12 Month Industrial Placement with Renishaw under the Manufacturing Services Division, MSD, supporting the Laser Calibration Products Divison, LCPD. The role was based at Renishaw's Woodchester site.The role encompassed a balance of supporting production on a Reactive and Proactive basis, scrutinising each assembly process ensuring maximum quality whilst reducing costs. Throughout my time in this role I was responsible for several projects, utilising several techniques such as GANTT Charts for project planning, Process FMEAs and manipulating SQL test data using Microsoft Excel.After working for Renishaw for 6 months, I became the fully responsible Production Engineer for one of LCPD's highest volume products. With this new reponsibility, I was responsible for producing First Time Pass Rate data and balancing Quality with Cost of manufacture, compiling this data and reporting this to the team's senior Engineer on a Monthly basis. This also meant I was responsible for all coordinating and dealing with reactive issues, ranging from simple tooling damage and software failures, to major supplier/ internal machine shop complications.
