a) Preparation of new projects in pre-production stage consisting of:
- new machine & tooling procurement, their transfer, installation, commissioning, tune up & operator training
- layout development & optimization
- solve critical manufacturing and quality issues
- develop process documentation: Process Flow Charts, PFMEA, Control Plans, Work Instructions, Check Sheets, Process capability studies, etc.
- evaluate cycle times for assembly processes, distribute workload to operators, decrease bottle-neck operations
- quote and selection of facility, tooling and floorspace for new programs
b) Support & improve projects in mass production, consisting of:
- sustain continues improvement of existing process by using methods like: Lean, 6Sigma, Kaizen, Poka Yoke
- implementation of statistic process controls (SPC)
- leader of VA/VE & TQCM activities (Value Analysis / Value Engineering, Cost saving management)
c) Prepare & control Capex and manufacturing budget
d) Define BWS and investments for new projects; plan floor expansions for high volume programs
e) Leading the team of process engineers under dedicated unit
