Position Responsibilities- Deploy and manage the organization’s continuous improvement program in alignment with the enterprise CI strategy and overall business objectives - owning execution, sustainment, and results at the site and value-stream level.
- Lead Lean, Six Sigma, and other process improvement initiatives to enhance safety, quality, productivity, and cost-efficiency - chartering, facilitating, and closing high-impact projects with disciplined action-item closure and sustainment audits.
- Oversee the analysis, optimization, and standardization of manufacturing, services, and supply chain processes - partnering with production planning and process owners to document standard work and stabilize core processes before they are encoded into D365 workflows, so waste and variation are eliminated rather than digitized.
- Support the D365 / ERP implementation from the process side: lead value stream mapping and process design ahead of configuration, drive post-go-live stabilization kaizen targeting transaction discipline, data accuracy, and process adherence, and help convert daily management boards and CI metrics from manual tracking to system-fed data without losing floor ownership.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, quality, and maintenance teams to identify process bottlenecks and implement sustainable solutions.
- Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress and ensure continuous improvement goals are met - including validated hard savings, cycle-time and work-in-process reduction, scrap/rework…
