Ensuring the availability of the Product History Book and compliance of manufactured products.

Supporting and managing internal NCR (Non-Conformance Reports) using problem-solving methodologies.

Participating in customer inspections and qualifying manufacturing teams for self-inspection.

Performing workstation audits and inspections as required.
