Capability studies
Often if not always, I have worked within very loose guidelines with respect to my duties and job
description. I have worked as an Inspector while also being in charge of “Release to Production” as well as
machine programming, as you can see the years overlap a bit. My general attitude about problems is “How
can we” not “No we can’t” so I work best with positive people.
