I am still in a hands on position as a Cell Team Leader. I manage a team of ten operators operating a multi strand process line and the Favor 600t power press which we are in the process of training the operators as the line has just had a major refit So we can process aluminum. I have been very involved in this project and I have found it very interesting as I helped commission the original Favor process line back in 1996 when I started with BSD automotive. I work a 3 shift pattern and most weeks I work 7 days a week covering over time and ensuring we keep to our busy schedule. We process press blanks for major car manufactures steel and aluminum 0.50 -3.00mm gauge some to full finish skin outer panel quality level and some general purpose inner panels.
