Modine Manufacturing Company
Nature and Scope of Position
This position report to the Plant Manufacturing Engineering Manager (or Supervisor) as do the supervisors of Maintenance and the Tool Room.
The incumbent works closely with the above, as well as with outside vendors or contractors on most projects. During the course of some assigned projects, the position works with designated representatives from division manufacturing engineering or group manufacturing services.
The incumbent investigates alternative solutions for given projects, develops cost information for each and, depending on the magnitude of the project, takes it to the phase of execution or recommends the best solution to the department head. The incumbent designs equipment or, when necessary, specifies equipment to satisfy manufacturing needs.
As required by the project, the position writes tool orders and material requisitions and explains the specific needs to tool and material vendors. If tooling work is done internally, the position explains the need to the department supervisor for build or repair of required tooling.
The manufacturing problems that confront the position vary in complexity from a minor change in a manufacturing process to a major modification of an existing facility or the installation of new machinery or equipment. On major projects, such as the set-up of a large or complex piece of equipment authorized for purchase or transferred from another plant, the position works with personnel from division or group headquarters who may be attached for the project. The position contributes to each phase of the installation, set-up, debugging, implementation and training. On a project assignment, the position is the liaison between the plant and division staff.
The position prepares weekly or monthly reports on the status of each assigned project.
