• Summary

• Wafering Division is divided into three sections Shaping, Sawing and Wet & WINS
• The Shaping Section is divided into three subsections Cropping, Squaring, and Grinding & Inspection.
• The Sawing Section is divided into three subsections Gluing, Wire sawing, and Wire guide roller (WGR).
• The Wet and Wins is divided into three subsections Precleaning, Final Cleaning, and Wafer inspection.

• In Shaping monocrystalline ingot is cropped into segments & shaped into bricks. In sawing the bricks are cut into wafers. In WET & WINS the wafers are finally cleaned & inspected.
• The Shift Engineer (Wafering Operation) will manage equipment status, personnel, consumables, and the overall status of the site in one of the subsections above. Also identify and monitor critical parameters and address factors that impact process control, yield, and throughput. And provide direction, feedback during shift operation and schedule employee shifts and assign duties and new employees training and coaching. Ensure health and safety standards.
• The typical equipment to be handled are Croppers, Squarers, Grinders, Visual Inspection Machines, Gluing, Wire Sawing Machines, Cleaner, Wafering Inspection Machine, CNC Machines etc.
• In the long run its expected that the person develops himself for leading all the three sections individually.

Important Note

• Since Its a start up plant, its expected from the person to stretch beyond normal working hours (as and when required), to resolve teething issues related to start up & do debottlenecking, in order to stabilize the section as per the designed throughput.
