Analysis of plating and pre-treatment baths

Good day, I am a new graduate of Chemical Engineering Technology and currently working on my first job as a chemical analyst for an electroplating company here in Davao, Philippines. Frankly speaking, this is my first job ever and I am totally new to the concept and I was asked to search for analysis procedures of the different baths involved in zinc plating (degreasing bath, derusting bath, zinc plating bath, chromating bath) Nickel-chrome plating line (nickel plating bath, decorative chrome solutions), Hard Chrome plating bath, powder coaoting pre treatment stage (Conditioning bath and phosphating bath) and hot dip galvanizing fluxing solution).

I will be very thankful for the answers or simple ideas you will share.
