Report to your senior crew chief, with recommendations, on any personnel problems that cannot be resolved satisfactorily within the crew, and recommend disciplinary action where needed. Assist your senior crew chief, as requested, in evaluating non-routine work cards for parts, man-hours and span time, and indicate corrective action. Monitor work progress continuously and keep your senior crew chief apprised of status, particularly on jobs that are off schedule. Assist your senior crew chief in preparing shift status and change-over reports.
