Verify that tooling consistently produces extruded products within required tolerances and quality specifications. Partner with the quality control team to analyze tooling-related production performance and identify improvement opportunities. Clean, visually inspect, and log all incoming tooling from the production floor into the preventative maintenance (PM) system. 4.
