DEFINITION

The Machine Operator II is responsible for selecting the appropriate program settings to run parts on the automated machine. They are to load and unload the proper material based off of the program they are running according to repetitive standard operating procedures. They are not authorized to ever write, modify, edit, or delete any programs, the operator is only responsible for selecting the appropriate program to run parts. Before running part, the Machine operator will be responsible for stamping or verifying that the weight rating has been stamped into the material. After the parts have been machined the machine operator must perform different quality checks before sending the parts down the production line.  

The operator is responsible for basic daily upkeep and cleaning of machinery and tooling. If there are any problems with programming, tooling, fixtures, or quality of work in process, the operator must immediately inform the Production Supervisor.  The Machine Operator II is responsible for consistently reaching full machine capacity and efficiency.  The key factor in accomplishing full machine capacity and efficiency is to reduce the amount of time the machine is idle and to keep the machine continuously running as much as possible during shift.  Ways to accomplish this may include providing suggestions on better utilization of the machine during breaks, lunches and meetings, providing feedback on machine performance and utilization. If the machine is ever idle it is the operator’s top priority to get the machine to process parts again as quickly as possible.
