TECHNICIAN RESPONSIBILITIES

 

The technician repairs machinery breakdowns and flagged items as required. If unable to repair the breakdown, the technician submits a work order including the machine number, department, type of breakdown, and description.

 

The technician completes a thorough information ‘handoff’ with the technician from the previous shift and checks the work order system at the beginning of each shift.

 

The technician wears his plant radio and carries the Card Technician smart phone at all times.

 

1. OPENING: The technician follows the prescribed safety procedures. (Ref. SAFETY00 & SAFETY4M)

 

After shift change, alert production manager if any machine operator is absent in opening, carding, or drawing.

 

Cycle the laydowns in the basement at the start of the shift to be sure that there are enough bales cut to run the shift. Check that the stock cutter has hand-leveled and cleaned all laydowns. Alert production manager if any problem.

 

Cycle opening equipment and look for opportunities to prevent stock flow interruptions (filtration gauges, conditions, MPM jumping trunks, chokes in lines, etc.). Communicate with operators all during the shift.

 

On weekends, complete the weekly machine cleaning checklists as assigned by shift.

 

During normal operation, the technician cycles all equipment. He or she cleans MPM flaps and listen for any unusual noises. Identify the source of any problems and correct the problem if able. Create a work order for any problem that cannot be handled by the technician.

 

During the shift, the technician must clean all PWS hoppers and then put the test weight on all pans that are in production to check that the pans are weighing correctly. Enter the weight number into the DTM computer system. Stop off any pans that are not weighing correctly and call their manager.

 

Track any downtime
