In the production process, the person responsible for the technical office is the professional who applies flexible production systems and product quality verification techniques. The objective of this position is to optimise the production process. Use SMED techniques (Single Minute Exchange of Die) of rapid utensil changes, in relation to flexible production systems. The application of these techniques is designed to reduce the preparation time of machines and tools, including from the manufacture of the last valid piece of a series up one until the acquisition of the first correct piece of the next series. In terms of quality verification, Poka-Yoke techniques are used that allow the prevention of human errors, and to detect and delete flawed pieces in an intermediate point of the production phase. Production costs are reduced with these techniques, given that they allow for the detection and subsequent deletion of flawed pieces in an intermediate point of the production phase. In this way, faulty parts are eliminated from the production process, which ensures the quality of pieces and has an impact on consumer satisfaction, and minimises the expenses of the process. In the aeronautic sector, the reduced dimensions of production batches and the complexity of the preparation or parameterisation of machines give vital importance to the optimisation of the preparation process and to this occupation.

• Manage staff in the department of technical branch of the company.
• Design manufacturing processes for aeronautical products. In general, production is in small batches that can be repeated a certain number of times over a long time period.
• Manage product quality according to the ISO / 9000 family of regulations.
• Analyse environmental impacts according to the ISO / 14000 regulatory family and other regulations specific to the aeronautical sector.
• Assess and support production areas in the implementation of quality techniques and improvements in production processes.

Technician

People who show an interest in the technical field find fulfilment in carrying out activities related to the design and manufacture of objects, machines, vehicles and/or infrastructures. These activities require the application of scientific and technical knowledge (laws of physics, calculations and mathematical formulas, properties of the materials, etc). Creativity is also necessary when coming up with optimal solutions for the functional requirements of the products to be designed. Therefore, the pragmatic application of scientific knowledge in order to develop solutions for the benefit of human beings is the main function of occupations in the technical field.
