• Partner with Quality to ensure effective management of PV-related quality events, deviations, and CAPAs, including those arising from audits and inspections.
• Facilitate root cause analysis and preventive action development and trend quality events and CAPAs to identify recurring issues and systemic process weaknesses.

Continuous Improvement

• Collaborate with Quality to strengthen PV compliance and inspection readiness, recommend improvements to process compliance, governance, and monitoring, and promote a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
