Objectives
To ensure product and process readiness during New Product Introduction (NPI) and production transition by establishing robust manufacturing processes, improving production efficiency, maintaining product quality and achieving on-time delivery through continuous improvement and cross-functional collaboration.
Key Responsibilities
- Review engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs) and product specifications to ensure product and process readiness.
- Develop build documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions.
- Validate product configurations and manufacturing processes during pilot builds and NPI activities.
- Lead PFMEA, Control Plan and 4M1E readiness to minimise process risks and ensure smooth production transitions.
- Monitor and analyse production performance, including labour hours, first-pass yield (FPY) and cycle time.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives, including Kaizen and Lean Manufacturing, to enhance productivity and reduce waste.
- Identify, troubleshoot and resolve technical and process-related issues to minimise production disruptions.
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure production readiness, process efficiency and on-time delivery.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronic, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, or an equivalent qualification.
- Minimum 2 years of experience in equipment build, process engineering or system integration.
- Hands-on experience in mechanical assembly, electrical wiring and system integration testing.
- Knowledge of PFMEA, Control Plans, 4M1E and Lean Manufacturing principles.
- Familiarity with NPI, pilot builds, manufacturing process validation and production readiness.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
- Ability to analyse production data and drive continuous process improvements.
- Good communication, interpersonal and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Self-motivated, hands-on and able to work independently as well as in a team.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage priorities and meet deadlines.
