  • Conducting statistical analysis to identify trends in data sets, informing process improvements that resulted in enhanced product performance upon product launch.
  • Developing and maintaining reports for management to provide visibility into launch quality metrics, enabling informed decision-making and strategic planning.
  • Implementing data-driven decision-making processes for continuous improvement in product quality.
  • Enhancing manufacturing processes for better product performance and reduced defects.
