Job description

1. Line Balancing & Process Optimization

• Bottleneck Analysis: Identifying constraints along the production line that slow down overall output and redistributing work tasks to balance assembly line workflow.

2. Work Measurement & Time Studies

• Standard Time Calculation: Conducting Time and Motion studies (using stopwatches or video analysis) to determine how long specific tasks should take under standard operating conditions.

• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Establishing step-by-step visual work instructions for operators to ensure consistent quality and repeatable methods across shifts.

3. Plant Layout & Material Flow Design

• Facility Layout Planning: Designing or reconfiguring the factory floor layout to optimize the movement of raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP), and finished goods.

• Reducing Transport Waste: Minimizing travel distance for forklifts, material handlers, and shop-floor workers to streamline logistics inside the plant.

4. Continuous Improvement & Waste Reduction (Lean Management)

• Implementing Lean Concepts: Applying frameworks such as 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), Kaizen (continuous improvement), and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to remove non-value-added activities.

• Scrap & Scrap Rate Reduction: Collaborating with quality assurance to root-cause production defects and reduce raw material yield loss.

5. Capacity Planning & Equipment Utilization

• Capacity Calculations: Determining total factory output limits based on machine availability, shift schedules, and labor resources.

• Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): Monitoring machine availability, performance, and yield output to reduce planned and unplanned downtime.

6. Ergonomics & Safety Engineering

• Operator Safety Integration: Evaluating physical tasks to prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI), lifting injuries, or fatigue-related safety hazards.

• Material Handling Safety: Designing jigs, fixtures, and automated aids (e.g., gravity feeds, hoist systems) to make material handling safer and easier.

• Workstaton & Cell Design: Designing physical work spaces using ergonomic principles so operators can perform tasks with minimal strain, bending, or excessive movement.

• Takt Time & Cycle Time Alignment: Calculating target production rates to match customer demand and adjusting line speeds accordingly.

Additional Task:

• Developing production schedules

• Monitoring production processes

• Determining equipment requirements

• Scheduling work shifts

• Monitoring material supplies

• Organizing project paperwork

• Troubleshooting production issues

• Preparing performance reports
