BUILD EVENTS:
- Participate on prototype build events
- Create a List of Open Points (LOP) document about all the engineering related issues
o Assembly problems, quality problems, etc.
- Discuss through the found problems with the international development engineering team (Germany, Hungary, Romania) to ensure that they will be able to analyse the problems
- Do root cause analyses with ‘Ishikawa’ / ‘5 why’ tools, and create a report based on these. If requested create a proper 8D report.
- After the root cause analysis propose a short term and a long-term solution for the problems
o The long-term solution must be feasible for the injection moulding tool modifications, and it has to respect the OEM standards
- After the root cause analysis support the development engineering team to find a short term and a long-term solution for the problems
- Organize trials to verify the solutions to the project team or to the OEM
MEETINGS:
- attending meetings with Development, Quality, Change Management, Process Engineers, customer, suppliers when requested
- organizing meetings / trials (including tools, engineering parts – IP and CFC) with all above for feasibility, process and design check.
CONCEPTS:
- Analysing 3D concepts with Development Team (DT) from rework feasibility at Solihull site
- CAD analysing for root cause or / and searching for a new solution independently from CAD team
- Sharing own ideas with DT, justification and feasibility check
REWORKS:
- Reworking parts according to DT instructions, drawings, general concepts and / or own ideas
- Defining rework methodology, tools selection, place.
- Creating rework instructions and provide training
- Implementing rework in production process
- Evaluation and controlling new process
- Rework Improvements: defining, updating documentation, providing training, implementing, evaluation, controlling
- Cooperating with various departments
SUPPORT:
- Respond to Logistics / Engineering notifications e.g. searching for alternative fixings, parts etc. and assessment technical drawing and properties for potential usefulness
- Supporting Quality due to customer complaints: failure assessment, providing data, evaluations, development history, parts check
- Providing data and results of trials, reworks, measurements to Quality and DT
- Supporting parts & process trials, design checks, risk assessment on production line with all Departments, customer, supplier.
- Supporting customer on its production line: delivering parts, issues during the assembly process
MEASUREMENTS:
- Cooperating with GOM: parts shipment and measurements requests
- Squeak and Rattle of new solutions assessment in S&R chamber,
- Providing data and results of trials, reworks, measurements to Quality and DT
