Plant Manufacturing Capacity / Capability - TEK, CpK, Ergo, safety compliance to meet customer requirements.

Value stream Planning

Assess internal & external requirements (e.g. BU, Plant, VS, BP, customer), true north and VS vision, support in developing future state VSD with focus topics, collaborate with Cross Functional stake holders to identify, drive and implement projects to improve Value stream efficiency & achieve operational excellence.

Delivery performance, TRLT, MAE Utilization

Management of Production Processes

Implement customer specific and product requirements, establish/develop the processes (e.g. CpK study, PPAP, routing & ROS etc), controls to manage processes (e.g. FMEA, BBM process compass, WI, etc), methods to track & monitor customer requirements, reaction to non-conforming parts to ensure defect free products.

Process Maturity Improvement

Cost Management and contingency planning

Estimate & propose budgets for planning periods to run operations, fulfil demands and execute development projects. Plan and implement VAO cost reduction projects to meet cost/pc. targets at VS level. Develop and implement actions & validate contingency plans to evaluate risk and ensure business continuity.

Cost/pc - VAO targets

IPN functions

Administer IPN lead plant functions - present focus projects, assess and oversee volume allocation, TEK and ECR for manufacturing. Co-ordinate PPR meetings with IPN management, Collaborate with controlling to determine and allocate cost to IPN.

Adherence to IPN guidelines and target achievement

Problem Solving

Initiate and execute solution to complex problem independently to improve VS performance. Contribute innovative solutions to Purchase organization for improve Material cost reduction projects (e.g MATATHON). Develop competencies at shopfloor on processes to promote problem solving using DOE (e.g. Shainin)

No. of Implemented projects (shainin, MAT)

Audit and Assessments

Ensure successful completion of audit for Sub VS as per process landscape: IATF, PS/QMM1, internal and other external audits like customer audits, extended work bench.

Conformance to Audits (internal & External), No. of nonconformity

Change Initiatives & project Management

Implement approved projects in collaboration with VSO to improve VS Efficiency and effectiveness. Develop project charter and project management plan, coordinate, drive and implement project plan in collaboration with cross functional teams to enable business growth.

No. of breakthrough projects implemented (design/process innovation)

Facilitator for I4.0 or RPP

Facilitate ideation and implementation of digital / RPP projects in the Value Stream, in co-ordination with VSO members to achieve the digital as well as cost reduction / saving targets for the VS.

Adherence to digital / cost targets
