Assistant Manager - Process Quality AXLE (Vitthalapur)

Assistant Manager – Process Quality (Weld Shop – Axle Products) Location: Gujarat Plant – VeeGee Auto Components Experience: 8 – 12 Years CTC Band: Up to 7.2 LPA Role Objective Drive zero-defect manufacturing in the Axle Weld Shop by strengthening in-process quality controls, weld integrity standards, and root cause elimination – directly reducing rejection %, rework cost, and customer complaints. Key Result Areas (KRAs) Process Quality Ownership – Weld Shop Ensure adherence to weld quality standards for Axle components (MIG/TIG/Robot weld lines). Monitor critical weld parameters: penetration, bead profile, fusion strength, distortion control. Rejection & Rework Reduction Drive reduction in internal rejection and weld defects (Porosity, Cracks, Lack of Fusion, Undercut). Implement corrective actions to lower rework hours and scrap cost. Root Cause & CAPA Lead RCA using 8D / Why-Why / Fishbone for quality failures. Ensure closure of CAPA with measurable improvement in defect trends. Process Audits & Compliance Conduct layer process audits, weld quality audits, and periodic SOP compliance checks. Ensure alignment with ISO/TS & customer-specific quality standards. New Product & Process Validation Support APQP activities for new axle components. Validate weld process during pilot runs and PPAP stages. Data Monitoring & Reporting Track daily quality KPIs: Weld defect ppm Internal rejection rate Rework hours First Pass Yield (FPY) Share weekly trend reports with Production & Quality Head. Required Skill Set Solid exposure to Weld Shop Quality for Axle or heavy fabricated components Sound knowledge of: Welding defects & inspection techniques Process capability studies (Cp, Cpk) ISO/TS standards Quality tools – 7 QC Tools, 8D, SPC Experience in auto ancillary or Tier-1 manufacturing environment Qualification Diploma / BE – Mechanical / Production / Metallurgy Success Metrics (Performance Indicators) Reduction in weld rejection % by minimum 20% YoY Improvement in FPY by minimum 15% Zero repeat customer complaints from weld-related issues Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.in/job/4m0mx8
