First Off Checklist for New Production Part

by Khampasit Maneesang, from the Community

20+

This first off checklist guides teams through a controlled startup of a new production part, especially in injection molding for automotive plastics. It covers verification of material, process settings, and monitoring points; robot program and automation checks; mold heats; water and nozzle integrity; flash, tool marks, and defects; label and part style match; 5S housekeeping; knit line locations; distortion or discoloration; tab integrity; and absence of glass pockets. Includes cycle time tracking and verification steps for Team Lead, Process Tech, and Quality Tech with required signatures and a photo of the mold label.

Last Off Checklist for New Part Production
Use this last off checklist to complete final verification at the end of a production run. Confirm correct materials and MIC color match, validate process settings and monitoring points, check robot programs and automation, ensure mold heats are in auto, and inspect parts for flash, tool marks, distortion, and knit lines. Verify labels, cleanliness to 5S, packaging, and cell layout. Record master versus actual cycle time and capture signatures from team lead, process tech, material processor, and quality tech. Designed for injection molded automotive components, this checklist helps standardize quality, safety, and documentation.

NYX Dimensional, Visual and Cycle Time Discrepancies
This NYX checklist helps manufacturing teams capture dimensional and visual defects and understand their impact on planned cycle time. Log mold and part details, document DOE steps taken to correct issues, and note whether fixes introduced new visual defects or cycle time changes. Record planned versus actual cycle time and key timings including mold close and open, ejection, core movements, part removal by robot, injection, pack and hold, recovery, and cooling. Use it to assign actions and improve quality and throughput.

Process Flow Chart for Injection Molding
This downloadable process flow chart template helps manufacturing teams, especially those in injection molding, visualize and standardize each stage of production. It covers receiving and staging raw materials, pre-drying (if applicable), machine transfer and setup, molding operations, first piece and in-process inspections, secondary processes and packaging, rework, line and dock audits, shipping, and regrind. Use it to clarify responsibilities, streamline handoffs, and ensure critical checks are captured at each step for consistent quality and compliance.

Injection Moulding Tool Trial Report Template V4.0
Use this comprehensive injection moulding tool trial report to document every stage of a tool tryout. Capture resin and press details, mould flow targets, temperatures for barrel, nozzle, hot runner and water zones, and full process inputs including speeds, pressures, transfer positions and clamp force. Log process outputs, cycle time breakdown, shot and part weights, and short shot progression. Track valve gate sequencing and monitoring, part quality observations such as knit lines, sinks, warp, splay and surface defects, and verify tooling against division standards, identification and venting. Include thermal images, spotting, wall stock checks, dry cycle and Opti Check readings. Finish with trial logistics, samples and notes to support final verification.
