• Define, deploy, and monitor Quality System KPIs appropriate for start-up as well as sustaining environments, including system maturity, process adherence, corrective action effectiveness, audit performance, and readiness milestones.
• Ensure disciplined deployment of standardized quality system development methodologies and structured problem-solving tools, particularly for systemic issues emerging during early production, new equipment qualification, and process stabilization.
• Drive the execution of Global Quality Systems initiatives across start-up sites, ensuring new operations are architected to global standards rather than retrofitted after launch.
• Develop, coach, and mentor newly formed Site Quality Systems teams at start-up locations, accelerating capability development, clarifying roles and ownership, and building sustainable local system stewardship.
• Ensure start-up site Quality Systems objectives are fully aligned with regional and corporate Quality strategies, supporting certification, customer readiness, and long-term operational scalability.
