• Carry out regular quality walks across production lines to maintain consistent standards.

• Support best-practice methods such as 5S, error-proofing, and standardised work.

• Deliver training and guidance on quality procedures and inspection methods.

• Maintain and update SOPs, quality alerts, and key quality metrics (KPIs).
