6. Tooling and Process Validation:

7. Work closely with tooling engineers to ensure the design and validation of

8. stamping dies and tooling meet product specifications.
9. Involving tooling trials and perform validations to ensure that the stamping
10. process consistently produces parts that meet dimensional and functional

11. requirements.

12. Quality Control and Inspection:

13. Develop and implement quality control procedures for stamping parts, ensuring

that product quality meets customer requirements and specifications.

• Perform first article inspections (FAI) and ongoing audits of stamped parts..

Root Cause Analysis and Problem Solving:

• Identify, analyze, and resolve quality issues or non-conformances during the NPI
• phase, using tools such as root cause analysis, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects
• Analysis), and 8D reports.
• Work closely with the production and engineering teams to implement corrective
• actions and preventive measures for identified quality issues.
• Address quality issues during the NPI phase by performing root cause analysis

• and implementing corrective actions.

• Supplier and Material Qualification:

• Collaborate with suppliers to ensure raw materials meet required specifications

for stamping.
