1 |
Production Scheduler |
Upon deciding to start
preparation of a job |
Production schedule; check
BOM, die, steel,
heat code in M2M. |
Determine which job orders
need released, quantity and any special restrictions
and edit BOM;
notify Steelyard and Die Prep if "rush
job |
Print pick list in the
Steelyard; Traveler is kept in the steel
yard and Die Prep picks up Traveler when
needed |
| 2 |
Forging Production
Supervisor |
As soon as possible as
production needs change |
Production
Schedule; Traveler; personal knowledge of production
resources |
Decide to start
preparation for a forging job (sometimes based on
what is currently stamped in die and/or print);
assign first article part number per TOP-QARTI; verify the
hammer blow pattern is printed on the Traveler |
Decision as to what job,
on which hammer in what sequence; hammer blow pattern
verified |
| 3 |
Steelyard
Supervisor or Specialist |
Upon receiving
BOM |
Traveler; Steel info on
computer |
Carefully verify the
BOM, report any
problems or questions back to Engineering or
Production Scheduler; if chemical check analysis is
required, initiate TOP-CHEMC; determine first bundle to cut for the job;
pull the bundle up to the shear or saw; write the
bundle ID and heat code on the Traveler in large black
letters and initial it; add heat code to Traveler in computer; Print
Traveler in
steelyard's office; begin cutting steel
(TOP-CUTIT) |
BOM verified and started.

Die Prep
Helper |
As determine that a die
needs to be prepared (may be because of Traveler, call from Forging
Production Supervisor or simply shop
schedule) |
Shop schedule; print or
notes from computer or hard copy; Traveler; Trinity Forge Material
information; QC Print |
Pull the die from the
racks (or from die shop) and open them up; clean up
and polish dies and other tooling and repair any
minor damage that you can; notify Forging Production
Supervisor, VP-Quality & Engineering, Production
Scheduler or Die Shop Supervisor if there are
problems you cannot quickly fix; take QC print and
Traveler to the
hammer; (DO NOT IGNORE ANY DIE OR TOOLING PROBLEM AND
LET IT GET TO THE HAMMER); determine the correct
lettering and stamp it in the die or use clay to read
numbers and letters to avoid seeing a mirror image;
if tooling for hot stamping is needed, send
Traveler to Die
Shop Die Man for assembly and check (see steps 5-9); insert the stencils (IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS,
ASK!); get Traveler from Steelyard
office; sign the Traveler; call the Die Prep
Leadman or another Die Prep Helper to verify the die
and lettering and be sure they co-sign the ticket;
scan stamping approval into M2M; take the die,
Traveler and
other tooling to die preheat furnace nearest hammer
to be used; preheat to 400° F
minimum; pre-heat trim tools. |
Die prepared, verified and
ready; Traveler
taken to hammer; stamping approval scanned into
M2M |
| Steps 5 thru 9 are only
performed when hot stamping is
needed. |

Forging Production
Supervisor or Leadman |
At heat code change (when
hot stamping is used) |
Production Schedule;
Traveler |
Call die shop and inform
Die Shop Worker of need for heat code change.
Determine if change can be done at the press or if
the tooling needs to be taken to the die shop. If
tooling needs to be taken to die shop provide them
with the Traveler. |
Die shop notified of need
for heat code change; Traveler
provided |

Die Shop Die
Man |
Upon receiving
Traveler on a hot
stamping job. Do not continue unless Traveler is
available |
Traveler; QC Print |
Assemble heat code for hot
stamping. If forge die is not in Die Shop, notify Die
Prep Helper that hot stamping tooling is ready. If
forge die is in Die Shop; notify QC Inspector to
check tooling; notify Die Prep Helper to pick up
die |
Tooling is prepared for
hot stamping |
| 7 |
Die Prep
Helper |
Upon notification that
tooling for a hot stamping job has been
prepared |
Traveler |
If forge die is in Die
Prep, retrieve hot stamping tooling from Die Shop,
notify QC Inspector that tooling is ready to be
checked. If both die and tooling were in Die Shop,
retrieve assembled and checked die from Die
Shop. |
Tooling is retrieved for
hot stamping |
| 8< |
QC Inspector/QC
Specialist |
Upon notification that
tooling for a hot stamping job has been
prepared |
Traveler |
Verify that hot stamping
tooling has been assembled correctly; initial or
stamp Traveler.
Return Traveler
to Die Shop Die Man or Die Prep Helper (whichever is
appropriate). |
Hot stamping tooling
correctness is verified |
| 9 |
Die Shop Die Man/Die Prep
Helper |
When Traveler is returned from QC
Inspector/QC Specialist |
Traveler |
If hot stamp punch was
assembled and checked in Die Shop, notify Die Prep
Helper to pick up hot stamp
tooling |
Hot stamping tooling
delivered to Die Prep Helper; Traveler returned to
hammer |

Forging Production
Supervisor |
Upon determining the need
to change the planned production sequence of heat
codes for a die after the Traveler has been
initiated |
Own
judgment; Traveler; tub/buggy
tags |
Match what the
Traveler has
generated and what containers of material have been
cut; change the Traveler and tags as
necessary to ensure they reflect the desired
production sequence. |
Traveler, material container
tags clearly reflect the desired production
sequence |
