Quality Control & Defect Analysis
• Identify root causes of casting defects using tools like 5 Whys, Fishbone, 8D, and FMEA.
• Implement permanent corrective actions to prevent recurring issues.
• Perform hardness, microstructure, and chemical composition testing.
Process & Material Optimization
• Optimize casting and heat treatment conditions to ensure product quality.
• Apply knowledge of cast iron, cast steel, and other alloys to daily production.
• Evaluate how hardness, microstructure, and chemical makeup affect machinability.
Supplier & Team Collaboration
• Audit suppliers and offer technical guidance to maintain quality standards.
• Work with the machining team to fix issues and smooth out production workflows.
Communication & Reporting
• Present technical reports and action plans in English to Japanese management.
• Align engineering practices with Japanese manufacturing standards.
