Uphold quality: verify that processed materials meet or exceed established standards.
Champion lean principles and Visual Factory / 5S to fuel continuous improvement and housekeeping excellence.
Evaluate service levels and recommend staffing to match demand.

Work variance reports on processing orders to correct allocations and resolve discrepancies.
