Main tasks and responsibilities
Safety
* Ensuring all risk assessments are carried out thoroughly and maintained effectively.
* Supporting investigations on LTI, near misses and other safety incidents.
* Accountable for all safety incidents within manufacturing engineering.
* Continuously work on engineering solutions to reduce risk in the production processes.
Lead factory design and layout projects:
* Develop and implement optimal factory layouts to improve material flow using Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen and other Six Sigma tools to minimize waste, and enhance production efficiency.
* Experience in the use of DMADV and tools part, this approach is very critical to problem-solving to aid fixing the problems of tomorrow.
* Design and implement efficient workstations that prioritize ergonomics and operator safety.
* Specify and integrate new equipment and technologies to enhance production capabilities and capacity by utilising CAD, CNC, AutoCAD/Solidworks/Pro-E (Creo) to create detailed layouts, models, and simulations of the factory environment.
Optimize existing production lines:
* Analyze existing production lines to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement.
* Implement lean manufacturing principles, such as 5S, value stream mapping, and Kaizen events, to optimize workflows and reduce waste.
* Develop and implement standardized work procedures and visual management systems to improve efficiency and quality.
* Improving productivity and optimising work processes using a data driven approach.
Drive continuous improvement:
* Support and lead root cause analysis (RCCA) initiatives to address production or quality issues.
* Contribute to the development and implementation of a visual production system consistent with the Cargotec Production System.
* Identify and implement continuous improvement projects to enhance line performance, reduce downtime, and improve overall efficiency.
Provide technical expertise and support:
* Provide technical guidance and support to operations and engineering teams on manufacturing processes, equipment, and tooling.
* Troubleshoot production issues and implement corrective actions.
* Develop and implement systems for monitoring and analyzing equipment performance to maximize reliability and availability.
Collaborate on new product introduction (NPI):
* Work closely with R&D and product development teams to ensure Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles are incorporated into new product designs.
* Lead the transition of new products from development to production, ensuring a smooth and efficient launch process.
* Develop and implement manufacturing processes and procedures for new products.
Benefits of this Role:
* Significant impact: The role offers the opportunity to significantly impact manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and overall company profitability.
