The Continuous Improvement Engineer is responsible for the development and delivery of the Manufacturing Operating System (Manufacturing Operating System - MOS) within the plant. This program is an enabler to deliver the plant Compelling Business Need (CBN). The role is to hands-on supporting the Plant Manager in driving the manufacturing excellence culture (improve and lock), building on the principles of zero loss, zero defects and a 100% engagement within the plant.
Goal and Key Accountabilities
The Continuous Improvement Engineer provides hands-on support to the Plant Leadership Team in delivering the key plant results (Compelling Business Need - CBN), such as zero safety accidents, zero quality (losses), cost savings, efficiency improvement, 100% Customer Service Level and 100% engagement using the Manufacturing Operating System - MOS program as an enabler. The role is responsible for developing and delivering the Manufacturing Operating System - MOS roadmap for the plant, building on the standard Manufacturing Operating System - MOS program.
Responsibilities and Key Activities
Leadership:
Learn and fully grasp JDE Standards on Fundamental CI methodologies (e.g., RCA, 5S, PDCA, OPS and Zero Based Loss Analysis)
Leads the Fundamental Pillar of the Plant to develop basic Continuous Improvement (CI) capability (Root Cause Analysis, 5S, PDCA, OPS, Zero Based Loss Analysis, Kaizen)
Drives MOS roll-out in the plant by creating a drumbeat for the Pillars to define objectives, team structure, skills matrix and regular follow-through on the work plan execution status
Leads specific Continuous Improvement initiatives (e.g., 5S Implementation and Root Cause Analysis)
Train shop floor associates on Autonomous Maintenance (e.g., Defects Tagging, One Point Lesson, CIL concepts and execution)
Leads or facilitates a specific Loss Reduction project (e.g., Material/Labor Productivity, GE Improvement, Energy Conservation)
Works closely with the Global Pillar Leaders to ensure Manufacturing Operating System is implemented according to JDE Standards
Drives proactive benchmarking with other internal and external Continuous Improvement experts to generate best practices
Delivery & Cost:
With guidance from the Plant Manager & inputs from Plant Leadership Team, develop Manufacturing Operating System - MOS implementation plan to deliver the plant Compelling Business Need (CBN), with a clear focus on zero defects, zero losses and a total engagement culture. This plan needs to be consistent with standard JDE Manufacturing Operating System - MOS roadmap
Implements the standard Manufacturing Operating System - MOS Continuous Improvement program, pillar structure and related capabilities
Owns daily Operations Performance System (OPS) Meeting Structure, Basic Problem Solving tools (Root Cause Analysis, Kaizen, Single Minute Exchange of Dies - SMED) and 5S
Supports cost reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives; specifically on analyzing current state to quantify opportunities, then facilitate brainstorming sessions with prioritization criteria
Updates relevant information, tracking and reporting systems
QualificationsDegree in Engineering (or related field)
Preferable with Certification in Total Productive Maintenance (e.g., Autonomous Maintenance) or Lean Six Sigma (e.g., Green Belt)
Additional Information2 - 5 years experience in manufacturing environment
Previous working experience with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Lean Production System is a strong plus
MS Office, efficient with MS Excel Analysis
Cross-functional exposure and collaboration
Project management experience (leading, facilitating or key contributor of improvement projects). Will be great if candidate can demonstrate one past improvement project.#J-18808-Ljbffr
