o Coordinate corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to address root causes of quality issues and foster ongoing process improvements.
o Partner with cross-functional teams (Production, Marketing, Supply Chain) to ensure insights gleaned from QC data inform product design, production optimization, and market positioning.
6. Risk Management
o Conduct risk assessments (e.g., FMEA) to identify and address potential hazards, focusing on microbial contamination and manufacturing bottlenecks.
o Implement risk mitigation strategies to uphold product safety and integrity throughout the product life cycle.
7. Team Leadership & Training
