• Support daily production priorities, communicate constraints early, and collaborate effectively across Production, Engineering, Quality, Materials, and Testing.
• Assist with peer training and cross-training by demonstrating safe methods, quality workmanship, and consistent use of approved documentation.
• Participate in 5S, standard work, material-flow, quality, productivity, and other continuous-improvement activities.
