# Process Engineering Technician
Process engineering technicians work closely with engineers to evaluate the existing processes and configure manufacturing systems to reduce cost, improve sustainability and develop best practices within the production process.
## Core workflow
1. Apply continuous improvement methods, such as lean manufacturing, to enhance manufacturing quality, reliability, or cost-effectiveness.
2. Design layout of equipment or workspaces to achieve maximum efficiency.
3. Communicate manufacturing capabilities, production schedules, or other information to facilitate production processes.
4. Design, install, or troubleshoot manufacturing equipment.
5. Estimate costs, production times, or staffing requirements for new designs.
6. Evaluate manufactured products according to specifications and quality standards.
7. Investigate or resolve operational problems, such as material use variances or bottlenecks.
8. Prepare documentation for new manufacturing processes or engineering procedures.
