Planning (PLAN):

• Develop and harmonize Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) across all production sites globally to ensure uniformity in quality standards and compliance with international norms.
• Standardize QC processes across factories in China, Hong Kong, India, and Thailand promoting consistency in testing and inspection protocols.

Execution (DO):

• Modernize QC methodologies, integrating data-driven and automated solutions to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
• Shift QC focus from end-of-line inspection to process-oriented quality control, embedding quality into every production stage.
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to integrate QC automation where feasible.
• Design and deliver training programs to upskill QC teams on advanced techniques, tools, and international best practices..

Monitoring (CHECK):

• Monitor QC performance in all production sites through established key performance indicators (KPIs), including statistical process control metrics like Cpk (Process Capability Index), PPM, and defect rates.
• Conduct regular internal audits of QC operations to assess conformity to established standards and identify improvement opportunities.
• Ensure all QC processes comply with international standards and regulations, including ASME, ISO 19443 and customer-specific quality requirements.

Action (ACT):

• Lead continual improvement initiatives in line with QC audit findings and industry best practices.
• Propose and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for non-conformities, leveraging root cause analysis to optimize QC processes.

Reporting:

• Prepare and present comprehensive monthly QC reports for top management, documenting key findings, trends, and areas for improvement in each plant.
• Provide actionable insights and recommendations to enhance product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Production, Automation, Quality Management, or related fields. Master’s degree preferred.
• Minimum of 8-10 years of experience in quality control, production or process & methods in a manufacturing environment.
• Proven track record of managing QC operations in global or multinational settings.
• Fluency in English (mandatory); proficiency in additional languages is a plus.
• Familiarity with QC automation and digital tools is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in data visualization tools like Power BI is an advantage.
• In-depth expertise in modern QC methods, including Statistical Process Control (SPC), Six Sigma tools and methodologies, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Results-oriented mindset with a focus on customer satisfaction and compliance.
• Innovative thinker, capable of driving the adoption of new QC technologies.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple sites and teams effectively.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills to manage cross-functional teams and foster collaboration.
• This role requires international travel (twice a year min to China and India) to oversee and audit QC processes at various production sites.
