Schedule jobs with consideration for complexity and quality risk (e.g., new or revised parts) to ensure adequate quality oversight.

Ensure compliance with ISO procedures, including first-piece and in-process inspections.

Verify all inspection sheets and documentation are completed correctly.

Prevent material and tool waste while ensuring adequate supplies are on hand.

Track and enter daily welding efficiency data, comparing quoted vs. actual production times.

Provide efficiency reports to the executive leadership team and recommend process improvements.

Robotic Weld Coordination
