  • Started in building 1, they had three X-stamp machines and two regular machines, and they would alternate every day between these machines.
  • I was on the safety committee, and we would look for problems or come up with better solutions to run the plant efficiently.
  • The company was really big on Kaizen, which involved finding solutions for safety issues by filling out a form to turn in. If granted, you would earn extra money on your check.
  • They were really big on types of mooda, things that can harm a company like waste, excess inventory, time off task, etc.
  • Depending on the product, we either had to attach a metal bracket with three rivets or attach two pieces together with rivets. Each plastic piece had to be inspected for defects, trimmed of excess plastic, or heated with a heat gun. This was a fast-paced job. We had to count pieces correctly and fill out the label with our employee number and date.
  • Worked on level 2 status. Had to take a bunch of computer tests and the crane test. Had to be there 30 minutes earlier and had to check the water filters on all machines. Check the magnet filters on all the machines. I could move the molds to and from the machine. We also had to scan the order in, and the process tech would finish the rest.
  • There were 8 molds that weighed 2000 pounds, and 6 molds that had a special crane to move due to their weight. When moving the big molds, you had to be really careful due to clearance on either side of only five inches. Then you had to connect four hoses on each side of the mold: two for water and two for oil.
  • Then we went to building 2, where they have the rest of the machines and products they make. Assembled all kinds of different parts for Corolla, Camry, and Lexus. Worked on the paint line, pad print machine, and the room where overhead consoles were made for Corolla and Lexus.
  • The pad print machine requires you to mix the ink together, line it up to the pads, and ensure it matches up with the product.
  • Was also a 100 percenter. We had to check the completed parts to see if they functioned correctly and to check for any missed defects before it goes out to the customer. If we found completed parts missing anything, we had to write it up and turn it into management. We also had to do a certain amount to complete a shipment.
