Worked in the QA/QC department supporting automotive air-conditioning component quality under technical collaboration with Denso. Implemented lean manufacturing practices (poka-yoke and genchi genbutsu) to reduce customer defects, and drove quality activities such as control charts, process capability work, and process FMEA with RCCA. Performed critical inspections across plastic, rubber, metal, casting, machining and fasteners, maintained 5S, and managed QC reporting using spreadsheets. Also supported vendor improvement, root-cause problem solving, calibration planning, and vendor audits.

Supervised in-house quality activities, including audits for incoming vendor parts and in-house manufactured parts. Resolved customer quality complaints by analyzing issues and suggesting corrective countermeasures, while maintaining 5S in the work area. Prepared and monitored QC tool reports and statistical process control outputs using computer-based reporting. Supported continuous improvement via Kaizen initiatives and ensured awareness of ISO 9001/9002 and ISO 14001 quality system requirements.

Led daily operations and maintenance support for an air-conditioner and heat-exchanger manufacturing plant within the Habib group. Prepared daily and monthly inspection reports using MS Excel, trained team members at different assembly stations, and supported equipment-related balancing machine programming. Conducted in-house audits and critical inspections of air-conditioning parts, while driving Kaizen improvements and maintaining 5S in the work area.

Performed in-house quality inspections for manufactured parts and produced daily and monthly inspection reporting. Trained team members at different assembly stations and contributed to process improvement through Kaizen activities. Maintained 5S practices in the work area and supported balancing machine programming as part of production readiness and quality checks.

Worked as a contractor at a printing press serving multinational clients, supporting maintenance and production-related tasks. Performed maintenance duties including color mixing and printing-related work, and managed shop operations. Also handled refrigerator and air-conditioning maintenance activities as part of on-site responsibilities.

Supported vendor auditing using structured question sets to identify improvement opportunities and define action plans. Participated in planning calibration activities across internal and external calibration resources. Maintained quality system awareness aligned with ISO 9001/9002 and ISO 14001 requirements to support consistent processes.

Managed vendor improvement activities by coordinating corrective actions aimed at stopping defect repetition. Supported RCCA analysis to identify root causes and track corrective outcomes for vendor-side quality. Helped vendors develop stronger quality systems based on improvement plans.

Contributed to manufacturing radiator and condenser heat-exchanger inspection activities. Performed inspection-related quality checks as part of ensuring compliance for critical components. Supported defect prevention and monitoring through established QC practices.

Drove quality improvement work by applying control charts and process capability concepts. Participated in building process FMEA content and used RCCA-style root cause and corrective action analysis to target repeat defects. Helped incorporate identified problems into in-house PFMEA documentation to strengthen preventive controls.

Implemented lean manufacturing practices (poka-yoke and genchi genbutsu) across AC, HE and HB sections to address in-house customer complaints. Supported continuous improvement activities and maintained quality-focused workplace organization practices. Coordinated follow-up within the in-house process to reduce defect recurrence.
