Review and evaluate nonconforming materials, parts, components, and assemblies through the MRB process. Review and process NCR/ QN and other nonconformance documentation. Coordinate and discuss quality issues with all relevant stakeholders, including Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Inspection, Supplier Quality, Procurement, Planning, Operations, and other functions. Physically inspect nonconforming parts when required to understand the actual defect/condition and support technical evaluation. Review engineering drawings, specifications, inspection reports, dimensional results, and other technical documentation. Strongly understand and interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T requirements. Evaluate nonconformances for potential impact on form, fit, function, performance, manufacturability, assembly, and downstream operations. Coordinate with Engineering and other stakeholders to support appropriate MRB dispositions such as Use-As-Is, Rework, Repair, Return to Vendor, and Scrap, in accordance with applicable authorization requirements. Organize and conduct regular Quality Clinic meetings with relevant stakeholders. Present and discuss open nonconformances, recurring defects, aging issues, and critical quality concerns during Quality Clinic meetings. Track Quality Clinic action items, responsible stakeholders, target dates, and follow up until closure. Drive timely closure of MRB/NCR/QN and aging quality issues. Perform or support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective/Preventive Actions using 5-Why, Fishbone, 8D, or similar methodologies. Analyze recurring defects and quality trends and support actions to reduce rejection, rework, and scrap. Support First Article Inspection (FAI/FAIR) activities when required. Maintain appropriate MRB documentation, approvals, supporting evidence, and traceability. Understand, adopt, implement, and consistently follow all applicable Quality, MRB, Engineering, Manufacturing, and customer-defined processes and procedures. Support implementation of new/revised processes and identify opportunities for process improvement. Participate in internal, customer, and regulatory quality audits as required. Escalate critical or aging quality issues to appropriate stakeholders when necessary.
