• Discuss air flow characteristics and blade efficiencies.
• Implement customer relationship and management (CRM) strategies
• Discuss business planning process using various tools (six-sigma, root-cause analysis, and/or strengths- weaknesses - opportunities - threats (SWOT) methodology.
• Explain inventory control, materials, and supply chain management.
• Assess Human Resource policies, procedures, and documentation.
• Explain contract management, fulfillment, and liability to landowner and manufacturer.
• Discuss wind business policies and procedures.
• Explain atomic structure and basic values such as voltage, current, resistance and power.
• Determine electrical values for combination circuits in direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) containing resistance, inductance, and capacitance.
• Summarize the principles of magnetism.
• Calculate voltage drop based on conductor length, type of material and size.
• Utilize electrical measuring instruments.
• Display competence in principles and operation of basic hydraulic systems.
• Use flow meters and pressure gauges to measure valves and make adjustments.
• Interpret schematics and troubleshoot both open and closed center hydraulic systems.
• Display a systematic approach to troubleshooting.
