To monitor and control product quality during the manufacturing process by conducting in-process inspections, identifying deviations, ensuring adherence to drawings and quality standards, and coordinating with Production to prevent defects and rework.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct in-process inspection of components manufactured through CNC, VMC, HMC, VTL, Grinding and other machining processes.
Inspect components at defined stages according to inspection plans, control plans and engineering drawings.
Verify critical dimensions using:
Vernier Caliper
Outside / Inside Micrometer
Bore Gauge
Height Gauge
Dial Gauge
Depth Gauge
Thread Gauges
Plug & Ring Gauges
Other precision measuring instruments
Interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, GD&T; symbols and datum requirements.
Ensure components are produced within specified dimensional and geometric tolerances.
Perform first-piece inspection and provide clearance before mass production.
Conduct periodic inspections during production to ensure consistent quality.
Identify process deviations, dimensional variations, tool wear and machining defects.
Immediately communicate quality issues to the Production / Machine Shop team.
Stop or hold production when critical quality deviations are identified, as per company procedures.
Prepare and maintain in-process inspection reports and quality records.
Monitor rejection, rework and scrap and assist in identifying their root causes.
Participate in Root Cause Analysis, CAPA and corrective/preventive actions.
Support 7 QC Tools, 5 Why, Fishbone Analysis, Pareto Analysis and basic problem-solving activities.
