Industrial Engineer - Launch

Responsibilities

• The resources provided will require a good understanding of Automotive Assembly Process in an assembly plant environment with MODAPTS certification and applications.

• Analyze and calculate EST (Engineering Standard Time) using Teamcenter
• Initiate and complete paper scroll, an initial scroll completed in excel that will be transferred to AMPs (Automated Manufacturing Planning System)
• Collaborate with cross functional launch team to validate paper scroll
• Participate in digital scrolls
• Develop work assignment in AMPS for all operations following VPE (Vehicle Process Engineering) standard including MODAPTS estimate, process sheet and part assignment
• Ensure the saturation and process expectations of each man assignment abides by the specific launch requirements
• Work directly with Process Engineers to ensure that all process sheet steps have been addressed and assigned in the work assignment (including safety / critical joints, tooling, and quality inclusions as applicable).
• Create Standard Work with MODAPTS time utilizing AMPS
• Identify work requirements by VA (Value Added) / NVA (Non-Value Added) to help identify and eliminate waste in the process.
• Work with all other departments (Tooling, Ergonomics, Quality, Materials, Launch Team, etc.) to ensure that everything is in place as identified in the Standard Work.
• Review work assignments with the Union in the Launch environment to gain buyoff on the elements, order of execution, and times assigned.
• Review layouts established by Station Designers to ensure that the facility requirements and NVA walk meet the expectations of the Standard Work and buyoff layout.
• Provide documentation to union workers to validate Standard Work during slow builds at build locations, and Pilot builds at the assembly plants.
• Perform Rate Capability requirements during builds to ensure that the Standard Work meets the requirement and is not over cycle. This includes static and dynamic rate capability assessments. Implement the resolution required to bring the non-conforming stations into cycle.
• Meet saturation, product design, ergonomics, safety, quality, and any other plant specific requirements
• Perform cycle time validation checks for assembly lines and automated systems. Verify these are functioning at the determined rates or within cycle. Drive the solutions that bring these to rate and within the target specifications.
• Assign DNUM (electrical connection identification numbers) to the AMPS (Automated Manufacturing Planning System) job step that processes the connection or part. The required DNUMs are provided by quality and the electrical teams.
• Assign QIDs (Quality Identification number) and MPBOs (Mandatory Positive Buy Offs) to the appropriate job steps in AMPS. These are provided to the IE team as part of the quality plan.
• Request simulations to the Virtual Assembly team for processes where additional detail is needed to assess man assignment details/flow, tooling interfaces, vehicle clearances and assembly sequences.
• Review all changes from product and process engineering and update the scroll. Create playbook 1 pagers to explain the impact of the change to the scroll. Calculate process time impact for engineering changes and feedback information to product team.
• Ensure standard work in the SWI (Standard Work Instruction) does not exceed the program identified station saturation
• Utilize RMS (Readiness Management System) to log all issues associated with the launch
• Utilize change control to log and receive buyoffs for all standard work changes that occur after scroll freeze
• Identify and resolve throughput issues utilizing kaizen methodology
• Identify stations impacts caused by the launch cadence for each variant and option introduction

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field/work experience
• MODAPTS certified and proficient
• Proficient in MS Office / Google Suite applications
• Experience working in a union environment
• Effective communication and presentation skills
• Experience utilizing AMPs or designated Client Standard Work software preferred (Bidder responsible for training as required)
• Experience utilizing Teamcenter required (Bidder responsible for training as required)
• The bidder shall list the years of automotive experience each engineer has by position.

• 7+ years of automotive assembly experience in an Industrial Engineering position
• 2+ years of leadership experience

• 5+ years of automotive or manufacturing experience in an Industrial Engineering position
• Autom Assembly Line balancing experience required

• Automotive or manufacturing knowledge preferred
• Time study knowledge
