labor utilization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality, and
supply chain) to improve end-to-end operations.
• Evaluate and improve plant layout, workstation design, and ergonomics to
enhance safety and efficiency.
• Develop and maintain production capacity models, analyze bottlenecks, and
recommend process improvements.
• Utilize tools such as VSM (Value Stream Mapping), PFMEA, and Root Cause
Analysis (RCA) for process improvement initiatives.
• Support the implementation of MES/ERP systems for real-time production
monitoring and data analysis.
• Drive cost reduction projects without compromising on quality or safety.
• Prepare detailed process documentation, SOPs, and reports for continuous
monitoring and auditing.
Qualifications & Skills:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related
field.
