including flow hesitation, jetting, sinks, warp, blush, splay, burns, voids, and dimensional instability.\nCorrelate defects to material condition (moisture, degradation), mold design (venting, cooling, gating), and machine dynamics (pressure response, screw recovery).\nUse DOE, cavity pressure trends, and SPC data to drive permanent solutions\nPartner with Tool Room and Maintenance to optimize cooling circuit performance, venting and gas evacuation, ejection and part release.\nSupport mold trials, steel-safe changes, and new tool introductions.\nEnsure molds are technically capable
