• Participate in internal and external audits, providing necessary documentation and reports.
• Manage deviations in production schedules (e.g., due to QC delays or machine breakdowns) by developing and implementing mitigation plans.

Data Analysis and Reporting:

• Track and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) such as production adherence, on-time delivery rates, inventory turnover ratio, and material waste reduction.
