This role includes responsibility for the technology and transformation roadmap supporting EP NA's factory network across Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. It is moreover responsible for accelerating operational excellence initiatives across the manufacturing network through the deployment of standardized processes, modular technologies, repeatable operating models that can be rapidly scaled across sites, connected shop floors, and next-generation manufacturing technology.

** Responsibilities:*
* ** Lean & Continuous Improvement:*
* + Standardize a lean manufacturing production system, lean training program and continuous-improvement methodology across all sites.

+ Own enterprise Value Stream Mapping (VSM) standards and lead network-wide assessments to improve flow, capacity, lead time, and waste reduction.

+ Partner with factory leadership teams to redesign and standardize critical manufacturing processes, enabling scalable growth and operational consistency.

+ Coordinate the standardization of KPIs across factories for assessment of lean maturity, OEE, productivity, etc.

+ Share lessons learned and implement best practices across the factory network.

** Digitalization & Industry 4.0:*
* + Own the digitalization roadmap process including MES, OT networks, and shop-floor connectivity to drive real-time operational intelligence.

+ Develop data and analytics capability that turns factory data into actionable operational decisions.
