I perform and oversee activities concerned with developing, applying, and maintaining quality standards for processing materials into finished products. When manufacturing or customer concerns arise, I analyze the problem and recommend corrective actions and solutions for continuous improvement. I review customer purchase orders, specifications, and engineering design documentation to determine customer requirements. I review and approve purchase orders and manufacturing orders. I participate in Material Review Boards, develop and initiate methods and procedures for inspection, testing, and evaluation. Additionally, I provide commercial-grade dedication, review, and acceptance of supplier quality procedures and certified material test reports to ensure compliance with ASME/CMS/ISO requirements.
