• To plan daily visits to machine shop to understand and improve casting rework and rejection
• To plan and present Quality Improvements on Rejection, Rework and Yield Improvement
• To standardize, review and control the process parameters
• To review and design methoding of new products
• To co-ordinate and support to pattern shop in new pattern designing and manufacturing
• To review and suggest product design changes suitable to improve casting quality
• To able to make 3D methoding to incorporate the same in tooling manufacturing or 3D printing
