What You'll Do

Design processes around kickbacks / reworks and other exceptions and manual material flow
Own process flow for any manual manufacturing operations
Maintain simple, clear documentation to enable rapid training of operators
Run continuous improvement projects to improve key metrics
Ensure lines are balanced and manufacturing cells and process are capable of hitting targets

What We're Looking For

Systemic Root Cause Analysis: Expert at investigating material flow disruptions or lost parts to identify the failure point and implementing procedural updates to prevent recurrence.
Non-Conforming Material Management: Skilled at designing robust rework loops and bypass stations that allow for the disposition of rejected parts without bottlenecking the main automated line.
Process Standardization: Experienced in creating simple, repeatable workflows and establishing 5S, labeling, and organizational standards for the factory floor.
Proactive Metric Ownership: Ability to identify and track critical KPIs (e.g., First Pass Yield, Rework Cycle Time) to address process drift before it impacts production targets.
Logistical Flow Design: Proven experience managing complex material movement and "chain of custody" for parts as they transition between automated stations and manual quality checkpoints.
