Regional Quality Managers (Individual Contributor Rolenot managerial) to
develop practical and innovative ways to drive in- process and finished
product quality improvement for Polyurethane pouring and fabrication
products and materials used for specialized medical, technical,
automotive and comfort solutions by leveraging experience in complex
chemical formulations process via:
1. Incorporating VOE, VOC, customer complaint trends, in- process audit
data. into product and process design and equipment selection plan;
to improve formulation and process by working cross functionally
with R & D and foam technology team.
2. Initiating/facilitating operator training and certification program
through effective facilitation and closure of manufacturing quality
issues using robust corrective actions within the parameters of the
quality management system (QMS) and data driven decision making; and
3. Process standardization across the company for core manufacturing
and testing processes.
4. Apply experience creating technical specifications and design of
experiments (DOEs) for foam used in medical, technical, automotive
and comfort industry.
Work closely with Plant Managers & Plant Quality Manager to:
- Improve foam formulation/chemistry and optimize mechanical controls
and devices to achieve the best possible yield with highest quality
of foam to meet regulatory and customer expectations.
- Drive customer focused manufacturing quality improvement projects to
drive out cost of non-conformances, scrap and support realization of
improved performance.
- Implement and assure compliance with the requirements of FXI QMS,
ISO:9001, IATF-16949 at plants in assigned region.
- Prepare advanced quality planning documents and participate in
quality planning activities, including Failure Mode Effect Analysis
(FMEAs),Quality Function Deployment (QFD), production Part Approval
Process (PPAP), calibration, process Flow Diagrams, process control
plans, Control Charts and Gage R&R studies using Minitab software to
improve product specifications and production process.
- Apply understanding of metrology, statistics, and statistical
methods for foam physical properties using Statistical Process
Control (SPC) methods.
- Independently perform testing of foam IFD, Density, airflow,
recovery rate, compression set testing, TB-117 (testing for Federal
and California) and leverage the skillset to train others, using
specialized equipment in the lab.
- Apply experience and ability to read and interpret third party
testing report on CFR1632, CFR1633 and make recommendations to
improve product or process performance.
- Using the key metrics data, develop improvement plan, present it to
plant leadership teams and facilitate implementation.
- Provide quality engineering expertise and utilize specialized skills
learned in chemical formulations and mechanical controls of foam
pouring in large commercial plants in the quality arena.
- Drive corrective and preventive action program, from initiation to
resolution of items to enhance customer satisfaction and meet
regulatory requirements.
- Work closely with plant quality managers to manage and implement
engineering changes, process improvements and new part or product
introductions/launches.
- Deliver results as measured by key metrics including defect rates
parts per million (PPM), returned credits, cost of quality and
corrective action closure, and customer satisfaction.
- Incorporate Lean Methodology into process improvement to improve
product quality.

```
- Apply experience creating and interpreting producti n and quality
dashboards using PowerBI platform to improve production process for
quality of foam parts.
```{=html}
```
- Act as an internal consultant to improve quality and manufacturing
processes for assigned region.
- Ensure material/component specifications exist and are accurate for
all foams and components.
- Work closely with customers and suppliers to resolve quality
opportunities and drive process improvements in a rapidly changing
environment.
- Develop plant/product specific employee training to build quality
awareness.
- Participate in interplant, cross-functional teams to resolve complex
technical problems and customer issues.
- Proficiently apply engineering expertise to enhance foam product
manufacturing across diverse industries, including bedding,
automotive, technical, and engineering sectors.
- Participate in Corporate Quality Audits and Third-party audits by
Amazon, Costco, Apple, HP, SGS, ISO, IATF.
