NPI Leader, China

II. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

·       Factory Cross-Functional NPI Project Leadership: Independently lead full-cycle factory NPI, manufacturing localization and production line transfer projects, anchor factory internal delivery targets (yield rate, production efficiency, process stability, compliance, launch timeline). Closely coordinate and align with all factory operation departments (production, process, engineering, quality, planning, material, equipment) to unify project execution standards and resolve cross-department docking barriers.

·       On-Site Project Execution & Progress Control: Develop detailed factory-based NPI project schedules covering sample trial production, small-batch trial run, mass production validation and process verification. Sort out factory internal task dependencies, allocate on-site production resources, track daily/weekly project execution progress, and strictly control project timeline, on-site trial production cost and resource consumption to ensure on-time and high-quality project delivery.

·       Factory On-Site Risk & Quality Management: Adopt Danaher Project Management tools and visual management systems to monitor full-process factory NPI project status. Proactively identify on-site production risks, process defects, material matching problems, equipment debugging abnormalities and compliance risks during product introduction. Organize factory functional teams to conduct root cause analysis, formulate and implement improvement and mitigation plans, and avoid production delay and quality hidden troubles.

·       Internal Factory Resource Coordination & Team Synergy: Serve as the core liaison for factory NPI projects, responsible for daily communication, task deployment and progress reporting to factory department leaders, production management and global functional teams. Integrate internal factory manpower, equipment, workshop and material resources, drive efficient collaboration of multi-functional on-site teams, and build a rigorous and efficient on-site project execution atmosphere.

·       Production Transfer & Localization Implementation: Lead localized manufacturing upgrade and offline production transfer projects, cooperate with factory supply chain team to complete localized material verification, supplier trial production confirmation and localized process optimization. Ensure all new products meet Made-in-China production specifications, regulatory registration requirements and factory mass production standards.

·       Project Summary & Factory Process Iteration: Sort out NPI project implementation data, summarize on-site production problems and successful experience, form standardized project archives. Promote the iteration and optimization of factory NPI process specifications, trial production SOP and cross-department collaboration mechanism, and continuously improve the factory’s new product mass production capability.
