I have developed and implemented supplier audit programs, SOPs, and KPI tracking that improved on-time delivery by 15% and cut batch review cycle time by 20%. I trained cross-site teams on deviation reporting and RCA, reducing repeat deviations by 25% and coordinated validation activities to FDA and EMA expectations.
