Role Overview

GBfoods presents the Lean Manufacturing Specialist role. The candidate leads the deployment and sustainability of the EOS (Excellent Operations System) across multiple manufacturing sites, leveraging deep, hands‑on expertise in the Autonomous Maintenance (AM) and Progressive/Planned Maintenance (PM) pillars of TPM. The successful candidate will act as a change agent, capability builder, and pillar coach—driving zero‑loss culture and delivering measurable business results.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop the tactical roadmap to deploy EOS across manufacturing lines and functional areas of the integrated supply chain, in alignment with pillar master plans.
• Lead AM and PM pillar implementation across all assigned sites, ensuring phase progression milestones are met on schedule.
• Support, drive, and lead EOS implementation ensuring effective governance following the PDCA flow, interfacing extensively with all pillars and functions to build capability and eliminate losses.
• Implement EOS tools while building required capability and coordinating with other pillars to guarantee delivery of business results through a High-Performance Work System (HPWS) approach.
• Deploy the 7-step AM framework, empowering operators to take ownership of daily care activities: cleaning, inspection, and lubrication (CIL).
• Develop and standardise AM step audit processes, CIL standards, and One-Point Lessons (OPLs) across the multisite network.
• Build operator detection skills and foster a culture of "I take care of my own machine" across all sites.
• Track AM step progression KPIs and close gaps through structured coaching and pillar governance.

PM Pillar – Progressive / Planned Maintenance

• Champion the PM pillar across sites, delivering results across safety, quality, reliability, efficiency, cost, delivery, and sustainability.
• Drive the transition from reactive to planned and predictive maintenance, leveraging CMMS and condition‑based monitoring tools.
• Support technical leaders, planners, and technicians in establishing maintenance priorities and schedules.
• Develop and track PM compliance KPIs: MTBF, MTTR, planned vs. reactive maintenance ratio, and spare parts availability.

Capability Building & Culture

• Drive behavioural change across the supply chain to build a CI/EOS culture, including support functions, through coaching and influencing employees at all levels.
• Coach pillar owners and pillar councils, ensuring a clear understanding of EOS to effectively develop and execute loss‑elimination plans.
• Provide training on CI tools and techniques; design and deliver capability‑building programmes tailored to each site's maturity level.
• Promote servant leadership and Gemba Walk practices as core management behaviours.

Governance & Performance

• Establish pillar governance processes to assess and review EOS progress consistently; escape barriers and correct deviations from plan in a timely manner.
• Track and report site‑level KPIs: OEE, AM step progression, PM compliance, loss‑tree performance, and phase‑gate milestones.
• Develop the Compelling Business Need (CBN) framework to connect EOS activities to financial and operational outcomes.
• Coordinate multisite benchmarking and best‑practice sharing to accelerate the EOS journey network‑wide.

Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment with strong hands‑on knowledge of TPM, and Lean Manufacturing.
• Demonstrated ownership of AM and PM pillar implementation—including step‑by‑step deployment and audit leadership.
• Multisite or regional scope experience with proven ability to align cross‑site teams toward common CI goals.
• Proven track record as a change agent, able to deliver complex capability‑building agendas across diverse site cultures.
• Strong understanding of make/pack/ship processes and how to leverage them across the total supply chain.
• Logical, structured, data‑driven thinking to extract insights and solve problems through root‑cause analysis.
