What does a mold engineer do?

The job content of the mold following engineer is actually to track the entire process of mold production to ensure correct and safe production. The specific mold following responsibilities and processes are as follows:\x0d\ 1. The business provides "Mold Layout Table" . \x0d\ 2. Review the new mold opening. Based on the 3D and prototype provided by the customer, explain the product function, assembly, and structural safety regulations, determine the mold opening requirements, precautions, any defects, and the degree of customer acceptance, determine the mold structure, and process Method: For a mold with multiple cavities or multiple cavities of different types, the cavities should be arranged. Any product changes caused by mold structural problems must be signed in writing by the customer. \x0d\ 3. Production meeting: According to the order date, collaborate with the engineering department, mold department, and sales department to formulate specific processing dates and prepare a "Mold Schedule". \x0d\\x0d\ "Mold Schedule" program: The business provides the "Mold Schedule" and related information, and prepares the "Mold Schedule" with the mold engineer. \x0d\ ①Business;\x0d\ ②Engineering department supervisor, 3D designer;\x0d\ ③Tool and mold department supervisor;\x0d\ ④Mold follow-up engineer;\x0d\ ⑤QC engineer signature, review, and distribution of "Mold Progress" by relevant departments surface". \x0d\\x0d\ 4. Mold progress follow-up and mold quality improvement: \x0d\\x0d\ A. To follow up on project drawings, it is necessary to communicate with production site personnel in a timely manner to adjust the drawing situation to prevent leakage of drawings. \x0d\ B. Follow-up and coordination of workpiece processing are the basic responsibilities of the mold following engineer. In order to facilitate the "mold following engineer" to conduct more detailed and in-depth production, the following provisions are made for outsourced processing of workpieces: \x0d\ ① Procurement provides outsourced manufacturers , the company's telephone number, contact person, workpiece delivery and return date, number of pieces and other relevant information are handed over to the relevant molding engineer. The molding engineer must sign for outbound delivery, and the molding engineer must sign for receipt when returning to the factory. \x0d\\x0d\ ② For third-party manufacturers, in order to strengthen their control and ensure the progress and quality of their workpieces, the workpieces are inspected with the mold engineer and the deputy director or team leader of the mold room. If defective workpieces are returned for reprocessing in a timely manner, and if they cause a delay in the company's progress, the molding engineer has the right to impose a fine of 1 to 10% and submit it to the company's finance department, and notify the relevant third parties to sign. \x0d\\x0d\ ③ There must be a reason for welding and the signature of the mold engineer. If the mold follow-up engineer is not in the factory, hand it over to the security department first, and weld it temporarily. The security guard will hand it over to the mold follow-up engineer before 9:00 the next morning. After signing, it will be returned to the tool mold department. Any violation will be handed over to the factory department for handling. Welding process: Application from the person in charge of the mold department (indicate the reason for welding), signature of the deputy supervisor, review by the supervisor, confirmation with the mold engineer, and release for welding. \x0d\\x0d\ C. "Errors" in workpiece processing include errors by the factory, errors by third parties, and errors by customers (except for customer errors, but the relevant deputy supervisor will indicate the customer error). If an error occurs during workpiece processing, there must be a responsible person who fills out the "Error Form", provides handling advice to the mold engineer, and forwards it to the sales department. \x0d\\x0d\ "Error Form" procedure: The responsible person fills in the "Error Form", the deputy supervisor reviews it, and submits it to the mold engineer to fill in the handling opinions and submit it to the sales department. \x0d\\x0d\ D. Summary of abnormalities in the mold processing process, (including welding, customer modification of drawings, additional products, workpiece scrapping, misalignment, board misalignment, repeated design changes at the same place, workpieces, large copper gongs, etc. gong small). \x0d\\x0d\ E. Fill in the daily "Work Report" with the mold engineer. \x0d\\x0d\ 5. Five days before the new mold test, the mold engineer needs to have a specific coordination of the mold progress, including which mold trials are in advance and which are delayed. For delayed mold trials, report to the team leader, Supervisor, convene a meeting in a timely manner to assist in the proper handling of delayed mold testers.

\x0d\\x0d\ Meeting procedures: The mold follow-up engineer fills out the "Internal Contact Sheet" ① Engineering Department Supervisor ② Mold Follow-up Team Leader ③ Sales Department ④ Mold Room Supervisor \x0d\\x0d\ 6. Mold installation inspection, when fitter installs the mold , fill out the "Mold Installation Inspection Form" and confirm with the mold engineer. Mold installation inspection procedure: The fitter fills out the "Mold Installation Inspection Form", which is reviewed by the deputy supervisor and confirmed with the mold engineer. (You must have the "Mold Installation Inspection Form" signed by the mold engineer in collaboration with the mold room before you can apply for mold trial.\x0d\\x0d\ 7. Mold trial: The deputy supervisor applies for mold trial supervisor to verify and sign with the mold engineer. The single clerk issues orders ① Business transactions ② Check the sample with the mold engineer ③ Industrial mold department ④ Engineering department \x0d\\x0d\ 8. For the first mold trial, make the "Trial Mold Product Test Report" with the mold engineer to install the board , convene relevant personnel to hold a "First Mold Trial Report" meeting. If there is an abnormality in the mold, the relevant responsible person shall sign on the "Responsibility Column". First meeting of the new mold trial product: Fill out the "Trial Mold" with the mold engineer to inspect the product. Product Inspection Report\x0d\\x0d\ Fill in the "Trial Mold Inspection Report" with the mold engineer: Signature of the responsible person ① 3D designer of the engineering department ② Deputy director of the mold department ③ Supervisor of the processing department ④ Salesperson \x0d\\x0d \ 9. Review the mold repair plan with the customer and issue the mold modification data. This item has been supported by specific documents. When handling the mold modification data, you must pay attention to the following points: \x0d\\x0d\ ① The information is clear and specific, and every point must be The customer must provide figures, and the information must be sorted out completely on the spot. \x0d\ ② When discussing information with the customer, you must be able to exercise judgment, and unreasonable changes proposed by the customer must be explained clearly on the spot. \x0d\ ③ When encountering major changes, you must make a clear decision. Explain the difficulty of the modification to the customer, and analyze the data together with the person responsible for the mold room project. \x0d\ ④ The mold modification data must be signed by the customer \x0d\ ⑤ The mold engineer does not have the right to respond to the customer's modification on the spot. Mold period. \x0d\ ⑥After discussing the information with the customer, the persons responsible for engineering, tooling, and processing should be summoned to check the mold modification information, determine the mold modification processing technology, and determine the mold modification completion date and submit it to the salesperson in writing \ x0d\ 10. "Kanban" management: Each mold group must have a small whiteboard. The clerk of the mold department fills in the mold trial date of each group of molds, including old and new molds, so that each employee can clarify the mold delivery date. The format is such as: Production No. Mold number Responsible person Mold test date and mold engineer \x0d\\x0d\ 11. Follow up until mold approval is OK
