MAIN PROCESSES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Manufacturing Process Design & Industrialisation
Govern the design, validation, and continuous optimisation of manufacturing processes
to ensure efficiency, repeatability, and scalability.
Lead the industrialisation of current products, ensuring structured transition from
development to serial production.
Define process flows, work instructions, tooling concepts, and operational standards
aligned with quality and safety requirements.

Industrial Engineering & Performance Optimisation
Lead time & motion studies, capacity analysis, and cycle time optimisation to improve
productivity and labour efficiency.




Establish and maintain line balancing methodologies and production performance
benchmarks.
Drive data-based performance monitoring and continuous process recalibration.

Lean Manufacturing & Continuous Improvement
Implement and govern Lean methodologies including 5S, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke, single-piece
flow, and cell manufacturing.
Lead waste elimination initiatives targeting productivity, quality, cost, and lead time
improvements.
Promote a structured continuous improvement culture across shopfloor operations.

Plant Layout & Production Line Optimisation
Design and optimise plant layouts to improve material flow, safety, and operational
efficiency.
Ensure proper line configuration, workstation ergonomics, and material handling
integration.
Support expansion planning and layout redesign in line with capacity growth strategies.

Tooling, Fixtures & Special Process Governance
Oversee design and validation of jigs, fixtures, gauges, and special process tooling.
Ensure process qualification and machine validation prior to serial production release.
Govern special manufacturing processes (e.g., welding, painting, crimping, brazing,
impregnation)



to ensure compliance and repeatability.

Value Engineering & Cost Optimisation
Apply Value Analysis / Value Engineering methodologies to reduce manufacturing cost
while maintaining quality and performance.
Identify process improvements that enhance efficiency without compromising product
standards.

Supplier Development (Tooling & Process Support)
Develop and qualify suppliers for tooling, fixtures, consumables, and process-support
equipment.
Ensure supplier capability aligns with manufacturing requirements and BU standards.

Shopfloor Engineering Governance
Supervise manufacturing engineering activities across the shopfloor.
Ensure effective machine commissioning, process validation, and operator training
frameworks.
Drive structured problem-solving initiatives to stabilise and enhance production
performance.

Process Safety & Compliance
Integrate safety standards into process design and workstation layout.
Ensure ISO compliance and adherence to internal QHSE standards.
Promote risk mitigation through preventive engineering controls.

REQUIRED TECHNICAL COMPETENCES
