As the global Industrial Engineering leadership, align the manufacturing strategy of the industrial roadmap to all sites. Drive the master layout and line design of sites to the same standard while being flexible in fulfilling business needs, including shop floor or site consolidations. Also responsible for line & shop floor upgrades with i4.0 and BIC elements to achieve efficient High Mix Low Volume manufacturing.
Plan shop floor space utilization focusing on capacity utilization, considering different approaches like dedicated lines, work centers, and flexible cell line approaches in the layout. Manage overall capacity and capability planning for all sites, working concurrently and collaboratively with factory IE in roadmap execution and capex spending.
In NPI, be the owner of the Manufacturing Site Selection Process (MSSP) to identify the most appropriate and efficient site for new businesses, tying it to the overall manufacturing industrial roadmap.
Standard time standardization is a key alignment that allows sites to measure productivity using the same standard, leading to effective resource planning. In migrating to the Next Generation ERP (SAP S4 Hana), ensure the routing and work center format is the same for all sites. The global IE Director will be directly responsible for data setup and factory productivity measurement.
Furthermore, the IE Director will be involved in a critical product costing review to ensure job content and standard time used can be competitive. Additionally, manage automation opportunities with good ROI justification, implementation plans, and further opportunities with factory IE and ME teams.
