top of the program file to load the job into the machine.  Job program files may also be found on the SDD server in the event the scanner does not recognize the barcode scan.  Contact quality or a supervisor if this happens to verify the correct job is pulled.

7.     Enter the number of sheets to be cut.  This information is found in the work order and the program file.

8.     Start the Program.

9.     Once the prototype part is cut, remove it from the machine and perform first piece inspection.  Repeat as many times as needed until the first piece of every part being produced is checked.

10.     If non-conforming material is found, notify quality or a supervisor for disposition. Non-conforming material will be physically segregated on the production floor and virtually segregated in the operating system. If the parts pass First Piece Inspection, begin production.

11.     Perform periodic dimensional checks per the frequency listed on the work order. If no frequency is specified, additional checks will be performed after a new tool is installed or a machine crash occurs.

12.     Before packaging, perform a visual inspection of the parts. Make sure all necessary features are entirely punched out and/or laser cut, the stack of parts is lying flat and level on the pallet, there is no excessive overhang, and no other defects are present. Segregate any non-conforming parts and notify the Supervisor and Quality.

  13.     Finish packaging parts according to the specs listed in the work order.

  14.     Complete the job in operating system, log the completed job time, and print/attach the finished goods or WIP tag to the parts.  The tag number must also be written on the finished goods skids.

  15.     Move finished and identified parts to finished goods or WIP area.

  16.     Go to next job
