Production-Manufacturing Engineering Leader

Job Purpose:
Level 1: Analyze and Optimize existing processes with improved performance in Security, Quality, Cost, Time, and Environment, and train productivity players.
Level 2: Integrate and start new processes within the plant in compliance with technical and economic objectives.

Main Responsibilities:

Level 1

1. Train relevant personnel in processes and ensure the deployment and capitalization of technical skills at the site:
   - Train and support relevant personnel in work methodologies, operating processes, and tools.
   - Make necessary decisions to optimize results, in line with initial data.
2. Ensure the productivity of existing processes/products:
   - Manage the technical database.
   - Define and write the procedures for new means and processes.
   - Define the production line layouts and create and validate the time sequences.
   - Help to develop the process during the project phase, 'in production', and optimize it.
   - Provide technical input for processes and workstations to make technical improvements.
   - Schedule and maintain or organize the maintenance of tooling, assembly machines, and the product.
   - Make production equipment reliable to improve quality and safety of existing means.
   - Propose innovative technical solutions concerning manufacturing processes to reach productivity, quality improvement, and safety objectives while reducing running time.
   - Cost, carry out, and validate 'in production' modifications for the plant processes.
   - Negotiate with any external service providers.
   - Validate the implementation in the field of inspection means.
   - Define and validate the Work In Process (Forklifts, suspended or other, etc.).
   - Define and validate the substitution packaging and optimize existing packaging.
   - Ensure compliance with workstation ergonomics rules.
   - Troubleshoot to solve quality problems.
   - Technically solve problems to eliminate 'quality obstacles'.
   - Use time analysis and SMED to optimize processes.
   - Apply the production standards.

Level 2

1. Coordinate the integration of new products/processes on the site:
   - Help to define the necessary plant means and coordinate their implementation to acquire the necessary skills locally.
   - Attend project meetings and assist with the FMECA process with the project group.
   - Lead a Process and/or means FMECA working group.
   - Support/participate in the definition of CS process during the PFMEA.
   - Participate in and validate the writing of the specifications for the specific means on the site.
   - Produce the specification capacity means.
   - Launch calls for tender and consultations for capacity and plant means.
   - Monitor suppliers.
   - Receive and validate the acceptance and development of new resources.
   - Initialize the creation of CAM technical data (Parts, Parts lists, Instruction sheets).
   - Create process adjustment sheets (parameters) and associated documents.
   - Carry out the programming required to operate specific equipment.
   - Conduct CCV/VSM for new projects.
   - Conduct flow and layout studies.
   - Conduct station and time studies (time usage rules) and draw up documentation in compliance with quality requirements.
   - Compile the manufacturing file: procedure, operation sequence diagram, man-machine activity chart, instruction sheets, lists, manufacturing charts.
   - Start the production of new products and run rate.
   - Detect incidents and implement adapted action plans to solve problems.

Essential Job Functions:

- Strong work experience in machine qualification including calibration, correlation, capability, repeatability, and reproducibility.
- Able to communicate effectively in a worldwide environment.
