Acted as Quality Assurance OJT instructor for all newly hired quality assurance specialists. Provided quality assurance oversight and direction for the F/A-18 program for various levels of maintenance including Periodic Maintenance Interval-1 (PMI-1), Periodic Maintenance Interval-2 (PMI-2), In Service Repair (ISR), Center Barrel Replacement (CBR), High Flight Hour (HFH), or combinations of any or all of the above. Planned and developed plans, procedures, instructions, and techniques for implementing and maintaining the requirements and elements of a viable Quality Assurance program. Managed evaluation, coordination, and provided recommendations concerning actions requests, proposed instructions, etc. Evaluated and determined acceptability/adequacy of all functional entities within the command that impact quality. Administered, conducted, planned, and scheduled quality audits. Established and maintained constructive lines of oral and written communications. Accomplished certification of work using quality assurance (QA) principles and techniques. Adjusted quality assurance (QA) activities based on quality data trends and conditions. Collected internally and externally generated data for analysis to determine the adequacy of quality and reliability operations, detect program weaknesses, and predict major causes of failures. Collected quality assurance (QA) data for trend analysis, identifying causes of discrepancies and deficiencies. Created improvement methods to advance existing quality assurance (QA) programs. Identified quality improvements based on lessons learned from audits, investigative analyses, and special studies. Recommended actions to reverse negative trends or improve quality assurance (QA) program efficiency. Recommended changes and modification of surveillance plans to meet mission requirements. Designed process improvements (e.g., corrective and preventive actions, mistake-proofing solutions) in coordination with other production or support personnel. Designed quality assurance (QA) evaluations and assessments to perform audits and surveillance of personnel and programs. Inspected aircraft modification installations for acceptable levels of workmanship, proper equipment usage, and work performed. Verified corrective actions were resolved prior to final certification of inspection. Selected, administered, and controlled various verification techniques, including statistically valid plans. Made frequent decisions concerning the use of applied sampling plans and verification methods. Assured that all final production work was complete, and all safety of flight requirements were met before declaring an aircraft safe for flight. Assured that all required maintenance and inspections were accomplished before and after subsequent check flights. Evaluated and determined acceptability/adequacy of all functional entities within the command that impact quality, including personnel skills and their performance; documented deficiencies, and ensured corrective actions were accomplished to preclude recurrence. Administered, conducted, planned, and scheduled quality audits to ensure a thorough physical and operational evaluation of reworked aircraft products and related special processes within the assigned area for conformance to quality requirements. Developed and recommended improvements to enhance product reliability based on quality assessments. Analyzed and utilized pertinent statistical data. Audited the implementation and operation of all programs associated with the production of quality products within the command; i.e., Calibration, Hydraulic, Fuel and Oil Contamination, Foreign Object Debris (FOD), Tool Control and Safety, etc. Made recommendations for program change/corrective actions and ensured quality requirements were implemented. Reviewed technical data and work documentation to ensure its accuracy and that the quality requirements were adequate. Ensured that only the latest applicable documentation; e.g., technical orders, technical manuals, maintenance instructions, technical repair standard specifications, engineering drawings, etc., as well as authorized changes thereto, were used for work operations. Audited and verified such things as aircraft/engine logbooks, Scheduled Removal Component cards, Aeronautical Equipment Service Records and Equipment History Records for accuracy and completeness. Developed, coordinated, administered, and maintained Quality Characteristics (QCs). Coordinated/established quality requirements by determining significant product/process QCs to assure built-in quality and reliability (defect prevention). Conducted surveillance of the Production Certification Program to ensure all quality requirements were complied with. Granted final approval for delegation of certification authority, and initiated action to suspend certification authority whenever conditions warranted. Briefed command artisans and supervisory personnel on matters concerning quality within the program. Ensured, by surveillance, the quality of special process operations and proper certification of those artisans performing such operations. Reviewed processing documents to ensure adequacy and appropriateness of Examination and Evaluation decisions concerning depth and scope of rework to be performed on aircraft, engines, components, and support equipment. Investigated conditions potentially affecting product and process quality, generating actionable insights. Performed analysis, determined causes, and generated quality investigation reports with recommendations for correction. Initiated a preliminary Quality Deficiency Report investigation process on new or newly reworked material received in the command that was found to be deficient. Finalized and documented findings; developed, drafted, submitted, and administered multi-purpose reports and correspondence to local levels of management and occasionally had verbal communication with other Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) or DOD activities, contractors, etc. Ensured that only the latest applicable documentation; e.g., technical orders, technical manuals, maintenance instructions, technical repair standard specifications, engineering drawings, etc., as well as authorized changes thereto, were used for work operations.
