Once the job is released into production, DIX Metals’ team of professionals follows a specific sequence of production steps as defined by Job Planning in the job traveler. There are many quality checks that occur during the production process at critical milestones to ensure work is being performed within tolerances. While some jobs may only require one or two production processes, 75 percent of process orders use all three, adding tighter tolerance at every step.

Sawing

Every job starts with an open tolerance. Sawing trims raw stock material down to workable pieces. While not the most refined method of sizing material, it is generally the quickest and least wasteful. Heat/lot numbers are also verified when the material is cut, to ensure the correct material is being used.
