DescriptionRole Purpose
To ensure product quality during the manufacturing process by monitoring, controlling, and improving in-process parameters. The role focuses on defect prevention, process adherence, and real-time quality assurance to achieve zero-defect production.
Key Responsibilities 1. In-Process Quality Control
- Perform stage-wise inspections across production lines (incoming → assembly → final stages).
- Monitor critical process parameters and ensure adherence to SOPs and control plans.
- Conduct patrol inspection and line audits to identify deviations.
- Approve first-off samples and in-process checkpoints.
2. Defect Identification & Control
- Identify defects at early stages and prevent further propagation.
- Implement containment actions for quality issues on the shop floor.
- Maintain rejection, rework, and defect data.
3. Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving
- Perform RCA using tools like:
- Fishbone (Ishikawa)
- 5 Why Analysis
- Pareto Analysis
- Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
- Work closely with production and engineering teams to eliminate recurring issues.
4. Process Quality Assurance
- Ensure adherence to:
- Control Plans
- Process Flow
- Work Instructions
- Validate process changes and engineering modifications.
- Support new product introduction (NPI) and pilot runs.
5. Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain inspection reports, check sheets, and quality logs.
- Track KPIs such as:
- First Pass Yield (FPY)
- In-process rejection rate
- Rework percentage
- Prepare daily/weekly quality reports.
6. Cross-Functional Coordination
- Coordinate with:
- Production
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Supplier Quality
- Support audits (internal / customer / certification).
- Participate in quality improvement initiatives.
7. Compliance & Standards
- Ensure compliance with quality standards like:
- ISO 9001
- IATF (if automotive)
- Follow safety and EHS guidelines on the shop floor.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Reduction in in-process defects
- First Pass Yield (FPY) improvement
- Closure of CAPA within timeline
- Reduction in rework and scrap
- Process adherence compliance
Qualifications & Experience
- B.E./B.Tech / Diploma (Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics)
- 2–8 years of experience in manufacturing quality / IPQC
- Experience in Battery / BESS / Electrical / Electronics manufacturing preferred
