- Serve as the internal authority on quality standards, requirements, and compliance obligations
- Quality controls

- Establish customer complaint handling with CAPA linkage; evaluate measurement system adequacy (MSA/GR&R)
- Quality engineering
- Embed in product development: design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA, quality gates, and process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Drive SPC adoption and structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa) on critical processes
- Own the long-term certification roadmap — assess emerging requirements and leverage the QMS foundation to add standards without duplicating systems
- Champion quality culture — provide training, coach teams on tools and standards, foster source ownership.
