[QUALITY ASSURANCE & FIELD SUPPORT]
o Conduct daily quality checks at critical stages (CS1, Pullover, MST) with a focus on upper and component application.
o Verify material and pattern compatibility before assembly (especially heel counter, collar lining, and toe puff).
o Detect and report quality risks early to prevent X-ray failures, wrinkles, and lasting issues.
[PATTERN & MATERIAL VALIDATION SUPPORT]
o Assist in cross-checking that all new materials have corresponding pattern updates (stretch, thickness considered).
o Track pattern version control and record any deviations or risks found during trial stages.
o Work closely with the Pattern and Commo teams to ensure proper material application.
[ISSUE MANAGEMENT & REPORTING]
o Build and maintain a daily defect tracking log including cause analysis (material, pattern, workmanship).
o Support RCA (Root Cause Analysis) and propose corrective actions for repeated failures.
o Prepare summary reports on defects, inspection results, and improvement suggestions for Supervisor review.
o Support data analysis (rework rate, defect trends) to identify improvement opportunities.
[TEAM COORDINATION & COMMUNICATION]
o Facilitate daily communication with Pattern, Upper, Commo, and QA teams regarding detected issues.
o Attend sample builds and pre-production meetings as a QIP representative.
o Ensure that action points from meetings are clearly assigned, tracked, and followed up.
