**Qualifications** + Methodically analyze assembly processes and drive cost and investment estimations, establish and ensure consistent and efficient flow to optimize manpower to meet quality targets in a high volume production environment.
+ Evaluate and conceptualize estimations for future process or changes of current process to improve tooling, work holding and ergonomic opportunities to support production in this fast paced setting.
+ Serves as primary liaison with cross-function Product Development Teams providing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) input for new products, and acting as the primary interface and transition of new product to a full production environment.
+ Design and implement efficient processes using lean manufacturing principles, to enable single piece flow in a pull system philosophy for existing products or new product launches as appropriate.
+ Conduct assessments of existing or proposed manufacturing processes to provide focused improvement opportunities to increase production efficiencies, eliminate waste, reduce inventory, reduce lead times, increase quality and improve safety and ergonomics.
+ Identify and eliminate waste as well as evaluate potential changes in workflow to maximize production efficiencies.
+ Lead cross-functional teams to implement 5S, standard work, set-up reduction, and problem solving/rapid change for current or new production assembly lines.
+ Justify and purchase capital equipment/tooling to improve or implement manufacturing processes.
+ Establish and document production standards and controls, conduct initial time studies and establish labor standards for new and existing products and process as necessary + Establish appropriate methods, tools, equipment, etc.
required to produce products in keeping with established quality and operating standards.
+ Complete PFMEA analysis in a cross functional environment.
+ Work with the product development teams and management to provide input for make vs.
buy decisions.
+ Provide input to Bills of Material and routing as necessary to maintain inventory control, financial controls and customer quality standards in the process.
+ Establish facility layout that is consistent with kanban, efficient material flow and pull system techniques.
**Responsibilities** **Competencies:** Collaborates - Building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives.
