  • Perform color and order changes, including all required line clearance activities, according to the daily production schedule
  • Complete daily PM checklists on assigned machines and perform simple maintenance and processing adjustments to maintain uptime
  • Inspect molded parts visually throughout the shift to verify quality standards are met before parts move downstream
  • Assist in training newer team members within the assigned production area
  • Maintain 5S standards and housekeeping in assigned area; assist with material scanning and movement as needed
  • Follow all LOTO procedures and safety regulations without exception
