historical performance, and component criticality Work with receiving and production teams to ensure incoming material is properly identified, inspected, and dispositioned — with clear quarantine and hold processes for nonconforming material Drive suppliers toward certified supplier status (skip-lot or ship-to-stock) as their quality performance matures and data supports reduced incoming inspection Manage nonconforming material disposition including use-as-is decisions, rework, return to supplier, and scrap — with appropriate engineering review and documentation Supplier Corrective Action (SCAR) Management Issue Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCARs) for quality escapes, audit findings, and systemic performance issues — with clear problem statements, root cause requirements, and response timelines Review and approve supplier 8D corrective action responses challenging superficial root cause analysis and requiring systemic corrective actions, not symptom-level

cost of quality frameworks applied to supplier performance evaluation COMPETENCIES Technical credibility — commands respect from suppliers through deep process knowledge and rigorous quality methodology, not just positional authority Supplier development mindset — treats supplier improvement as a collaborative investment, not just an audit and compliance exercise Analytical rigor — drives to systemic root causes; never accepts a symptom-level corrective action as sufficient Influence without authority — drives improvement in organizations that do not report to Infinitum through relationship, data, and technical credibility Cross-cultural effectiveness — works constructively and respectfully with supplier partners across different cultural and business contexts Ownership — takes full accountability for the quality performance of their supplier portfolio; does not escalate what can be resolved at their level Continuous improvement — applies lean thinking to both their
