The Parts & Tooling Coordinator is responsible for ensuring production and maintenance teams have the parts, tooling, supplies, and materials required to maximize machine uptime and throughput.

The primary objective of the role is to support production by eliminating delays caused by missing parts, tooling, supplies, or poor preparation.

A key responsibility is coordinating and staging machine changeover tooling in advance so that adjusters can focus on machine setup and production rather than searching for parts. This role supports the plant’s overall objective of increasing output, reducing downtime, and improving changeover efficiency.

Ink room responsibilities remain part of the role; however, Parts & Tooling Coordination is the primary responsibility.
