1. Daily QC Inspection & Line Control

• Lead and assign QC inspection coverage for A, S, C, and P production lines according to the production plan and shift priorities.
• Verify first-piece/start-up inspection before production continues and ensure required approvals are documented.
• Monitor in-process quality, product appearance, dimensions, weight, printing, packing, and other approved specifications; escalate abnormalities immediately.

2. Non-Conforming Product & Defect Control

• Identify, segregate, label, and control Hold, Reject, Rework, and Released product status to prevent unintended use or shipment.
• Coordinate with Production on containment and immediate corrective action when defects exceed control limits or repeat.
• Support root cause analysis and CAPA follow-up for recurring internal defects and customer complaints.

3. Finished Product Inspection & Release

• Ensure FQC sampling and inspection are completed according to approved methods before product release.
• Verify batch/MFG date, product identity, quantity, packaging condition, and traceability records before release approval.
• Ensure release decisions are supported by complete and accurate inspection records.

4. Team Leadership & Development

• Lead daily QC briefings, assign responsibilities, monitor attendance and performance, and ensure shift handover is clear.
• Train QC team members on inspection methods, defect standards, sampling, measuring tools, SOPs, forms, hygiene, and safety.
• Coach team members to improve inspection consistency, judgment, discipline, and problem-solving.

5. Documentation, SOP & Traceability

• Ensure QC forms, inspection records, testing records, product release records, and defect reports are completed correctly and on time.
• Maintain strong traceability from raw material/batch through production and finished product status.
• Support review and improvement of QA/QC SOPs, work instructions, standards, and inspection forms.

6. Reporting & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Prepare daily quality summaries and provide clear information on defect quantity, waste/recycle impact, open issues, and corrective actions.
• Coordinate with Production, Warehouse & Logistics, Maintenance, and Finance/BD when quality issues affect stock, output, customer delivery, or cost.
• Escalate critical quality risks promptly to the QA/QC Supervisor and management.

7. Safety, 5S & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain 5S and safe working practices in QC areas and enforce proper use and care of measuring equipment.
• Participate in improvement activities to reduce defects, complaints, rework, waste, and repeated quality issues.
