- Partner with Operations and IT & Business Transformation to align field process documentation with existing systems (ex. OneVizion, NetSuite, and related field platforms) so documented process reflects how the systems work

- Establish a review cadence and workflow to keep field process documentation current and unambiguously retrievable as systems, equipment, and regulatory requirements change
Quality Training and Improvement - Document measurement strategies and reporting definitions around field quality: defects, rework, non-conformance for both internal labor and sub-contractors / vendor partners
