Job description Roles and Responsibilites 1. Quality Planning and Control Develop Quality Plans : Create detailed quality control plans for each casting project, including critical checkpoints and tests. Define Quality Standards : Establish quality standards and inspection criteria for raw materials, in-process components, and finished castings. Monitor Compliance : Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) and client-specific quality requirements. 2. Process Monitoring and Improvement Oversee Casting Processes : Monitor key casting parameters (like temperature, pressure, and time) to ensure they fall within required limits. Implement Statistical Process Control (SPC) : Use SPC tools to monitor production data and identify trends or deviations. Continuous Improvement Initiatives : Lead continuous improvement projects, such as Six Sigma or Lean initiatives, to reduce waste and improve quality. 3. Inspection and Testing Conduct Inspections : Perform dimensional, visual, and functional inspections on cast products to ensure they meet specifications. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) : Supervise or conduct NDT methods (like ultrasonic, radiographic, and dye penetrant testing) to check for internal defects. Material Testing : Verify that materials meet strength, hardness, and other physical property requirements. 4. Defect Analysis and Root Cause Investigation Analyze Defects : Identify, categorize, and analyze defects or failures in cast products, such as porosity, shrinkage, or inclusions. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) : Perform RCA to determine why defects occur and develop corrective actions to prevent recurrence (using methods like Fishbone Diagram or 5 Whys). Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) : Develop CAPA based on RCA findings and monitor the effectiveness of implemented solutions. 5. Documentation and Reporting Maintain Quality Records : Document quality inspection reports, test results, and corrective actions taken. Prepare Quality Reports : Compile and present quality performance reports for management, including KPI tracking (e.g., defect rates, yield rates). Support Audits : Assist in internal and external audits by providing necessary documentation and evidence of compliance. 6. Supplier Quality Management Supplier Audits and Assessments : Evaluate and audit suppliers to ensure they meet required quality standards for raw materials and components. Collaborate on Quality Standards : Work with suppliers to establish and maintain quality standards, monitor performance, and address any quality issues. Supplier Quality Improvement : Drive improvement initiatives with suppliers to enhance incoming material quality and reduce defects. 7. Customer Interaction and Issue Resolution Handle Quality Concerns : Address customer complaints related to casting quality, investigate issues, and implement corrective actions. Coordinate with Clients : Communicate with clients to understand quality expectations, provide updates on quality status, and gain feedback. Support Quality Assurance in New Product Development : Work with customers during the design phase to align on quality and process requirements. 8. Training and Mentorship Train Production Staff : Educate operators and production team members on quality standards, best practices, and defect prevention. Quality Awareness Programs : Promote a culture of quality within the organization by organizing quality awareness programs and workshops. Key Skills Required Knowledge of casting processes and materials (such as sand casting, die casting, or investment casting) Proficiency in quality tools (e.g., SPC, FMEA, MSA, CAPA) Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for defect analysis and RCA Experience with inspection techniques and NDT methods Familiarity with industry standards (like ISO 9001, ASTM standards) Communication and collaboration skills for working with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and clients Job Types: Full-time, Permanent, Fresher Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹35,000.00 per month Benefits: Health insurance Paid sick time Paid time off Provident Fund Schedule: Day shift Morning shift Rotational shift Work Location: In person
