Supply Chain Expert

As a Supply Chain Performance Expert specializing in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), your mission is to challenge, improve, and elevate operational performance across a multi‑country or regional scope. You will drive the deployment, standardization, and sustainability of TPM practices as a core element of the Schneider Performance System (SPS), boosting equipment reliability, building workforce capability, improving industrial cost performance, and strengthening end‑to‑end supply chain efficiency.

• Leading the TPM program rollout across regional sites.
• Building organizational capability through training, coaching, and on‑the‑gemba support.
• Designing and deploying standards and best practices that enable consistency and scalability.
• Challenging performance baselines and improvement plans to secure measurable business results.
• Leveraging Smart & Digital tools to accelerate TPM execution and supply chain performance.

• Lead the deployment of the TPM Program across multiple manufacturing sites, ensuring alignment with SPS and regional strategic priorities.
• Standardize TPM methodologies, tools, and practices to ensure repeatable, consistent, and sustainable results.
• Develop model TPM plants and enable progressive scaling across the region.
• Build organizational capability by training, coaching, and certifying practitioners, associates, and subject‑matter experts in TPM.
• Act as a regional challenger for performance, governance, priorities, and execution discipline of TPM pillars (People, Machine, Cost).
• Promote adoption of digital solutions, maintenance systems, and performance analytics to accelerate TPM maturity.
• Formalize and deploy benchmarks, standards, and best practices across sites.
• Ensure TPM contributes directly to improvements in Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People development.

• Identify and quantify improvement opportunities in maintenance performance (OEE), workforce (Headcount), and cost (Spend).
• Lead TPM or Continuous Improvement (CI) events when skills are missing or when additional expertise is required.
• Conduct deep dives on equipment losses, maintenance systems, skill gaps, and operational bottlenecks across the end‑to‑end value stream.

• Facilitate and support TPM pillar activities (Autonomous Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Kobetsu Kaizen).
• Lead coaching sessions, audits, and maturity assessments at site level.
• Support the implementation of Kaizen events, root cause analysis, and rapid improvement actions.

• Contribute to the creation and deployment of regional TPM standards, playbooks, and training materials.
• Ensure all TPM practices are consistent with Schneider Performance System (SPS) principles.

• Safety:
  Promote a zero‑accident mindset through autonomous maintenance and equipment reliability.
• Quality:
  Strengthen process robustness, defect prevention, and changeover optimization.
• Delivery:
  Improve OTD through reduced losses, downtime, and bottlenecks.
• Cost:
  Increase efficiency, optimize maintenance spend, and eliminate waste.
• People:
  Build competencies and develop TPM skills across the organization.

• Animate and engage the regional TPM Community through webinars, trainings, and share‑and‑learn sessions.

• Establishment of model TPM sites and a clear regional scaling roadmap.
• Significant improvements in Equipment Reliability (OEE), Maintenance Cost (Spend), and Workforce Efficiency (Headcount optimization).
• Measurable progress in TPM maturity across the region.
• Strong capability growth through certifications, coaching, and the development of TPM experts.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Industrial Management, or related field is required.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, industrial performance, maintenance, or continuous improvement.
• Demonstrated experience deploying TPM or similar methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, CI).
• Strong analytical skills in cost analysis, capacity modeling, and operational performance.
• Experience coaching and…
