Jessica Gonzalez, quality administrator, TDF Metal Finishing

TDF Metal Finishing (Danvers, Mass.) describes Jessica Gonzalez as “the classic example of somebody who wasn't given a job, she stole it like only the best ones do.” Self-driven and always learning, Gonzalez worked hard to step into a key management role at TDF, filling the role of QC manager. TDF recently completed its annual ISO 9000 : 15 audit and passed with flying colors, which it says is due in no small part to Gonzalez maintaining the system. Utilizing new tools and technology, Gonzalez is also modernizing the department and moving much of the record-keeping to electronic versions. Taking on job planning, Gonzalez has utilized the company's new software system to become a key part of job planning and process selection. As TDF pursues Nadcap accreditation, her role in the finishing process planning and the creation of Nadcap compliant process sheets will only grow.
