  • Lead investigations into product defects, process deviations, consumer complaints, supplier issues, and recurring manufacturing losses. Apply appropriate root-cause and risk-assessment tools, including 5-Why, fishbone analysis, fault-tree analysis, 8D, and FMEA. Develop corrective and preventive actions, assign ownership, verify implementation, and evaluate effectiveness.
  • Support compliance with applicable FDA and USDA requirements, HACCP and Preventive Controls programs, audit expectations, and internal quality standards.
  • Provide quality oversight for new-product introductions, equipment installations, process changes, and capital projects. Support risk assessments, acceptance criteria, commissioning, qualification, validation, process-capability studies, and post-startup performance verification.
