• Conduct work measurement study using MOST to determine labor requirements.
• Conduct time and motion studies to eliminate bottlenecks and recommend changes for productivity improvement.
• Conduct Method Improvement Ergonomics Improvement study.
• Develop standardized work procedures and maintain documentation.
• Develop and maintain clear and accurate documentation of process improvements.
• Design and develop machinery and equipment using engineering principles.
• Analyze production data to identify trends and optimize workflows.
• Implement lean manufacturing principles (5S, Kaizen, Kanban, VSM) to optimize operations for continuous improvement.
• Assist in setting production goals and monitor performance metrics to ensure objectives are met.
• Plan capacity and manage inventory control.
• Design efficient layouts using CAD and simulation tools.
• Lead projects for cost reduction, process improvement, and new product introduction.
• Train plant personnel on new processes and equipment.

Must have:

• Bachelor’s degree in industrial or mechanical engineering (or related field).
• Minimum 3 year experience in manufacturing/assembly.
• MOST certification and documented experience of using MOST.
