Responsibilities
Lead the New Product Introduction (NPI) process by collaborating with R&D; at the earliest design stages, ensuring manufacturing constraints, plant capabilities, and automation requirements are integrated into the product DNA before design freeze. Drive operational excellence through rigorous Yamazumi modeling, ensuring all manufacturing processes are perfectly balanced to Takt time,
neutralizing bottlenecks and bridging disconnected "islands of automation" to maximize plant‐wide throughput.
Oversee the translation of Yamazumi work‐content data and line‐balancing profiles into discrete event simulation models, capturing granular process data to virtually stress‐test the production environment and validate throughput targets before physical implementation. Direct rigorous Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews, acting as the final gatekeeper for manufacturability and identifying assembly risks early to reduce engineering change orders after launch.
Utilize simulation tools for "What‐If" analysis on proposed line layouts, accounting for variable demand and supply‐chain lags, and oversee the selection and validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) of manufacturing equipment specific to power electronics. Lead root‐cause analysis for production issues using FMEA and Six Sigma, establishing a feedback loop wh
