• Ensuring supplier nonconformities are managed effectively, from containment actions to root cause analysis and corrective measures.
• Managing and developing the site’s Industrial Quality and Supplier Quality teams, including budgeting, performance management, and training plans.
• Preparing and providing site reporting based on defined KPIs and driving teams and suppliers to meet assigned targets.
