Publish clear warranty and quality investigation reports based on failed-part analysis, dealership or field visits, phone contacts, claim information, returned parts, and plant data.
Maintain an accurate log of returned parts, including key claim information, failure mode, status, ownership, disposition, and tracking details.
Communicate investigation results to appropriate teams and collaborate with issue owners to identify, develop, validate, and implement permanent corrective actions.
Develop and apply test methodologies, fixtures, and apparatus for physical testing of warranty-returned transmissions, parts, and components.
Develop hands-on expertise in transmission diagnosis, repair methodology, component teardown, inspection, and failure analysis.
Monitor field, engineering, manufacturing, dealership, and service feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of countermeasures and identify emerging issues.
Analyze quality, warranty, reliability, and production data to identify trends, prioritize actions, and measure improvement.
Develop and administer reliability, warranty, and corrective-action plans and reports for senior management, engineers, manufacturing teams, and service stakeholders.
Support improvement of GM warranty evaluation ratings and drive actions that improve transmission performance and customer satisfaction.
Support the plant’s adherence to BIQ IV standards, GQRs, quality procedures, layered audit requirements, and other related audit or assessment activities.
Participate in quality reviews, containment activities, problem-solving teams, design and process reviews, and launch or change-management activities as assigned.
Support validation of corrective actions through appropriate data, testing, process audits, and effectiveness monitoring.
Perform miscellaneous assignments related to quality, reliability, Vehicle plant feedback, warranty, and transmission-line responsibilities.
Some travel may be required, to support vehicle assembly plant investigations, and other business needs.
