Quality Control Employee

What will you be doing?

Quality assurance is achieved by defining, documenting (manual), implementing, and verifying processes. The results of the verification are reported, and proposals for improvement are initiated.

The QA & QC department takes initiatives to implement legal requirements, industry quality standards within the organization and include them in the quality management system. It ensures that this is guaranteed and that the associated certification is continued. The QC employee mainly works together with the employees, Team Leaders, of the operational departments "GKM" and "Processing".

The focus of the QC employee is mainly on checking established quality parameters of processes and products. Controls are carried out in a structured (planned) manner. In addition, controls are carried out in the context of various types of follow-up orders and improvement projects. In addition to the structural controls, additional controls can be carried out at the discretion of the employee, with the aim of improving the quality of processes and products. The results of the control are directly adjusted and corrected through feedback and re-control. The results of the controls are recorded (digitally) and the data is analyzed (possibly together with other QA/QC colleagues). The results are reported to the operational departments (at the team leader level), and discussions are held on where adjustments are needed. These discussions are led by the QC employee.
