Quality Auditors inspect processing equipment and ensure employees are performing their jobs correctly, following company procedures, safety rules, and Good Manufacturing Practices. The Auditor reviews and analyzes quality inspection data to identify specific types of quality problems, documents findings, and presents recommendations for process improvement. An Auditor writes and implements test and inspection procedures to obtain defect information needed for analysis, reports findings to management, and monitors the effects of changes on process quality.
