• What to Expect

As the Production Control Process Engineering, you will collaborate on the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of internal material logistics to manufacturing lines with respect to safety, efficiency, cost and quality.

Through true cross-departmental collaboration, our process engineers design and implement conveyance methods, manpower requirements, equipment needs, lineside layouts, warehouse layouts and replenishment methods to convey raw material effectively and safely to the line. However, our job only begins with design.

Through a continuous feedback loop with our operations team, we constantly evaluate and improve our processes to streamline material flow by eliminating non-value-added activities. This never-ending persistence for excellence is a core value to our team and essential to achieving a World Class Manufacturing system.

• Execute granular warehouse layouts to optimize material flow and implement visual 5T signage for operations to effectively store material
• Collaborate with Manufacturing and Production Engineers to design lineside part presentation layouts in CAD/Revit ensuring all parts are presented in an ergonomic manner and quantities suffice for conveyance delivery cycle times
• Execute manpower calculations at various vehicle output rates to ensure Production Control Operations is properly staffed to meet demand. Utilize Yamazumi’s to ensure associate utilization is balanced. Provide requirements for equipment needs based on designed processes
• Ability to learn our internally developed inventory management system MFS (Material Flow System) which will be used to configure the systematic process flow steps to match the defined physical processes

What You'll Bring

• 2+ years of experience in material flow engineering, process engineering, continuous improvement engineering, supply chain engineering, logistics, or manufacturing
• Commanding knowledge of lean manufacturing principles, logistics business systems, pre-determined motion and time standards
• Experience in mining, collecting, cleansing and analyzing data using Excel, SQL, or other analytical tools
• Proficient in AutoCAD and Revit to execute granular layouts
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skillsets to collectively work through problem solving
• Proven experience utilizing lean manufacturing tools to effectively analyze problems to their root cause and implement solutions
• Previous World Class Manufacturing or Lean Manufacturing experience
