You will have total oversight of both the production floor and the warehouse/logistics ecosystem. Your mandate is to lead the facility's Digital Agenda, transforming raw data into operational speed, and mentoring a workforce that is as comfortable with a digital dashboard as they are with chemical processing equipment.
Responsibilities
1. Digital Transformation & "Industry 4.0" Integration
- Smart Factory Architecture: Lead the implementation and advancement of digital manufacturing tools, including real-time performance systems and automated data collection.
- Predictive Operations: Leverage digital dashboards and advanced data analytics to identify performance gaps before they impact the P&L, driving a culture of "predict-and-prevent" rather than "react-and-repair."
- Digital Fluency Coaching: Act as the primary change agent for the facility, training and upskilling Managers and Supervisors to utilize SAP and digital KPIs for day-to-day decision-making.
- Total Value Stream Ownership: Lead the end-to-end production process for high-performance adhesives and sealants, ensuring every liter of product meets global quality specifications.
- Continuous Improvement (CI) Catalyst: Partner with the CI lead to deploy Six Sigma and Lean methodologies. You will be responsible for institutionalizing "Fast Response" problem-solving at every level of the organization.
- Shift Optimization: Ensure total collaboration and consistency across all shifts, implementing engagement strategies that keep a 24/7 operation motivated and accountable.
- Dynamic Warehouse Management: Direct all warehouse functions, optimizing the "physical-to-digital" link where inventory accuracy meets automated tracking.
- Global Supply Synchronization: Manage the delicate balance of raw material inventory, shipment planning, and receiving schedules to ensure zero production downtime while minimizing carrying costs.
- Compliance Stewardship: Maintain rigorous standards for SOPs, chemical safety, and regulatory documentation, ensuring the facility is always "audit-ready."
- The Foundation: A Bachelor's Degree in a technical field (Engineering, Operations Management, Industrial Technology, or similar).
- Industry Context: 5-10 years of leadership in a manufacturing environment, with a strong preference for Chemical or Adhesive manufacturing.
- Tech-Stack Mastery: High-level proficiency in SAP and a proven track record of implementing "Smart Factory" initiatives (e.g., automated reporting, digital work instructions, or IoT integration).
- Leadership Gravity: The ability to influence up to corporate leadership regarding digital strategy and down to the floor to drive cultural change.
