Description

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

The major areas of responsibility and focus for this position as follows:

• Develop, configure, and optimize industrial processes from inception through to start up and volume manufacturing period. Design, run, test, and upgrade systems and processes.
• Responsible for evaluating existing processes and configuring manufacturing systems to reduce cost, improve sustainability, maximize profitability, and develop best prcatices within the production process. Identify ways to reduce production costs through recommendations - new process equipment, equipment justification to improve performance.
• Develop working instructions, workmanship standards and process documents, and ensure they are followed. Manage manufacturing documentation required for product manufacturing  i.e. material and component drawings, BOM, accurate work instructions and workmanship standards and process procedures.
• Work with product engineering on DFx methods to include:
  • Design for Cost
  • Design for Test
  • Design for Manufacturability
  • Design for Assembly
• Provide manufacturing data like production control charts, reliability, process capability, to improve the process and monitor and measure progress to target. Focal person on yield improvement activities, process capability, process efficiency, and process stability improvements.
• Work with other relevant departments to determine manufacturing costs and provide necessary actions for cost reduction. With vision on cost reduction roadmaps relevant to process improvement activities (Kaizen).
