Performance Evidence
read and interpret tool drawings, productivity data, product specifications, materials data, technical information, equipment specifications and instruments/control panels analyse information and data to predict interactions of materials, tooling, equipment and process and their impact on product design and tooling designapply the analysis to make recommendations, including:tooling design/improvementproduct design modifications related to tooling featuresuse analysis and balancing tools, as appropriate, to examine optimum tool design communicate technical information verbally and in writing calculate and interpret statistics, product formulae and process conditions.
