Manufacturing Engineer Quality
One of the three original powertrain plant Manufacturing Quality Engineers, with direct team involvement in the development and implementation of the Saturn Production System. Elements of this Saturn Quality System model would later became an internal benchmark that GM used in the creation GM Quality System known as GMS. · Interface Quality communication-Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and Leadership teams · Internal Quality Management System Auditor · PCP develop process control plan inspection methods, specs, and frequencies · QMS at GM (People Involvement, Standardization, Built-In Quality, Short Lead Time, CI) · Quality Gage Plan and Check Sheet development for one best method operator job elements · Kaizen Continuous Improvement SPQRCE development with measurable result metrics · Maintain Quality Procedures, Forms, and Instructions for continuing Registration/Certification · Non conformance containment, review, product interface, disposition rework/scrap procedures · Countermeasure development of interim elements until permanent Quality solution in place · CAR Corrective Action Report creation and tracking · PPAP documentation of new product phases (Engineering Gamma builds to saleable builds) · Root Cause Analysis to reduce PPM levels (5 Why’s- Cause/Effect, IS/IS NOT 16 elements) · Charts (Cause/Effect, Check Sheet, Control, Histogram, Pareto, Scatter, Stratification) · Diagrams (Defect Location, Matrix, Process Tree, Affinity Idea, Relationship Interaction) · Methods (Benchmarking, Cost of Quality, Statistical Data Analysis, Error Proofing, GD&T) · Standardization (Material Flow, Preventive Maintenance, Safety, Workplace 5 S’) · Waste (Correction, Over produce, Motion, Material movement, Waiting, Inventory, Process) · Trainer for team members in Quality System Awareness and requirements
