Injection molding processing is a 24-hour continuous operation, involving plastic raw materials, injection molds, injection molding machines, peripheral equipment, tooling fixtures, sprays, toners, packaging materials and auxiliary materials, etc. There are many positions and complex division of labor. How to make injection molding Is the production operation of the workshop smooth and achieves "high quality, high efficiency and low consumption"?

Injection molding processing is a 24-hour continuous operation, involving plastic raw materials, injection molds, injection molding machines, peripheral equipment, tooling fixtures, sprays, toners, packaging materials and auxiliary materials, etc. There are many positions and complex division of labor. How to make injection molding Is the production operation of the workshop smooth and achieves "high quality, high efficiency and low consumption"?

It is the goal that every injection molding manager hopes to achieve. How well the injection molding workshop is managed directly affects the injection molding production efficiency, defective rate, material consumption, machine manpower, delivery time and production cost. Injection molding production mainly lies in control and management. Different injection molding managers have different ideological concepts, management styles and working methods, and the benefits they bring to the enterprise are also completely different, or even very different...

The injection molding department is the "leading" department of every enterprise. If the management of the injection molding department is not done well, it will affect the operation of all departments of the enterprise, resulting in quality/delivery failure to meet customer requirements and a decrease in the competitiveness of the enterprise.

The management of the injection molding workshop mainly includes: the management of raw materials/toners/nozzle materials, the management of the scrap room, the management of the batching room, the use and management of the injection molding machine, the use and management of the injection molds, the use and management of tooling fixtures, employees Training and management, production safety management, plastic parts quality management, auxiliary material management, establishment of operating procedures, formulation of rules and regulations/job responsibilities, management of templates/documents, etc.

1. Scientific and reasonable staffing

The injection molding department has a wide range of work matters, and it requires a scientific and reasonable staffing structure to achieve a reasonable division of labor, clear job responsibilities, and achieve a state of "someone is in charge of everything and everyone is in charge." Therefore, the injection molding department needs to have a good organizational structure, a reasonable division of labor and work out the job responsibilities of each position.

two. Ingredients room management

1. Develop the management system and ingredients work guidelines for the batching room;

2. Raw materials, toner, and mixers in the batching room should be placed in separate areas;

3. Raw materials (water-containing materials) must be placed in categories and labeled;

4. Toner should be placed on the toner rack and labeled (toner name, toner number);

5. The mixer must be numbered/identified, and the use, cleaning, and maintenance of the mixer must be done well;

6. Equipped with supplies for cleaning the mixer (air gun, fire water, rags);

7. The prepared materials need to be sealed or tied with a bag sealing machine, and affixed with identification paper (indicate: raw materials, toner number, machine used, batching date, product name/code, batcher, etc.;

8. Use the ingredient board and ingredient notice, and keep records of ingredients;

9. White/light-colored materials need to be mixed with a special mixer and the environment must be kept clean;

10. Provide training to ingredients personnel on business knowledge, job responsibilities and management systems;

3. Management of scrap room

1. Develop a management system for the scrap room and guidelines for scrap work.

2. The nozzle materials in the scrap room need to be classified/distributed in different zones.

3. The crushers need to be separated by partitions to prevent the scraps from splashing out and causing interference.

4. After the crushed material bag is sealed, it must be sealed promptly and labeled with identification paper (indicate: raw material name, color, toner number, crushing date, crusher, etc.).

5. The crusher needs to be numbered/labeled, and the use, lubrication, and maintenance of the crusher must be done well.

6. Regularly check/tighten the fixing screws of the crusher blade.

7. Transparent/white/light-colored nozzle materials need to be crushed on a fixed machine (it is better to separate the scrap material room).

8. When changing the nozzle material of different materials for crushing, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the crusher and blades, and keep the environment clean.

9. Provide labor protection (wearing earplugs, masks, and goggles) and safety production management for shredders.

10. Carry out business training, job responsibility training and management system training for shredders.

4. On-site management of injection molding workshop

1. Do a good job in planning and zoning of the injection molding workshop, reasonably specify the placement areas for machines, peripheral equipment, raw materials, molds, packaging materials, qualified products, defective products, nozzle materials and tools, and mark them clearly.

2. The working status of the injection molding machine needs to be hung with a "status card".

3. "5S" management work at the production site of the injection molding workshop.

4. For "urgent" production, the output of a single shift must be specified and an urgent sign must be hung.

5. Draw a "feeding line" on the drying barrel to specify the feeding time.

6. Do a good job in the use of raw materials, control of the machine position nozzle material and inspection of the amount of waste in the nozzle material.

7. Do a good job in machine inspections during the production process, and increase the enforcement of various rules and regulations (timely movement management). 8. Reasonably arrange machine manpower, and strengthen the inspection/supervision of on-site labor discipline.

8. Make good manpower arrangements and shift handover work for the injection molding department during meal times.

9. Do a good job in cleaning, lubrication, maintenance and handling of abnormal problems of the machine/mold.

10. Follow up and handle exceptions on product quality and production quantity.

11. Inspection and control of post-processing methods and packaging methods of plastic parts.

12. Carry out safety production inspections and eliminate safety hazards.

13. Carry out inspection, recycling and cleaning of machine position templates, process cards, operation instructions and related materials.

14. Strengthen the inspection and supervision of the filling status of various reports and billboards.

5. Management of raw materials/toner/nozzle materials

1. Packaging, labeling and classification of raw materials/toner/nozzle materials.

2. Receipt records of raw materials/toner/nozzle materials.

3. The unpacked raw materials/toner/nozzle materials must be sealed in time.

4. Training on plastic properties and material identification methods.

5. Formulate regulations for the addition ratio of nozzle materials.

6. Develop regulations for the storage (toner rack) and use of toner.

7. Formulate material consumption indicators and regulations for replenishment applications.

8. Regularly take inventory of raw materials/toner/nozzle materials to prevent materials from being lost.
