Description
Role Purpose
To ensure product quality during the manufacturing process by monitoring, controlling, and improving in-process parameters. The role focuses on defect prevention, process adherence, and real-time quality assurance to achieve zero-defect production.
Key Responsibilities 1. In-Process Quality Control
- Perform stage-wise inspections across production lines (incoming → assembly → final stages).
- Monitor critical process parameters and ensure adherence to SOPs and control plans.
- Conduct patrol inspection and line audits to identify deviations.
- Approve first-off samples and in-process checkpoints.
2. Defect Identification & Control
- Identify defects at early stages and prevent further propagation.
- Implement containment actions for quality issues on the shop floor.
- Maintain rejection, rework, and defect data.
3. Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving
- Perform RCA using tools like:
- Fishbone (Ishikawa)
- 5 Why Analysis
- Pareto Analysis
- Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
- Work closely with production and engineering teams to eliminate recurring issues.
4. Process Quality Assurance
- Ensure adherence to:
- Control Plans
- Process Flow
- Work Instructions
- Validate process changes and engineering modifications.
- Support current product introduction (NPI) and pilot runs.
