Punch and Die Room
- Take inventory every week and turn it into supervisor

- Take units apart that have been returned from the cutting department. Remove punch sleeve and clean unit and put on the shelf in its proper place. Take sleeve and insert a new oblong punch and try it both directions to see if the sleeve needs reworked. If the sleeve is beyond repair throw it in a scrap bin and write it down on inventory sheet to be replaced

- Check tool room to see if any orders have come in on UPS and put up on shelves in proper place
- Any damaged punches, die buttons or units have to be reported to supervisor, with an explanation on how the punch, die button or unit got damages. This is so that we can take steps to keep it from happening again
- Check with supervisor to get a list of parts to be produced that day, so that the units can be set up and ready to go to the cutting department to be set up on machines. Put setups together and mark with part number so that the set-up man will know which units go together
- At the end of the day, check cutting department for any units not in use and return then to the punch room
