• Create mechanisms to share lessons learned and prevent repeat issues across facilities.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to reduce scrap, rework, defects, waste, and Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ).
• Use quality and operational data to identify the largest opportunities for improvement.
• Support plant locations in developing measurable improvement plans and tracking results.
• Identify recurring issues across locations and drive regional countermeasures.
• Partner with Operations and Engineering to eliminate quality-related process waste.
• Spend significant time at plant locations assessing processes and supporting improvement activity.
• Provide hands-on support for significant quality or manufacturing issues.
• Assist plants with customer complaints, containment, corrective actions, and systemic quality issues.
• Support APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, MSA, and Layered Process Audits where needed.
• Help underperforming sites establish disciplined quality improvement plans.
