• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to boost productivity, quality, and operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement productivity improvement measures, ensuring the smooth flow of materials, products, and information across production.

• Monitor production performance metrics and present data-driven insights to management to support decision-making and performance enhancement.
• Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to support process consistency and quality standards.
• Design and implement ergonomic solutions to enhance operator safety, reduce fatigue, and improve overall efficiency.
• Support the development of process control systems to monitor and optimise production performance.
• Provide project management support for new product introductions, ensuring process improvements are embedded in new production lines from the outset.
• Assist in the analysis and design of new product and process flows to ensure cost-effective, scalable, and efficient operations.
• Evaluate equipment and tooling effectiveness, recommending upgrades or modifications to improve operational performance.
