PAR, or Preventive Action Request, is very similar to CAR. PAR is also one of the most widely used terms for Preventive Actions by companies that are ISO certified. We use PARs to conduct an investigation to find the root cause(s) of a potential problem so that this possible problem does not come to pass. As with CAR, PAR refers to all steps of Preventive Action, not just the Request portion as the name might imply. Again, when the Preventive Action moves to Root Cause Investigation, we don't switch the name to PARC but wrongly continue to call it PAR until closure. Therefore, in my view, PAR is not good nomenclature for Preventive Actions.

I am experienced and equipped with basic rules or standards of quality and will add knowledge and my expertise skills while learning new things in this organisation.The requirements and duties of this post are very much so it wont be something new to me like..SOP's, updating and capturing info on the system.

NCR seems, to me, one of the most widely misunderstood acronyms. Most people tend to confuse NCR with a Corrective Action or, worse yet, with an Audit Nonconformity. First of all, a Nonconformance is an instance when a product does not meet product specifications - whether the nonconformity is major or minor - and therefore does not conform to requirements (hence the term Nonconformance). Nonconformance Reports, or NCRs, log and track the occurrence of Nonconformances either in paperwork or in electronic form.

Punctual, team player, someone who takes direction and can give direction, great person to work with. A professional and also a person who cares about the people she works with as well as the company meeting deadlines.

CAR stands for Corrective Action Request, and it means the activity of originating a Corrective Action. In the ISO arena, CAR is by far one of the most frequently used terms for Corrective Action. The essence of CAR is to conduct investigation on a problem which already happened and needs root cause analysis and resolution to prevent recurrence. Although the acronym translates to Corrective Action Request, when companies use this acronym, they actually use it for their entire Corrective Action lifecycle rather than just the request portion.

In my view, this is not an appropriate name for a Corrective Action, because the name implies it is only the initial stage of the Corrective Action process. What happens after the Corrective Action has been Requested and is now on Root Cause mode? Should it be CARC, as in, Corrective Action Root Cause? Or what if the Corrective Action is in the Review of Effectiveness stage, should it be CARE? Get the point?

CAR: Corrective Action Request
PAR: Preventive Action Request
NCR: Non-Conformance Report

A good time to start the QA is from the beginning of the project startup. This will lead to plan the process which will make sure that product coming out meets the customer quality expectation. QA also plays a major role in the communication between teams. It gives time to step up the testing environment. The testing phase starts after the test plans are written, reviewed and approved.

To see that every body goes home every day to their loved ones and knowing that I played a part in that.

The key would be that it meets all of the SOP and other regulations and as well as visually inspection and other necessarily inspection to make sure it will be for the beneficial of consumer and minimal loss of profit.

I got some boards back in RMA and found that there was an ongoing problem and that the line lead had mentioned to the engineer but the issue never got resolved so after some investigating and getting other engineers and quality persons involved we got the ball rolling on the issue and hopefully in the very near future we will have a new vendor and process and less RMA. So I also think this will save the company money.

Quality Engineers interact with employees at all levels, from minor suppliers to organization management.
Describe a specific assignment where you had to use your communication skills, participate in a group endeavor or manage/lead a team. Discuss your routine communication with all levels of management, quality managers and inspectors, development engineering divisions, operations and QA testing staff.

A senior staff member but two containers into the public ice maker, these where not covered or wrapped. This contaminated the drink ice for anyone want to cool their drink. I unplugged the ice maker and opened the drain and posted a sign that ice was contaminated and should not be used. I sent a private note to the staff member and told him I was ordering sanitation chemicals for the clean up. No reason to but attention staff member, he thanked me and signed for the cleaning.

Being able to record, understanding gmps, haccp, ccps, usda, knowing how the line you are inspecting is supposed to start and end.

I was responsible for a shipment of non conformance parts waiting to be expedited. I had to torque every insert to make sure it passed. This was hundreds of parts. I ensured the safety of the consumers and the integrity of the company.

I would give the presentation and the policy and to break it down and make it more sensful I would tell them the benefits of it in long term and give them bew ways to except it as being a challenge that we all face and we can over come it together.

Discuss here not only quality control, QA tests, and monitoring of various kinds (materials, products, electrical systems), but also other related tasks that a QA engineer might be responsible for: improvement processes, quality-oriented staff training, and quality-related customer services.

FFS results indicated that we had to shut one of our transfer lines. This was not within Code standards due to internal metal loss. The company man did not agree on this as this would be a loss in production. I have reported this to the terminal manager and my line manager and gave them the results of the inspection. We then decided as a team to prepare for the repair works and shut the line.

While performing a routine inspection on a storage tank, I have noticed a bottom leak. According to Code the tank must be isolated, cleaned and repaired. The leak was slight and we as a team decided to build a secondary containment berm around the tank and monitor the leak on daily basis.

When we had bad parts from a vendor and they did not meet our IPC standards. We didnt have any other parts on hand to replace the bad parts so we shut it down the good parts came in.

Yes I manage my time well, I am organised, use my Microsoft Outlook detail appointments, use tasks.

Quality engineers can serve as the link between customers and suppliers. When a customer complains about product quality, the engineer must then solve the problem between the customer, the company, and its affiliates, including material and parts suppliers. Briefly describe some interesting problems that you have successfully tackled.

I'm confident that when I completed my 1st inspection on statutory equipment, the trainee inspectors will be able to see and learned how to perform the task and how to complete a inspection report.
