Senior Production Engineer

• On-Time Delivery to Commit (OTD):Align daily, weekly, and monthly production schedules with supply chain commitments to achieve 100% On-Time Delivery to Commit, coordinating material availability and shift allocations.
• Manufacturing Cycle Time Optimization:Rigorously calculate, review, and continuously update standard cycle times across all production lines and cells; conduct time-and-motion studies to eliminate non-value-added bottlenecks.
• Changeover Reduction & SMED Implementation:Calculate, review, and systematically reduce tool, die, and mold changeover times through Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodologies and standardized operator setup checklists.
• First Time Quality (FTQ) & Defect Elimination:Drive First Time Quality (FTQ) across every processing stage, establishing rigorous in-process poka-yoke checks to prevent defective parts from reaching downstream assembly.
• Capacity Utilization Review & Planning:Calculate, review, update, and optimize plant capacity utilization; balance line workloads to accommodate demand fluctuations while maintaining high asset availability.
• Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Maximization:Track, monitor, and improve overall OEE (Availability, Performance, and Quality); partner closely with Maintenance and Tooling teams to reduce downtime in proportion to operating time.

• Health & Safety Compliance (Zero Incidents):Ensure complete workplace safety compliance; eliminate hazards, conduct risk assessments, enforce mandatory PPE and machine guarding, and minimize reportable health and safety incidents to zero.
• Downtime Reduction & Loss Tracking:Analyze downtime logs in proportion to total operating time; categorize micro-stops and technical stoppages to lead joint corrective actions with maintenance engineers.
• Rework, Scrap & Material Waste Reduction:Implement structured scrap containment, rework minimization protocols, and lean waste reduction techniques (Muda/Muri/Mura) to continuously drive down material loss and cost of quality.
• Lean Manufacturing & Continuous Improvement:Champion Kaizen initiatives, 5S workplace organization, standard work combinations, and visual management systems on the production floor.
