Corrective and Preventive Action

Lead root cause analysis and corrective action investigations for internal defects, customer complaints, supplier issues, and audit findings.
Implement and monitor corrective and preventive actions using methods such as 8D, 5 Whys, fishbone analysis, and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
Verify corrective action effectiveness and prevent recurrence of quality issues.
Analyze scrap, rework, rejection rates, escapes, and warranty or return data to identify systemic problems.
Drive measurable improvements in first-pass yield, process capability, and cost of poor quality.

Implement risk-based thinking, process controls, and preventive measures to improve manufacturing consistency.
Reduce scrap, rework, inspection costs, and nonconformance rates while improving production efficiency.
Use data analytics and trend analysis to identify opportunities for process optimization.
Participate in new product introduction, process validation, production readiness, and manufacturing transfer activities.
