What is mold maker?

I found an interesting article, repost here, make by the guy Suresh
Kumar.

TOOL MAKING in the eyes of different personnel!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(This scenario would probably suit to a large manufacturing plant where
Tooling/Mold making is operated as one of the many departments. And
remember these comments - lighter side of tool making! - are based
purely on my personal experience!)

1. Tool Designer - The most tedious and stressful job and yet no one
appreciates.

2. Tool Maker - The most difficult job in the entire manufacturing
field and an easy target for blame.

3. Development Technician (who does the mold trials) - The Tool Maker
is always suspicious on my testing results and others think that I am
not 'screening' the tools before it's handed over to volume
Production.

4. Molding Production Engineer - The most easiest job and yet not
done (always) properly to run the injection machine uninterruptedly.

5. QA Engineer - This department causes the maximum loss and wastage
for the entire company. They do not understand the fundamentals of
geometrical tolerance or cosmetic requirements and only know how to
'trick' the QA personnel.

6. Product Designer - This department is the fussiest among all and
always asks silly questions.

7. Purchasing Executive - These people have no planning at all for
their job; they do not know what's the forecast for the month or for
the year. And yet force us to treat their purchase requests always as
'Urgent'.

8. CEO - These people always recommend to invest on expensive machine
and people; yet unable to produce good results in terms of quality,
cost and lead-time. The ROI again is a question mark and 'they' are
the least contributor to overall sales. They should learn more from QA
department on what's quality all about.
