Summary

The Quality Inspector provides guidance to ensure customer requirements are met by performing visual and gage based inspection of molded and printed finished goods. Attribute and variable data is observed and collected to determine conformance to established quality specifications. Other contributors to safety, quality and food safety are also observed or inspected, including adherence to safety policies, good manufacturing practices, established methods, procedures, policies and raw material conditions.

A Quality Inspector communicates deviations from quality specifications, control limits and other requirements, as well as trends approaching deviation to fellow employees in the respective production areas, including supervisors and managers as needed, in a timely and effective manner so that corrective action can be implemented.
