• Own the CBS global manufacturing capacity planning model and establish one controlled view of demand, secured capacity, constraints, ramp assumptions, and required investments across the manufacturing network.
• Translate customer forecasts, program build plans, and allocation assumptions into required production hours, equipment quantities, line capacity, shifts, labor, and site loading by month.
• Define and govern standard capacity assumptions including cycle time, OEE, yield, attrition, planned downtime, available manufacturing hours, changeover, maintenance, utilization targets, and ramp curves.
Consolidate site capacity data into a common model that supports consistent comparison across Vietnam, China, Mexico, USA, and future CBS manufacturing locations.
• Provide executive-level visibility of capacity coverage, gaps, timing, mitigation plans, and Cap Ex requirements before customer demand is impacted.
• Capacity vs. Demand Management
  - Maintain short-, medium-, and long-range capacity models by program, product family, process, site, and equipment family. Show demand hours, secured capacity hours, coverage percentage, and risk status using controlled assumptions.
• Ramp Capacity Planning
  - Model capacity through NPI and production ramp, accounting for phased equipment availability, qualification timing, learning curves, yield maturation, staffing readiness, and expected OEE progression.
• Constraint & Bottleneck Analysis
  - Identify physical and operational bottlenecks, quantify the magnitude and timing of each gap, and determine whether the constraint is driven by equipment, process, labor, test, material flow, floor space, or readiness.
• Scenario & Allocation Modeling
  - Evaluate alternative site allocations, production transfers, shift patterns, overtime, equipment redeployment, line conversions, outsourcing, or phased Cap Ex. Quantify capacity, cost, schedule, and risk tradeoffs for leadership decisions.
• Equipment / Cap Ex Requirements
  - Convert verified capacity gaps into equipment and line requirements, including quantity, timing, utilization, required operational readiness, and the impact of supplier lead time, installation, debug, and qualification.
• Capacity Governance
  - Lead recurring global capacity reviews with site IE, Planning, Operations, Automation, Finance, and…
