Primarily responsible :

Site-Focused Tactical Supplier Responsibility

  • Manage tactical supplier responsibilities at the site level, ensuring supplier performance aligns with immediate operational and quality requirements in QII, Manufacturing, and Field Service.

Immediate Quality Assurance and Operational Support

  • Ensure immediate quality requirements are met by identifying and mitigating supply quality risks, addressing Qnotes, and focusing on MRB processes to reduce scrap and minimize operational disruptions.
  • Key Activities in Supplier Management

  • Lead small-scale improvement projects with suppliers.
  • Manage day-to-day supplier communication and relationships.
  • Support supplier evaluations and drive compliance to quality standards.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Foster collaboration with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Operational Procurement, installation and service, SQMs, and other Subject Matter Experts to ensure operational efficiency and problem resolution.
  • Supplier Performance Monitoring and Improvement

  • Use tools like the PQ / SQ Dashboard to track supplier performance metrics, such as Qnotes turnaround, and implement targeted actions to achieve measurable improvements in supplier quality.
  • Core Competencies

  • Enhance Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Build strong partnerships with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Service, and Procurement teams (Strategic AND Operational).
  • For assigned parts and suppliers, engage in New Product Introduction (NPI) processes with PLM and SCM to ensure Varian requirements are (using QATS tools) manufacturable, and the supplier's feedback on the Varian specification is reviewed and dispositioned in the NPI phase (or earlier)
  • Maintain onsite presence to strengthen relationships with cross-functional team members.
  • Partner with internal customers to address supplier quality issues promptly. As appropriate participate in daily AVM meetings, and ensure timely resolution of non-conformities, MRB support, Qnotes dispositions, and NPI deliverables.
  • Collaborate with suppliers to ensure adherence to material specifications and quality requirements.
  • Support QII with First Article Inspections and development of Inspection Plans.
  • Work with Engineering and Suppliers to define clear specifications, CTX attributes, and material acceptance criteria using proactive quality planning, emphasizing manufacturability and reliability.
  • Partner with R&D, Design Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering to engage suppliers early in the NPI process and provide DFM feedback to improve designs.
  • Communication of Escalated or Emerging Issues

  • Keep Management and Operational Teams informed of any escalated or emerging supply chain and operational risks.
  • Work with the service team to review field data, and ensure parts are returned and analyzed by the supplier (where appropriate) to define clear root cause and corrective action to improve both factory AND field performance.
  • Provide regular, clear, and evidence-based updates, including key findings, root causes, actions taken, mitigations, and recommendations, using approved templates where applicable.
  • Ensure consistent communication to convey status updates and highlight any needs for support or additional resources.
  • Reduce Supplier Quality Issues Impacting Manufacturing, Installation and Service

  • Be the Varian Subject Matter Expert on assigned suppliers processes to ensure a full understanding of the potential risks and rapid resolution of part non-conformances at the supplier.
  • Minimize supplier quality problems affecting manufacturing operations, installation and service operations and customers, and other parts of the Varian business.
  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for immediate quality concerns.
  • Ensure timely execution and closure of the SCAR process while driving continuous improvement initiatives and supporting SQM with Supplier Development Plans.
  • Follow up on open supplier issues to ensure effective resolution with all stakeholders.
  • Actively manage and coordinate SCN with relevant departments to maintain quality and compliance.
  • Lead QATS Implementation with Targeted Suppliers

  • Drive increased part acceptance through QATS criteria and data review, ensuring supplier parts fully meet Varian requirements . This will require the SQE to engage with suppliers on the Varian QATS tools and KPI's to ensure proactive supplier engagement on compliance to Varian specifications and requirements. Tools include PFMEA, SPC, MSA, Cpk analysis, Control Plans. More may be added as the QATS program is maturing.
  • Improve QII efficiency by reducing the need for Varian inspections and shifting supplier incoming materials from inspection to data review.
  • Identify targeted suppliers with high-risk or failing parts, or low-risk parts suitable for data review, and conduct necessary reviews, alignments, risk managements, MSA studies, and validations to implement quality at the source.
  • Collaborate closely with suppliers to ensure their processes meet design specifications and quality standards through effective internal process controls.
  • Reduce Warranty and Non-Conformance Costs

  • Drive initiatives to lower overall quality costs.
  • Analyze warranty and non-conformance expenses, identify root causes, and implement targeted action plans to address and resolve issues.
