Production Line Operator

You work a station in the cell to a fixed cycle time: take the parts from the bin, assemble them in the order the work sheet shows, press or clip the connection and place the finished unit in the carrier. You test each unit on the station tester, mark a failure with the red tag and put it in the rework box. You count the empty bins, call the material handler before the station runs dry and note downtime on the terminal. Shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation.
