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

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.

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.

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. Drive increased part acceptance through QATS criteria and data review, ensuring supplier parts fully meet Varian 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. 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.
