Meet the professional

But what does “Supplier Quality Senior Director” mean? It means that here at Cummins I make sure that all the small machine parts and materials that factories in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific give to Cummins are of high quality and meet our Cummin’s quality criteria. This ensures that these products will be put together to create machines, engines and power system that are of high quality as well. We call these factories that provide Cummins with all these machine parts “Suppliers”. I cannot do all this alone, I have a team of great people who help me. My team checks how suppliers create the small machine parts, it solves any problems, and makes sure that the parts are good and safe before they go to Cummins factories all around the world. My role is important because I make sure that people continue to trust that we work well here in Cummins, and that the machines we create are safe and function correctly. This role is closely connected to STEM because it involves using engineering knowledge of how to evaluate products, applying scientific methods to solve problems and using the latest technology to monitor quality and analysing data to make smart decisions.
