o Branch proponent for the creation & implementation of a standardized process to address this necessary practice, and incorporate it into the workflow.
* Identify shortcomings and/or improvement opportunities by, not just performing an assessment limited to the aircraft-system/component but, performing a thorough engineering assessment of the processes, the tools & equipment and the surroundings related to the specific rework-task in which the requested tooling will be directly & indirectly involved (machining, chemical/thermal, NDI/Ts, etc.) allowing to deliver an engineered solution instead of just a stopgap.
* Improve Quality control by thoroughly testing solution for Form Fit & Function (FFF) through all aspects, allowing for [possible] improvement opportunities to be identified & addressed in a timely manner, thus ensuring delivered tooling is efficient, effective & user-friendly.
* Maintain myself up to date on technical language as well as workplace terminology for efficient and effective communication with the client/workforce (technicians, artisans, etc.).
