• Quality and Risk Control:
  
  Identify potential risks in each stage of the new product introduction (e.g., process abnormalities, equipment failures, supply chain delays), develop improvement actions (e.g., process optimization, equipment upgrades), and implement contingency plans. Continuously monitor risk evolution to ensure major risks do not impact the project.
• Experience Consolidation and Knowledge Management:
  
  Organize full-cycle project reviews to summarize successes and areas for improvement, develop standardized management protocols, SOPs, and technical documents.
