  • Establish and monitor KPIs related to quality, waste reduction, productivity, customer complaints, and process capability.
  • Facilitate internal audits, customer audits, and third-party certification audits.
  • Partner with Operations and Engineering to improve manufacturing processes, product consistency, and overall equipment effectiveness.
  • Reduce scrap, rework, and production defects through data-driven decision-making.
  • Develop standardized work instructions and quality procedures.
  • Coach, mentor, and develop quality personnel while providing quality training across the organization.
  • Ensure compliance with all food safety, regulatory, customer, and industry standards where applicable.
  • Support new product launches by ensuring robust quality planning and validation processes.
  • Collaborate with suppliers to improve incoming material quality and supplier performance.

Qualifications

  • Proven success leading Continuous Improvement initiatives in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and process improvement methodologies.
  • Experience with Six Sigma tools and statistical problem-solving techniques.
  • Thorough understanding of Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001 and other relevant quality standards).
  • Experience conducting root cause analysis using methodologies such as 5 Why, Fishbone, Pareto Analysis, and FMEA.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret production and quality data.
  • Excellent leadership, coaching, and team development abilities.
  • Outstanding communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Strong organizational and project management capabilities.
