To ensure compliance with internal and external specifications and standards, it is important to prepare and execute internal audits. Additionally, reviewing and approving internal documents in accordance with established processes and procedures is essential. Performing lab audits and workbench certifications is necessary to maintain compliance with internal standards. Preparing and delivering inspection and audit reports to Quality management helps ensure that quality objectives are met. Addressing process and product non-conformance through reports and corrective actions is another key responsibility. Collecting and reporting metrics can identify areas for improvement.
