Assembler

Versatile Inc
Nunica
09.2021 - 11.2022
  • At Versatile INC I would gather the materials I needed around the factory using a high-low to make and package pindecks at that specific station. A pindeck is the last section of a bowling lane where all the pins sit on. During the process of making pindecks I would use a router, leveler, suction cup lift, and lastly I would put the trimming around the edges with a gas powered drill. Throughout the day I would fix/change the blades and go and grab more pindecks with the high-low so they could be finished and packaged. Each pindeck weighed about 200 pounds so thats why we used the suction cup lift.
  • Created a new cleaning process for the pindeck station at Versatile Inc to help keep that area of the factory clean and organized. The effect of that was helping reduce the amount of time being spent on looking for tools or products that we needed to keep the flow of production at a good rate.
