You will need to speak to other departments to ensure that the plan will work and your customers are updated with any changes as this will effect the delivery dates of components made
Quality Engineering (Metrology)
Quality is where we check each component is visibly correct before it is then compared to a mathematically perfect specification. Any part that is found to be outside these requirements that cannot be easily corrected is simply discarded and the whole process starts again
Quality Engineers and Technicians work in a Quality Lab, where there is a mix of hands-on work such as measuring components, and computer-based work
Production Engineering:
Production Engineering is made up of a team of Production Engineers who support the machining and assembly departments
The Production Engineers will provide technical expertise, help with problems on the machines, diagnose and solve problems, ensuring that the machines that make our products are working smoothly and efficiently. We have a wide variety of CNC machines with Fanuc and Heidenhain controls which are operated by our highly skilled CNC setter operators
Production Engineers work on the shop floor and also at a desk with a computer
