• Develop innovative strategies for material storage and movement, and actively seek opportunities for implementation.

• Integrate the layout of people, manufacturing equipment, and material flow through the creation of a

Material Flow Map.

• Conduct analysis of material flow and congestion to identify areas for improvement.

• Participate in Plant Launch Wall Reviews, providing updates on status and countermeasures.

• Collaborate closely with key stakeholders, including CME Execution and Plant Launch Teams.

• Address lessons learned from Continuous Improvement (CI) opportunities and share knowledge with other manufacturing sites.

• Assist in defining material flow metrics, standardized work processes, and operations playbooks.

Key Qualifications

• Experience in designing, procuring, building, installing, and debugging equipment related to material movement and storage.

• Proficient in managing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), including program management, OEM timing, addressing open issues, and providing financial forecasts.

• Previous experience as a Project Lead, with the ability to coordinate resources, provide leadership updates, report status, and track timelines.

• Possess practical problem-solving skills, with either formal training or experience applying methodologies such as Red X or 7 Diamond.
