PROCEDURE
6.1.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
6.1.1.
Production Supervision in conjunction with Set Up Personnel shall be
primarily responsible for identifying maintenance needs for all production
tooling utilized during (COMPANY)’s Stamping and Fabrication
Operations.
6.1.1.1. In the case of Stamping Operations this responsibility shall
be extended to the Tool Room personnel who are
responsible for performing the tooling maintenance and
repair activities.
6.1.1.2. In the case of Fabrication Operations a procedure shall be
established for the maintenance and repair of (COMPANY)’s
Fabrication Tooling.
6.1.2.
There shall be four primary ways to determine the maintenance & repair
requirements for tooling utilized during (COMPANY)’s Stamping
Operations.
6.1.2.1. The preventive maintenance requirements (if any)
established by the Production Planning Team shall be
established via the Set-Up Instructions on the Job Router for
those tools required for that operation.
Typically the
instruction is to have the tool room perform some action
either before set up or after so many cycles of the press
during production.
6.1.2.2. Production Supervision or Set-Up Personnel shall identify
routine maintenance requirements during the teardown of a
production run (see The Red & Green Tag – Tool
Maintenance System below).
6.1.2.3. QC Personnel shall identify maintenance and/or repair issues
during First Piece, In-Process, & Last Piece Inspection by
generating and processing a Die Repair Ticket (see
applicable section below).

6.1.2.4. Tool Room Personnel shall identify maintenance and/or
repair issues while performing maintenance and/or repair per
the above methods.
6.2.
The Red & Green Tag - Tool Maintenance System
NOTE: This System shall primarily be utilized for Dies used in the Stamping
Operations. It shall also be utilized in the maintenance of Tooling and
Inspection Fixtures when scheduling the maintenance and repair is
crucial to meeting production requirements.
6.2.1.
Production Supervision and Set-Up Personnel shall use the Red & Green
Tag - Tool Maintenance System during the teardown of production jobs.
6.2.1.1. The Red Tag, Tooling Inspection Requested, shall be
generated when a maintenance concern is identified during
the teardown of the Production Job. Maintenance items are
typically determined either by a visual examination of the
tooling and/or a visual examination of the last production part
(strip in the case of progressive stamping dies).
6.2.1.1.1. The last production part shall be
submitted to QC for Last Piece Inspection
(see PQC013).
6.2.1.1.2. In the case of progressive stamping dies
the last production strip shall be kept with
the die until pulled for the next production
run.
6.2.1.2. The Red Tag shall be placed on the specified tool as a visual
maintenance status of the tool, to remind Production
Supervision that the tool needs to be evaluated and/or
worked on by the Tool Room prior to setting up for the next
production run.
6.2.1.3. The Green Tag, Tooling Release, shall be generated by
Production Supervision and/or Set-Up Personnel when the
visual examination of the tooling and last production piece do
not show any maintenance needs during the teardown of the
production job.
6.2.1.4. The Green Tag shall be placed on the specified tool as a
visual maintenance status of the tool, indicating that the tool
does not need to be evaluated by the Tool Room for
maintenance and/or repairs prior to the next Set-Up for
production.

6.2.2.
DATE EFFECTIVE: 02/26/01
Tool Room Personnel shall use the Red & Green Tag – Tool
Maintenance System during their routine maintenance and repair
activities.
6.2.2.1. In the case where the tool is being inspected per the Red
Tag generated by Production Supervision and/or the Set-Up
Personnel, the Tool Room Personnel shall generate a Green
Tag indicating that the maintenance items have been
evaluated and the appropriate actions have been taken to
allow the tool to be utilized in production.
6.2.2.1.1. The Green Tag shall be placed on the
specified tool as a visual status of the
tool’s readiness for production.
6.2.2.1.2. If there are further maintenance issues
identified and they do not need to be
performed during this maintenance and/or
repair activity, then the Tool Room
Personnel shall make note of the
maintenance items to be worked on after
the production run.
6.3.
The Die Repair Ticket – Tool Maintenance & Repair System
6.3.1.
The Tool Room receives a Die Repair Ticket from Quality Control or
Production when either function determines that repair or maintenance of
the tool is required.
6.3.2.
Die Repair Tickets are routed as follows:
White Copy
 Inspector (QC)
Yellow Copy
 Tool Room ((COMPANY) Die Repair Data when
completed)
