National Diploma/Degree in Mechanical/Industrial /Electrical Engineering or Production Management/Supply Chain Management /Logistics/Information Technology/Data Science
Minimum of 3 years’ experience gained within the automotive industry in a Logistics environment
Essential:
Working knowledge of Technical Data/Engineering Change Processes and Engineering Systems and BOM
Knowledge of the PEP process
Understanding of RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
Project management experience
Computer literate, Microsoft Office Package (Word; Excel and PowerPoint/Power BI) SAP
Ability to communicate at all levels (good written and verbal communication skills)
Be analytical skills with an innovate approach to problem–solving
Key Performance Areas:
Provide accurate bills of materials (BOM’s) for parts to internal and external supply chain partners for the production of vehicles and/or components destined for in-house-, local-, and export customers
Manage the successful introduction of engineering changes in production
Identify, analyse, and report/communicate out of line bill of material situations and ensure commitment to corrective actions
Advance the management of part number variance in the plant to ensure optimal products to satisfy internal and external customers
Evaluate the impact of engineering changes on the BOM’s and provide accurate input into the change management system
Convert the Engineering Bill of Material (E/BOM) into a Production Bill of Material (P/BOM)
Determine timing for the introduction of engineering changes at the company by considering the lead plant timing, related changes, supplier (local and foreign) lead times, inventory levels, vehicle definitions and customer requirements
Secure continued supply of imported material for production of vehicles and components by coordinating the new components request process
Intervene in the P/BOM to prevent line stoppages through the implementation of temporary changes (deviations) to correct errors in usage, PR number, colour, and trim combinations as well as effective period.
Ensure correct documentation is put in place for the permanent correction of temporary intervention
Provide accurate BOM’s to JIT-, JIS and kit suppliers on a continuous basis (as the vehicle passes through the production process) for the production of sub-assemblies
Investigate ad-hoc data queries related to the P/BOM to ensure the accuracy of the BOM so that parts are delivered timeously to the relevant Production areas
