Executing and coordinating Layered Process Audits (LPA) on the shop floor. Identifying, segregating, labeling and blocking non-conforming products. Managing containment actions, including quarantine, sorting, re-inspection, rework verification and controlled release. Creating and managing Nonconformity Reports (NCRs) and providing clear input for root-cause analyses and 8D activities. Using measuring and test equipment correctly and ensuring equipment is within calibration. Supporting compliance with IATF 16949 and ISO 14001.
