Misiune
Role Overview This position focuses on leading assembly line balancing, process optimization, and launch support for new product introductions within a vehicle manufacturing environment. The candidate will drive standardized work, eliminate throughput bottlenecks using pre-determined time standards (MTM, MOST, MODAPTS) and 3D CAD tools, and collaborate across cross-functional engineering and operations teams to achieve launch targets.
Key Responsibilities
Develop standardized work and balance operator workloads to align with takt time for new product introductions using pre-determined time standards (MTM, MOST, MODAPTS).
Determine build sequences by evaluating product models using 3D CAD.
Lead line balance workshops with cross-functional teams including operations, product engineering, safety, quality, and workstation designers.
Refine line balancing by accounting for assembly sequences, ergonomic guidelines, and facility constraints.
Direct throughput and bottleneck analyses to identify performance improvements and remove production constraints.
Guide Station Design, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality teams on implementing design and process enhancements.
Validate PFMEA and technical process documentation for compliance and launch readiness.
Participate in continuous improvement (Kaizen) initiatives and lean manufacturing events.
Monitor and report core launch metrics, including cycle time adherence, first-time quality, downtime, and overall throughput.
Provide hands-on support for pilot builds, tool tryouts, and process validation during pre-production phases.
