• Influence decisions, clarify priorities, and help teams move complex issues to resolution.
• Own or support customer complaint response, fast response, SPPS, containment, breakpoint verification, outside sort coordination, and escalation of suspect material or emerging issues.
• Maintain focus on PPAP, PTR, breakpoint management, customer communications, SQMS submissions, and on-time quality approvals that protect the customer and the plant.
• Facilitate gap, scrap, alarm, and continuous improvement reviews using Pareto, metrics, and problem-solving tools to improve plant quality performance.
• Participate in and influence change management through CIB and related review processes, ensuring items are understood, assigned, verified, and executed correctly.
• Maintain strong adherence to BIQ, site procedures, customer-specific requirements, the Global Quality Manual, and AIAG core tools including PPAP, MSA, SPC, PFMEA, and APQP.
• Identify key operations and support quarterly reviews of process control plans, PFMEAs, process documentation, and capability performance.
• Prioritize daily plant issues quickly and thoughtfully, balancing customer, supplier, production, and quality system demands.
• Escalate concerns early, speak candidly about risk, and keep teams focused on facts, solutions, and execution.
• Work safely and reinforce a strong safety mindset through safety talks, focus tours, required training, and disciplined adherence to plant policies and procedures.
• Maintain document control, ILM awareness, gage disposition discipline, and audit readiness in support of compliance and quality system integrity.
