• Execute time studies (stopwatch, line balancing, and standard work) and consolidate results using standardized templates for Industrial Engineers.
• Collect, process, and analyze capacity data (equipment and lines) and Direct Labor performance data, supporting headcount calculations, CPH/UPH, and takt/rate analysis.
• Monitor, record, and analyze downtime in systems (e.g., Flex Flow, Downtime Tracker, Mamut), generating reports with root causes, impacts, and corrective actions.
• Prepare, assemble, and/or adapt simple jigs, fixtures, and mockups (moonshine) to support station improvements, prioritizing ergonomics, quality, and safety; support try-outs and validations.
• Support Kaizen events (setup reduction, flow, 5S, standardization, visual management): data collection, time studies, measurements, “as‑is/to‑be” mapping, action follow‑up, and control plans.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation: standardized work instructions (SW), cell/line layouts, process sheets, data collection forms, and reports with numerical and graphical analysis.
• Configure, execute, and document capacity tests/studies and small simulations based on objectives defined by Industrial Engineers, recording procedures, results, and recommendations.
• Maintain software files, spreadsheets, document versions, and measuring equipment according to current revisions; ensure 5S discipline and EHS compliance in the work area.
• Train operators/technicians on new standardized work methods, data collection procedures, and basic use of forms/systems related to CI/IE initiatives.
