​Key points for quality control in mold manufacturing
Time:2023/6/1

1) Effectively manage product data, process data, and drawing documents: effectively manage product data, process data, and drawing documents to ensure the comprehensiveness of files and the consistency of drawing versions; Enable effective sharing and query utilization of drawings. A complete file management computer database can be established to organize and utilize the design drawings, scattered information, and previously scattered and isolated information accumulated by the design department, in order to prevent problems caused by design drawings, 2D and 3D confusion, original, design changes, and maintenance versions confusion, inconsistency between 3D models and 2D drawing data, and non-standard and chaotic 2D drawing designs that are difficult to detect and correct in a timely manner, Causing modifications, rework, or even invalidation of the mold, increasing the manufacturing cost of the mold, prolonging the mold manufacturing production cycle, and affecting the delivery time

2) Maintain the consistency and completeness of mold drawings, processing techniques, and physical data: By effective, meticulous, and rigorous testing methods, ensure the consistency and completeness of mold drawings, processing techniques, and physical data

3) The design and manufacturing costs of each set of mold must be summarized in time: effectively manage the scrapping of tools by effectively controlling the issuance of work vouchers in the workshop; Through accurate mold structure design, efficient mold component processing, and accurate component inspection, the additional costs caused by mold design changes and maintenance will be effectively reduced, thereby obtaining the actual cost of each set of molds and effectively controlling mold quality

4) Overall planning: Organizes and integrates information such as planning, design, processing technology, workshop production status, and human resources to effectively coordinate planning and production, ensuring mold quality and delivering on schedule

5) Develop a complete and practical mold production management system: Develop a complete mold production management system to achieve a computer information management system for product data management, process data management, plan management, and schedule management in the mold production management process, including mold production plan formulation, mold design, process formulation, workshop task allocation and product inspection, warehouse management, etc, Enable comprehensive tracking and management of mold manufacturing and related auxiliary information from planning to completion and delivery

6) Establish a failure mode and impact analysis library: Establish a failure mode and impact analysis library for mold design and manufacturing, and prevent the occurrence of the same problem in the next time through meetings, announcements, computer sharing, bonus and penalty measures. It can also serve as a reference for future quality evaluation and design

7) Establish processing process preparation: Establish processing process preparation, summarize mold parts list, purchased parts list, standard parts list, self-made parts list, self-made standard parts list, material list, heat treatment parts list, vulnerable parts list, and mold cost, to ensure that relevant resources are available in a timely manner. By combining production plan management and progress management, we ensure that relevant equipment can be effectively used, prevent personnel from being idle, and ensure that all processes in processing and manufacturing are interconnected

8) Establish a quality inspection department, strictly regulate testing methods, eliminate the mentality of "similar" luck, and ensure the accuracy of mold processing of various parts. Effectively control the quality of molds, and effectively relate quality to individuals based on previous and subsequent process records. It can enhance the design and operator's sense of responsibility

9) Based on the situation of our company and customers, develop mold design standards and mold design operation instructions that are suitable for our company and customers; Mold manufacturing standards, mold manufacturing operation instructions, standardized mold design and mold manufacturing; To prevent the old mold making thinking from creating molds that do not meet customer requirements due to personal habits

10) Standardize procurement, warehouse and production orders, material entry and exit, tool loss reporting, shipment management, streamline material supply chain, and prevent production disconnection

11) Establish an assessment system, regularly train and assess relevant mold design and manufacturing personnel, and discover and cultivate the company's backbone elite team

12) Standardize the functions of each position, ensure that people fulfill their duties and talents, and prevent overstaffing

13) Establish a follow-up management team for mold projects: establish a communication and supervision bridge between departments such as customer market engineering procurement manufacturing warehouse injection molding, conduct detailed communication and technical aspects, fully understand customer mold technical requirements, record and summarize communication content, and accurately convey it to each department, avoiding repeated, repeated, trial, modification, and rework, thereby saving costs and time. Gradually establish a knowledge base of customer business and technical information for each customer, and share it within the company to improve customer service level and reduce errors. Follow up and supervise the production progress of the mold project, arrange trial molds, follow up on relevant materials, confirm sample testing, send samples, arrange mold delivery, and other matters
