Industrial Engineer — Lean Manufacturing & Process Improvement

Overhead Door Corporation; Lewistown (Mifflin County); On-site; USD 75,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Overhead Door Corporation is seeking an Industrial Engineer to design, improve and sustain safe, reliable manufacturing systems. You will translate ASD priorities into practical improvements across Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, Cash and People, with emphasis on labor standards, capacity and material flow.

You will work closely with operators, supervisors and value stream managers to solve problems at the gemba, establish repeatable processes and build plant capability through the ASD Lean

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
• Demonstrated manufacturing experience through employment, internship or cooperative education with practical exposure to work measurement, production analysis or process improvement.
• Working knowledge of time studies, labor standards, line balancing, capacity analysis, layout design, ergonomics and Lean problem solving.
• Ability to analyze operational data, validate assumptions and communicate recommendations clearly to operators, managers and functional partners.
• Proficiency with Excel and the ability to read process layouts and engineering drawings; familiarity with ERP or manufacturing data systems.
• Ability to lead projects without direct supervisory authority and work effectively across shifts and functions.

Responsibilities

• Apply the ASD Safety Golden Rules and partner with EHS to identify and reduce ergonomic, handling and process risks. Integrate safe work methods into workstation design and standard work.
• Evaluate reach, posture, lifting, repetitive motion and material presentation; recommend practical engineering controls and verify effectiveness with affected employees.
• Ensure proposed changes receive required safety, quality and technical reviews before implementation. Escalate unsafe conditions promptly.
• Conduct time studies, work sampling and method analysis across shifts and representative product mixes. Separate manual time, machine time, setup, walking, waiting and avoidable losses.
• Develop and maintain documented labor and setup standards using approved methods, representative observations and justified allowances. Validate methods with operators and supervisors and update standards after process changes.
• Create standard work, work instructions and labor-balance charts with Operations and Quality. Establish sustainable staffing models that reflect demand, mix, training, breaks and operating constraints.
• Develop demonstrated-capacity models using product mix, cycle times, changeovers, yield, downtime and available operating hours.
• Identify system constraints and improve throughput through line balancing, setup reduction, workload redistribution and targeted loss elimination.
• Support Materials and Planning with capacity, routing and run-rate inputs for demand planning, scheduling, build-ahead decisions and backlog recovery.
