• Use quality data, leading indicators, and trend analysis to escalate risks, focus resources, and drive measurable improvement.
• Be visible on the shop floor and coach teams to translate quality requirements into practical daily behaviors.
• Represent quality in customer-facing discussions, containment reviews, escalation events, and executive operating reviews.
• Support initiatives that improve Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and customer experience across the network.
