You will ensure that all changes are accurately reflected in BoMs, process plans, and master files. By collaborating with key stakeholders, you will proactively manage material conflicts, delays, and change impacts.
• Analyze production performance. You will monitor and analyze production data, including direct and indirect hours, rework rates, and job exceptions. You will conduct time studies to ensure routing accuracy and generate detailed reports using Summary Sheets and KPIs. Through data-driven insights, you will identify bottlenecks and opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Ensure safety and compliance. You will uphold all company safety, quality, and environmental policies. You will report any health and safety concerns to management and contribute to maintaining a safe and organized work environment.
