Ummmm .... ookaaaayyyyy ....

You're not an engineer by trade and you have no idea how airplanes are made but you're going to be working as a quality engineer at an aircraft manufacturing company?!?

How in the world did you get this job in the first place?

What IS your educational and work background?

I once worked in a sales job in an industry I was not familiar with and I learned a lot about the manufacturing process by working for a few days at various points along the assembly line, observing and asking a lot of questions. And then my supervisor had me write reports about what I had learned. That was a good way for me to learn about the industry.

Once you understand HOW the job is done and WHY it's done the way it is, you can start to look for ways to innovate the process or improve the quality control along the way.
