• Production Escalation Response: Serve as the first point of contact for quality issues raised by assemblers, assessing the part at the station and determining immediate containment.
• Issue Triage: Determine whether an escalation is resolved on the floor or requires engineering support, and coordinate the path forward with the relevant team.
• Dimensional Verification: Verify dimensions using precision measuring tools including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and dial indicators.
• Drawing Interpretation: Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and specifications to establish inspection criteria.
• Material Disposition: Place nonconforming material on quality hold and route to MRB with supporting measurement data.
• MRB Participation: Participate in weekly material review board meetings and present dispositions for open quality holds.
• Documentation: Maintain inspection records, measurement data, and quality documentation in the company’s MES and ERP systems.
