Inspect Products: Quality Inspectors examine products, materials, or components to ensure they meet established quality standards and specifications.
Quality Control: They check for defects, non-conformities, and deviations from the quality standards, and identify issues that could affect product functionality or safety.
Measurement and Testing: Quality Inspectors often use various tools and instruments such as calipers, gauges, micrometers, and testing equipment to measure and test products for accuracy, dimensions, and performance.
Documentation: They maintain detailed records of inspection results, defects, and the corrective actions taken. This documentation is essential for traceability and process improvement.
Sampling and Testing: In some cases, they might perform statistical sampling to evaluate a batch of products, or they may conduct destructive and non-destructive testing to determine the product's integrity.
Communication: Quality Inspectors frequently communicate their findings to other team members, engineers, or supervisors, especially when defects or issues are identified. Clear and concise reporting is essential.
Problem Solving: They may work on identifying root causes of quality issues and collaborate with others to find solutions and prevent recurrence of defects.
Quality Improvement: Quality Inspectors often play a role in continuous improvement efforts by suggesting process improvements and helping implement changes in manufacturing or production processes.
Compliance: Ensure compliance with industry and regulatory standards and quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001).and IATF Documentation.
