D. Measures and records specified dimensions using CMM's and conventional
equipment to verify dimensional integrity.
E. Prepares and reviews layout reports describing all measurements taken.
F. Compares and analyzes measurements to customer requirements, PCC and
industry standards.
G. Evaluates measurement data with Engineering Departments and identifies
probable causes of deviation.
H. Inspects new and reprocessed tools and fixtures as directed to assure
compliance with dimensional specifications.

Other (Marginal) Job Functions:
I. Conducts source inspections at tooling and fixture vendors; reviews
vendor inspection techniques to verify accuracy and completeness of
vendor layout reports and inspections.
J. Performs fixture calibrations; maintains complete and accurate records
of calibration results.

2. Computer Programming and Applications
Objective: to create inspection programs, routines, macros, files and
reports; to manipulate and direct data files.

Essential Job Functions:
A. Uses low-level computer language and CMM operational codes to create
part inspection programs, routines, data base files and customized
printed reports.
B. Manipulates ASCII and IGES files and directs data transmission to
requesting departments as required.
C. Generates inspection data using Computer Aided Drafting (CAD).
(LSBO and TBO only)
D. Prepares inspection plans and creates automated CMM inspection programs
to inspect parts, wax patterns or fixtures per customer specifications.
E. Documents CMM inspection program output and usage instructions.

3. Safety

Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.

Essential Job Functions:
A. Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
B. Safely operates all equipment and tools.
C. Identifies and reports safety problems.
