Job Description: Shift Supervisor Turn-Mill Operations

Experience: 4 to 8 Years

Location: [Bangaluru Dabaspete]

Reports To: Production Manager / Operations Head

Job Summary

Shift Supervisor to oversee our Turn-Mill machining department. To lead a team of operators and setters to meet production targets while maintaining strict quality standards. The ideal candidate has deep technical roots in CNC Turn-Mill operations (multi-axis) and a proven track record of managing shop floor workflows in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Production Management

• Execute the daily production plan to ensure on-time delivery of components.
• Monitor machine uptime and minimize idle time through efficient scheduling of setups and tool changes.
• Manage shift handovers to ensure seamless continuity of work between crews.

2. Technical Oversight

• Provide expert guidance on Turn-Mill centers (e.g., Doosan,).
• Troubleshoot complex machining issues, including tool vibrations, chip control, and surface finish problems.
• Assist in the setting up of 4-axis and 5-axis Turn-Mill operations involving live tooling, C-axis, and Y-axis movements.

3. Quality & Process Control

• Ensure all parts meet dimensional tolerances using precision instruments (Micrometers, CMM reports, Verniers).
• Implement and maintain First Piece Inspection protocols.
• Drive "Zero Defect" initiatives and participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for any non-conformities.

4. Team Leadership & Safety

• Supervise a team of 1020 operators and setters, providing training and performance feedback.
• Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols (PPE, machine guarding) and 5S workplace organization standards.
• Manage labor allocation based on skill levels and production urgency.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Experience: 5 to 8 years in CNC machinery, with at least 2-3 years in a supervisory or lead role specifically for Turn-Mill machines.
• Technical Proficiency:
  • Strong understanding of Fanuc, and Siemens, controllers.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings (GD&T).
  • Knowledge of cutting tool selection and optimized machining parameters (speeds/feeds) for various materials (17-4PH, Inconel 718, SS etc.).
• Education: Diploma OR equivalent vocational training.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication, conflict resolution, and the ability to work under pressure to meet tight deadlines.

Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness): M
• Schedule Adherence:
• Safety Incidents: Zero recordable accidents during the shift.

1. Multi-Axis Synchronization & Logic

• Sub-Spindle Management:
• Balanced Cutting:
• C & Y Axis Programming: Expert-level understanding of polar coordinate interpolation (G12.1/G112) and cylindrical interpolation (G07.1) for milling features on a turned diameter.

2. Tooling & Work holding Sophistication

• Live Tooling Optimization: Deep knowledge of driven tool holders (radial and axial) and the maintenance of internal coolant systems for high-pressure through-spindle applications.
• Quick-Change Systems: Experience with modular tooling systems (e.g., Capto, or HSK) to minimize set-up duration.
• Custom Work holding: Proficiency in setting up hydraulic chucks, collet systems.

3. Programming & Simulation

• G-Code Optimization: Ability to manually edit and optimize CAM-generated code at the controller to improve tool life and cycle efficiency.
• Macro Programming: Familiarity with Fanuc Custom Macro B or equivalent for creating probing cycles and automated tool-wear offsets.

4. Metrology & Material Science

• In-Process Probing: Experience utilizing Renishaw (or similar) probes for automated part alignment and tool breakage detection.
• Metallurgy Knowledge: Understanding the machinability of "Exotic" alloys (Inconel, 17-4PH, stainless Steel) and adjusting cutting strategies to prevent work hardening.

"Key Responsibilities" (Technical Focus)

• Setup Reduction: setups to be standardized, documented setup sheets to ensure the first part is "Right First Time."
• Cycle Time Reduction: Analyze existing Turn-Mill programs to identify bottlenecks, utilizing simultaneous milling/turning capabilities to shave seconds off high-volume production.
• Tool Life Tracking: Implement a systematic tool-life management program to predict inserts/drill failures before they impact part quality.

Preferred Software Proficiencies

• CAM: Solid Cam (Mill-Turn module).
• ERP: Experience logging production data and downtime codes, production tracking. Contact [e-mail] M+9880456120 , 9342164916
