• Partner with Ops Engineering / training owners to ensure training and certification are completed for tasks performed in the area
• Lead, coach, and develop team leads and operators; set expectations and drive accountability
• Implement a lightweight rotation / cross-training plan that grows versatility and reduces burnout
• Partner with Ops Engineering / CI to identify, prioritize, and execute improvements that move throughput/efficiency metrics
• Support kaizen events, time studies, and standardization; ensure impact is measured and captured
• Convert recurring issues into standard work, training content, and improved material flow so the system becomes self-improving
• Own the area “scoreboard”: targets vs actuals, downtime/constraints, quality escapes, and improvement actions
• Participate in weekly leads/metrics reviews; report what happened, why, what changed, and what support you need
• Partner with Factory Orchestration / Sidekick stakeholders to improve dashboards and information displays when current metrics don’t drive behavior
