Complete all work according to the applicable safety requirements and published procedures and make every effort to achieve the production objectives set by management.

Maintain an inventory of mechanical tools needed to perform the work for which the technician is trained and qualified for that are not normally inventoried by the service department as “Special Service Tools.”

Do not ever remove these tools from our shop facility. Report missing, damaged or malfunctioning tools to the manager.
