Job description

To oversee and ensure end-to-end quality standards, food safety compliance, and stock accuracy across raw materials, packaging, and finished goods. The Inventory & QA/QC Executive bridges the gap between quality standards and warehouse management—ensuring that all manufactured snack products consistently meet internal specifications, customer expectations, and statutory food safety regulations, while optimizing inventory control and traceability.

Manage customer complaints regarding quality, lead root cause analyses (RCA), and implement Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).

Inspect and test raw ingredients and packaging materials against strict quality criteria before acceptance into inventory.

Conduct real-time quality monitoring on processing lines—including seal integrity checks, net weight control, moisture levels, rancidity/oil quality tests, metal detection, and sensory evaluations.

Sample and approve finished snack lots before release to warehouse or shipping; hold or reject non-conforming batches immediately.

Maintain real-time stock accuracy for raw materials, packaging supplies, rejected/quarantine stock, and finished goods using FIFO/FEFO principles.

Conduct regular physical stock counts, reconcile discrepancies with system records, and investigate variance causes.

Generate weekly and monthly QA/QC performance, scrap rate, stock discrepancy, and audit compliance reports for senior management.
