- Apply QMS frameworks to mechanical engineering practices.
- Implement process-based approaches for planning, control, and improvement.
- Emphasize continuous improvement through cycles such as PDCA.
- Manage documentation and compliance effectively.
- Apply inspection methods such as visual checks, dimensional measurement, and functional testing.
- Use precision tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators) correctly.
- Interpret inspection data to verify compliance with standards.
- Conduct tests to assess performance, durability, and reliability.
- Detect and report defects or process deviations.
- Understand the importance of NDT in mechanical quality control.
- Identify methods including UT, RT, MPT, DPT, and ECT.
- Operate testing equipment and follow procedures safely.
- Evaluate the advantages and limitations of each technique.
- Interpret NDT findings to identify material or structural defects.
- Prepare accurate reports in line with industry requirements.
- Apply RCA to investigate quality issues.
- Use tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and FMEA.
- Collect and analyze data to support problem-solving.
- Recommend corrective and preventive actions.
- Monitor effectiveness of solutions and ensure continuous improvement.
