Description of the profession:

A machine operator is a skilled worker who manufactures various parts for repair on special machines. in the mining and metallurgical industry, metal parts are mainly used. There are many specializations of the machine operator: a turner, a milling machine operator, a driller, a gear cutter, etc. are the most common.
A turner is a specialist who produces parts on a lathe, i.e. machine, where the main rotary movement is carried out, as a rule, by the workpiece. manufactures mostly cylindrical parts.
A milling cutter is a specialist who manufactures parts on a milling machine, where the main rotational movement is performed by the tool. processes mainly flat and shaped surfaces.

Differences between professions operations performed on machine tools: chopping, cutting, grooving, etc. will be performed on CNC machines. the transformation of the profession will take place in the following: machine operator: made a decision at the point of interaction between the tool and the workpiece. carried out interaction. operator: at the point of contact between the tool and the workpiece, all decisions will be made by the automation. selects and / or creates workpiece programs.

Trigger:

replacement of at least 30% of hand-operated machines with cnc machines.

Over-professional skills

Lean manufacturing is an enterprise management concept based on the constant search, reduction or elimination of losses. Losses are understood to mean those actions, processes or operations that consume resources (human, temporary, material, etc.), but do not add value to the end or intermediate consumer.

Lean manufacturing changes the approach to managing the enterprise’s efficiency from extensive (working more and faster) to intensive (working more efficiently, that is, doing only what is necessary and not doing what can be done without).

Professionals with lean competencies will be able to increase the efficiency of departments or enterprises as a whole without attracting large investments. The relevance of lean management methods is growing because traditional management methods have already reached their peak, further business development will increasingly focus on intensive development and lean improvement methods.
