Improve facility layouts, workstations, staging areas, material routes, point-of-use storage, kitting processes, and replenishment methods to enhance flow and efficiency.
Conduct detailed time studies, capacity analyses, work sequencing reviews, and workload balancing to increase throughput and optimize resource utilization.
Partner with Engineering, Planning, Purchasing, and Quality to improve production readiness, BOM and drawing handoffs, engineering change processes, and resolution of recurring material shortages.

Coach supervisors and manufacturing teams on lean manufacturing principles, value stream mapping, Kaizen practices, plant layout optimization, continuous improvement methods, and time study techniques.
Observe both facilities during the first 30 days, listen to employees, map priority flows, establish baseline measures, and align with Operations on the highest-value opportunities.
Launch initial improvement initiatives within the first 30 days that are achievable and aligned with agreed priorities.

Strong understanding of manufacturing processes with the ability to interpret engineering drawings and bills of materials (BOMs).
Ability to analyze capacity and develop practical changes to layouts, work methods, and material movement.
Demonstrated ability to coach and influence supervisors and manufacturing teams in lean and continuous improvement practices.
Comfort working directly on the manufacturing floor in a hands-on, leadership-focused role.
