TEF, MFO, BPS Co-op
Department: TEF, MFO
My experience
Overview
In my first rotation (TEF), I worked with developing and improving current processes as well as preparing for new processes. I also worked on smaller day-to-day tasks, such as installing workstations and troubleshooting the production lines. In my second rotation (MFO), I worked with everyday production on the plant floor, including on-the-fly fixes in our assembly lines. The MFO department also designs fixtures and tools to help the operators and reduce lead time. In my third rotation (BPS), I developed fixes for the production lines, including designing parts that make production easier and purchasing new tools for operators to keep the lines running smoothly. I continued a production process release of a project I had started in my first rotation.
Pros
Lots of hands-on experience and machining practice. Management, coworkers, and mentors are great and understanding. Three rotations in the co-op program meant I could continue my long-term projects.
Cons
Some (very few) of the projects worked on were essentially torn apart for scrap pieces or moved to our overflow section on the plant floor.
