Toyota (2008 – 2009) Production Worker
Working on ZZ Engine Block I was responsible for several assembling processes.
I was heavily involved in the continuous precision machining and quality control of car components before and after construction.
Process 1 - Lower Case
- Continuous precision machining and quality checking the lower case, which was added onto the engine block
Process 2 - Map Op and Final Visual
- Extensive visual check of ten lower cases units at a time before merging the lower case on to the block with knock pins
- Once completed I would then add 10 black crank cap bolts and also 10 silver bolts onto where an automated process would secure the full engine block together
Process 3 - CKD Packing
- Prior to this other colleagues would visually check in depth the overall quality of the engine block before it comes to the CKD process
- This process involves recovering the block into position for registration marking via an etching needle for identification purposes
- Once completed I would hoist each block into a module, which holds 16 blocks and prepare for exporting to assigned destinations across the world
All these processors where strictly monitored and had set times for their completion. Each working shift the team would complete maintenance checks on various machine stations. This was to ensure quality and continuous production. We were allocated 30 minutes each day and had to follow set instruction sheets to achieve the above
