Responsibilities

• Translate qualified processes into executable production methods and define the optimal sequence of manufacturing operations.
• Create and maintain manufacturing routings, Work Instructions, SOPs, checklists, inspection points and standard times, ensuring they reflect the approved process.
• Define the resources required for each operation (equipment, tooling, materials, operator skills, inspection) and ensure consistency between BOM, routings, instructions and production data.
• Support the setup and maintenance of manufacturing master data in ERP/MES systems.
• Validate methods directly on the shop floor with operators, collect their feedback and integrate improvements into standards.
• Train operators on new or modified methods and deploy standardized work and visual standards.
• Analyze production flows to reduce non-value-added activities, waiting time, handling, excessive WIP and rework, and improve workstation organization, ergonomics and layout.
• Measure and analyze machine, operator, setup and inspection times, compare actual vs. standard times, and provide reliable data for capacity planning, costing, workforce planning and investment decisions.
• Identify, validate and document tooling and support workstation design.
• Provide hands-on production support, investigate recurring issues related to methods, tooling or documentation, and implement practical corrective actions.
• Support new product introduction and ramp-up, and manage the production impact of process, product or equipment changes.
• Drive continuous improvement (5S, VSM, PDCA, 5 Why, root cause analysis) and track KPIs such as cycle time, FPY, scrap, productivity and OEE.
