Lead daily production meetings to prioritize workflow across fabrication, assembly, and test work cells in support of the Master Production Schedule.
Coordinate shipping and receiving priorities with the Logistics team.
Ensure manufacturing tools and equipment are maintained and calibrated according to established schedules.
Identify material shortages and coordinate expediting activities with Purchasing and Planning.
Resolve production issues and implement corrective actions to improve productivity, quality, throughput, and delivery performance.
Provide budgetary recommendations for capital expenditures and direct and indirect labor requirements.
Lead and maintain 6S and Lean manufacturing activities throughout factory operations.
Help define, implement, and maintain standard operating procedures and workmanship standards.
Train, coach, and develop employees on job responsibilities, safety procedures, manufacturing processes, and company policies.

Process & Capacity Management

Develop capacity plans based on cycle time, demand forecasts, labor availability, and equipment requirements.
Translate capacity requirements into staffing and facilities planning needs.
Develop and maintain training matrices and cross-training plans to ensure workforce flexibility and adequate production coverage.
Develop Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) for manufacturing operations and ensure appropriate safety controls are implemented.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, efficiency, cycle time, first-pass yield, productivity, and overall factory performance.
Identify opportunities to eliminate waste, improve manufacturing flow, reduce downtime, and optimize labor and equipment utilization.
Support New Product Introduction activities to ensure manufacturing readiness, process capability, training, tooling, and staffing are in place for successful production launches.
Partner with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Planning, Purchasing, and other cross-functional teams to resolve issues and achieve production objectives.

Skills You Bring (Required Skills):

Bachelor’s degree (preferred) in Manufacturing, Engineering, Operations Management, Business, or a related field preferred.
7+ years of progressive manufacturing or factory operations experience, with demonstrated leadership responsibility.

Experience with Lean Manufacturing, 6S, continuous improvement, and problem-solving methodologies.
Demonstrated ability to develop and implement standard work, work instructions, training programs, and safety procedures.
Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Planning, Purchasing, and Logistics.
Strong analytical and organizational skills with the ability to use data to identify opportunities and drive improvements.
Excellent communication, leadership, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills.
Ability to prioritize multiple competing demands and make effective decisions in a fast-paced production environment.
Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and production ramp activities is preferred.
