measurement using the metrology instruments like vernier
caliper, screw gauge, height gauge, slip gauges etc., I
developed my skills in using metrology instruments during C.E.2.3.2, CE
3.3.2
PE 1.2 b my bachelors degree and this made me more familiar in this
area, as I was assigned as a Quality Assurance Engineer in
my work place, I gathered a wide knowledge in the use of
instruments for measuring all the complex dimensions.

I also went through a lot of metrology instruments and

gathered data about the various types instruments available C.E.1.2.2,
and their usage. This gave me an opportunity to have hands C.E.1.3.1.6,

product manufacturing. C.E.3.3.3,
C.E.3.3.4

Ability to utilize a systems approach to complex

PE 2.3
problems and to design and operational performance

When developing a process plan for new quality testing

system, I considered the process time, the way of loading
and unloading, operational parameters, life of the tools and
the features in various machines. Then I selected a machine
which met the desired requirements. I got the commitment of
PE 2.3 a C.E.2.3.3
the machine supplier about the process capability of the
machine. Once the machine arrived to the company,
commissioning was done and I checked the various machine
parameters and the quality of the components produced to
calculate the process capability. Then the machine was
accepted based on my report.

In our daily meetings with the engineers of various

C.E.2.2.2,
departments, we discuss about various issues in our line. As

5
 C.E.2.3.4
a Quality engineer, I was very much concerned about the
quality of the product produced. Before going to meeting I

training and I submitted my reports to my college by
managing deadlines.
In my work place, we had a problem in the finished product.
I analysed the issue and introduced an additional functional
test to ensure that only good components reaches the
customer. Then, I further analysed and found there was C.E-2
PE 2.5 b problem in one of the measuring instrument which was not
consistent. I analysed the instrument and found that there

6
 was oil in the air gauge. I rectified it and the problem was
solved. I made a cleaning schedule for the instrument.
