Does the tool or process produce an object or part that meets all of the design specifications given in the plans? Does the tool or process selected have the precision required for the product? Does the tool or process selected meet the required production rate of the job?IT2085Determining The Proper ToolIs the tool or process economical? In other words, is the per-unit cost of the process low enough to do the job profitably? Does the selected tool or process meet the social or j environmental requirements, and are the resulting environmental costs small enough to justify using the process? Will the tool or process be available when it is needed? Is a trained operator required for the process? If so, will one be available when
