This role serves as the primary liaison between the plant and external stakeholders, including customers and suppliers. It supports Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) activities, particularly in developing special characteristics, and ensures compliance with IATF-16949, ISO-9001, and ISO-14001 standards.
Key responsibilities include preparing and tracking PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) submissions, developing and maintaining Manufacturing Quality Plans (MQP), such as pFMEA, Control Plans, and Flow Diagrams. You'll also support the creation of gaging methods and manage process deviations.
A major aspect of the role is daily collaboration with Manufacturing, focusing on problem-solving and continuous quality improvement, including leading monthly scrap reduction meetings and facilitating training on key quality processes like SPC and customer-specific requirements.
The position involves managing Non-Conforming Material (NCM) areas, supporting customer audits, conducting capability studies, and developing visual boundary samples. You'll also contribute to error-proofing (Poka Yoke) efforts and assist with gage maintenance and certification. You will supervise Quality Inspectors under the guidance of the Quality Manager.
