Assigned additional testing as needed when out of control. Dispositioned and/or downgraded product when manufacturing quality limits exceeded quality limits. -Reviewed all printout data, verifying that all data is there and meets quality limits. If missing data, worked with engineering to extract raw data from the equipment to chart out.-Inspected and dispositioned physically nonconforming product.-Certified finished product according to the appropriate specifications that were attached to the sales order.-Reviewed and approved Raw Material blends would meet the intended sales order requirements. -Reviewed and approved production orders would meet order specifications and equipment limitations/restrictions. -Took part in mandatory internal auditing of various processes-Upon a quality escape, performed an 8D or 5Why to identify cause of the issue and implement additional controls to limit future escapes- Upon a customer complaint, performed total review of a shipped product, from the raw material used through the entire production process. This is to reverify that all quality limits were not exceeded, all raw material used is in accordance with any fixed practices that may be applied, and there were no potential issues that were not missed.-Communicated with a primary raw materials vendor, dispositioning nonconforming product. Uploaded and maintained testing data from said customer.-Maintained dataset comparing site lab over check test results compared to RM supplier lab supplied data to monitor if there is a data offset and if there is any drift occurring between the two test sites over time. -Dispositioned various other raw materials according to raw material specification agreements that were agreed upon by the supplier.
