AGM Quality

Strategy and Policy: Developing implementing and maintaining the Quality Management System (QMS) often based on standards like ISO 9001 across all operational processes.

Compliance: Ensuring all products and processes comply with national and international quality standards customer specifications and statutory/regulatory requirements specific to the aluminium extrusion industry.

Audits: Planning and leading both internal and external audits (including regulatory and certification audits) and acting as the Management Representative (MR) for quality-related activities.

Quality Planning: Establishing comprehensive Quality Plans for raw materials in-process production (extrusion rolling finishing) and final product inspection.

Inspection and Testing: Overseeing and monitoring all Quality Control (QC) activities including the inspection and testing of raw materials chemical composition (spectrometer analysis) mechanical properties and finished product dimensions/surface quality.

Measurement Management: Ensuring the proper calibration maintenance and functioning of all inspection measuring and test equipment (IMTE).

Problem Resolution: Investigating analyzing and resolving internal and external non-conformances product defects and customer complaints.

CAPA Implementation: Leading the establishment review and effective implementation of Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) to eliminate root causes of quality issues.

Continuous Improvement: Driving a culture of Total Quality Management (TQM) implementing quality circles (QCC) and initiating projects for process and product improvement to enhance efficiency and reduce rejection/rework rates.

Team Leadership: Providing guidance training and strategic direction to the QA/QC team managing departmental activities and developing staff competence.

Inter-Departmental Coordination: Collaborating closely with production engineering maintenance and marketing departments to ensure quality expectations are integrated throughout the product lifecycle and new products are developed to customer specifications.

Supplier Quality: Managing and auditing supplier quality ensuring incoming materials meet required standards and driving supplier development.

Education: A Bachelors or Masters degree in Metallurgy Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.

Experience: Significant experience (12 years) in Quality Assurance and Quality Control with a substantial part of that experience in the aluminium extrusion and manufacturing industry.

Technical Knowledge: In-depth knowledge of aluminium alloy characteristics extrusion/rolling processes surface treatments and relevant national/international standards.

Certifications: Proven expertise in ISO 9001 and experience with other relevant management systems (e.g. ISO 14001 ISO 45001).
