In my previous role, I discovered a batch of products that did not meet our quality standards during a routine inspection. I immediately flagged the issue to my supervisor and initiated a recall process. We worked closely with the production team to identify the root cause, which was a malfunctioning machine. We repaired the machine and implemented additional quality checks to prevent future occurrences. This experience taught me the importance of proactive monitoring and swift action to maintain high standards.

I prioritize tasks based on the severity of the issue and its impact on customer satisfaction and safety. For example, if a product defect could lead to a safety hazard, it would take precedence over a cosmetic issue. I also consider the urgency of customer complaints and the potential for reputational damage. Using a risk assessment matrix helps me categorize issues and allocate resources effectively to address the most critical concerns first.

I believe in the importance of data-driven decision-making. I regularly analyze quality metrics and performance indicators to identify trends and areas for improvement. I also encourage a culture of feedback by regularly engaging with team members and stakeholders to gather insights. Implementing Lean and Six Sigma methodologies helps streamline processes and reduce waste. Additionally, I stay updated on industry best practices and regulatory changes to ensure our processes remain robust and compliant.

I have extensive experience with ISO 9001 and other QMS standards. I ensure compliance by conducting regular audits and maintaining thorough documentation of all quality processes. I also provide training to team members to ensure they understand and adhere to the QMS requirements. In my previous role, I led the successful certification of our QMS, which involved coordinating with multiple departments and external auditors. This experience has equipped me with the skills to manage and improve QMS effectively.
