- Skilfully use mold design software such as CAD, UG and Pro/E to draw a full set of 2D and 3D mold drawings, mark clear dimensions, tolerances, material requirements and processing technology instructions, ensure that the drawings are accurate, complete and standardized, in line with fitness equipment industry standards and technical requirements of local Malaysian processing enterprises, and can be directly used for mold processing.
- Dock with mold processing suppliers (local or overseas), provide mold design drawings and technical requirements, follow up the entire mold processing process, supervise processing progress and quality, check key dimensions and process links, timely communicate and solve design deviations and process problems arising in the processing process, ensure that mold processing meets design requirements and is delivered on time.
- Participate in fitness equipment new product R&D projects, put forward mold design optimization schemes combined with product structure optimization suggestions, avoid mold-related problems that may occur in the product production process in advance, and help new products quickly enter mass production.
Mold Commissioning & Trial Run
- Be responsible for the entire mold trial run process, formulate trial run schemes, prepare materials, equipment (injection molding machine, punch press, etc.) and tools required for trial run, debug trial run equipment parameters, organize trial run operations, and record data (pressure, temperature, time, etc.) and problems arising during the trial run process.
- Analyze the quality of trial run samples (dimensional accuracy, surface quality, assembly adaptability, etc.), investigate mold problems (such as unreasonable structure, dimensional deviation, etc.), formulate mold rectification schemes, guide mold technicians or suppliers to modify and debug molds, and conduct repeated trial runs until the sample quality meets fitness equipment product standards and production requirements.
- After the trial run is qualified, solidify the mold commissioning parameters, compile mold trial run reports, operation specifications and maintenance manuals, deliver them to the production workshop for use, and guide workshop operators to use molds correctly to ensure stable mold operation during mass production.
Mold Maintenance & Upkeep
- Formulate daily maintenance and regular upkeep plans for molds (daily inspection, weekly inspection, monthly inspection, annual upkeep), clarify maintenance content, cycle and responsible person, supervise the implementation of the plans, focus on checking key parts such as mold cavity, core, guide mechanism and cooling system, timely clean mold residues and oil stains, and do a good job in lubrication and rust prevention.
- Be responsible for the emergency disposal of mold failures during production. After receiving the mold failure notification (such as jamming, damage, unqualified products, etc.), rush to the scene to investigate the cause of the failure in a timely manner, quickly formulate a maintenance plan, guide mold maintenance technicians to repair and debug molds, minimize downtime and reduce production losses.
- Establish a mold account, record mold design parameters, processing information, trial run data, maintenance records, fault repair records and service life in detail, track mold status in real time, and put forward suggestions for scrapping, renovation or replacement of molds with severe aging and wear to ensure reasonable and usable mold inventory.
Mold Optimization & Cost Control
- Track the operation status of molds in mass production, count mold-related data (service life, fault frequency, product qualification rate, maintenance cost, etc.), analyze mold deficiencies (such as low production efficiency, high maintenance cost, many product defects, etc.), and formulate mold optimization schemes (such as structural optimization, process parameter adjustment, material upgrading, etc.).
- Implement mold optimization schemes, improve mold production efficiency, extend mold service life, reduce product defect rate, and at the same time reduce mold maintenance costs and material loss through modifying mold structure, adjusting commissioning parameters, etc., to achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing
- Optimize mold design and processing schemes, select cost-effective mold materials, simplify mold structure, shorten processing cycle on the premise of ensuring mold quality and product precision, control mold development and processing costs; reasonably plan mold maintenance to reduce unnecessary maintenance expenses.
Technical Support & Compliance Management
- Provide mold-related technical support for the production workshop, answer questions encountered by operators in the process of mold use, guide operators to use molds in a standardized manner, conduct simple daily mold inspection and maintenance, improve operators' mold operation level, and reduce mold damage and product quality problems caused by improper operation.
- Participate in mold-related quality improvement projects, cooperate with the quality department to analyze product quality defects caused by mold problems, formulate and implement rectification measures to form closed-loop management; provide mold-related testing data and technical materials, and cooperate with third-party testing institutions and local Malaysian quality supervision departments in inspection and filing work.
- Strictly abide by local Malaysian laws and regulations on production safety, environmental protection and product quality and company rules and regulations, standardize operation processes in mold design, trial run and maintenance, implement safety protection measures (such as safety protection during mold commissioning, waste disposal, etc.), ensure that all work is compliant, and avoid compliance risks and related penalties.
- Track the cutting edge of mold technology in the fitness equipment industry, learn advanced mold design, processing and commissioning technologies, and continuously improve their professional capabilities; sort out mold-related technical materials, drawings and manuals, establish technical files, and ensure the completeness and timeliness of technical materials.
- Complete other temporary work tasks assigned by superiors (such as mold technical training, mold supplier evaluation, feasibility analysis of new product molds, etc.).
