Overview
Summary
A brief description of the primary purpose of this job. Under general supervision, develops, designs and plans equipment and machine layouts, workflow, and safety precautions to maximize utilization of manufacturing facilities. Analyzes existing industrial engineering techniques and develops recommendations for changes to working methods that will minimize cost, and time taken; increases yields and productivity; and improves the quality and consistency of final products. Support IE activities for two facilities. Travel is required between the two facilities. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Cycle Time Reduction: Percentage decrease in the time required to complete a process or workflow. Cost Reduction: Total or percentage savings achieved through process improvement initiatives. Workflow Bottlenecks Resolved: Number of identified and addressed process blockages. Process Standardization: Increase in the percentage of processes with documented and standardized workflows. Essential Functions
Conducts studies to determine the most efficient sequence of operations and workflow and recommends methods for maximum utilization of production facilities and personnel. Reviews production schedules, engineering specifications, orders, and related information to obtain knowledge of manufacturing methods, procedures, and activities. Evaluates worker productivity and recommends improvements to increase manpower efficiency and operating performance, reduce waste and delays, and promote cost control/reductions. Analyzes and redesigns workstations for improved ergonomics and lean manufacturing concepts. Analyzes statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establishes quality and reliability objectives of finished product. Ensures compliance with established industry safety and design standards and guidelines. Develops metrics to measure plant and equipment capacity output and identify equipment and process flow bottlenecks. Establishes accident prevention measures, plans and schedules training programs. Maintain process routes for parts and finished goods. Maintain production standards for fabricated parts and finished goods. Education & Experience
The minimum education and experience required to successfully perform the essential functions. Preferred requirements can also be included in this section. Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or related field and/ or 3 to 5 years of experience applying industrial engineering techniques and concepts. Must have prior experience performing time studies, line balances, and line layouts using Lean Manufacturing concepts and capacity analysis. Preferred Skills (Not Required): Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or other process improvement methodologies. Experience with ERP or CRM systems. Certification in project management (e.g., PMP, CAPM) or process improvement (e.g., Lean Six Sigma Green Belt). Knowledge & Skills
Lean manufacturing and other continuous improvement programs experience Understanding of lean manufacturing and six sigma; strong analytical, problem solving, verbal and written communication skills Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to interact with all levels of the organization Knowledge of business environments and understanding of common business procedures Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and familiarity with process management tools (e.g. Smartsheet) Physical Requirements
Works predominantly on the manufacturing floor. May be exposed to heat, electrical and mechanical hazards, noise, solvents, dust, dirt, fumes, contaminants, cold, noise, vibration, etc. Climbing, stooping, kneeling, lifting, pulling, pushing and ability to move material weighing up to 40 lbs. Ability to perform basic preventive maintenance tasks on tools and equipment. Ability to use hand tools, power tools, gas torches and measuring instruments. Ability to read blueprints, technical manuals and use measuring equipment. Requires standing for prolonged periods of time. Manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination Must be able to walk and use hands. Ability to read, write, listen, and communicate effectively.
