SMT-SH-002                Shear Procedure

                                                                                     Shear Procedure 

1. Printout pick list or shear schedule to identify sheets to cut for job. If lineup is changed, Production Planner or Plant Manager will notify Operator and correct schedule.

2. Skid list is created per schedule and given to appropriate personnel.

3. Use W/O "Order Spec" sections to determine size settings that will be input into shear and/or setup of "flipper" cut, if required.

4. Sheets loaded onto shear by appropriate personnel. Tag is given to Operator to verify correct sheets per W/O.

5. Gauge check performed prior to cutting any material.

6. If blanking multiple pieces out of each master sheet:

Cut first three pieces to finished good size, then check dimensions (including width, length, gauge and square). If any dimensional measurements fall outside of customer requirements (from "Part Spec" section of W/O), segregate nonconforming material. Reset up to meet customer requirements. Flipper cut to be checked in same manner if also used in setup. Repeat check at end of first skid.

   If cutting one piece per master sheet:

Check first piece cut to finished good size then check dimensions (including width, length, gauge and square). If any dimensional measurements fall outside of customer requirements (from "Part Spec" section of W/O), segregate nonconforming material. Reset up to meet customer requirements. Flipper cut to be checked in same manner if also used in setup. Repeat check at end of first skid.

7. Once finished good size is correct, record measurement on FOP 081.  Notify quality or supervisor of any nonconforming material for disposition.

8. Flatness and any other W/O required checks should be completed after first full master sheet is cut to finished good size and recorded on FOP 081. These checks should be repeated at the end of the first skid. If outside of customer requirements, as stated on W/O, quality or supervisor should be notified for disposition.

9. Thereafter, all dimensional and customer required checks will be repeated after every 4,000 lbs produced and recorded on FOP 081.

10. If Work Order/Part Spec says "Residual Stress Check", then check residual stress per SMT-SH-001.

11. Visual inspection for BURR, WIDTH, CAMBER, FLATNESS, LENGTH, SURFACE QUALITY, and SHAPE performed on every bundle (not recorded).

12. If any check does not meet the Customer Part Specification/Job Requirements, QA is notified and will contact sales as required.

13. Sales to contact customer for deviation. If customer accepts deviation, thenn JDM100 (Deviation Request Form) will be filled out and signed (email or verbal acceptance is acceptable and should be documented by sales) and OK is noted on FOP 081 and/or work order. If customer does not accept deviation, the Production Planner is notified so replacement can be made and material is placed in reject warehouse for MRB disposition.

14. Shear Product is packaged according to W/O & Part Specification, weight is either determined theoretically (actual Width X Length X Thickness X .2833 X # of pieces) or each skid of different piece counts, sizes or dimensions are weighed. If run is multiple skids of same size, dimensions and piece count, weighing one skid to print all tags for all skids is acceptable.  Skids are then tagged and moved to appropriate warehouse.
