This position is responsible for development, maintenance and improvement of work standards management utilizing industrial engineering tools and WCM problem solving methodology. During all activities this position will utilize, establish and/or maintain validated standards working in the Industrialization Engineering team utilizing proper change control and within proper approvals.

Typical job activities include the evaluation and improvement of manufacturing processes. Implementing methods to drive quality control and the reduction of waste. Improving productivity through process/procedure and tooling improvements. Development and implementation of standardized work instructions. Leading of improvement projects to improve production efficiencies, reduce waste, improve material flow, standardize the elements of work and to develop and maintain time standards. Skillsets should include project management, time studies, ergonomics, station & plant layouts, PFDs, VSMs and PFMEAs.

Areas of focus will include compounding, extrusion, assembly, molding, and packaging. All projects will require a mindset with the safety and quality of our employees and customers in focus.

This person should have a proven high level of analytical ability to manage data. They should have the ability to apply lean manufacturing to developing systems and instructions with history of demonstrated success using time studies, 5S, Six Sigma / WCM principles.

This role will require an in-depth knowledge of our products/processes, the soft skills necessary with working in a team, and the project management abilities to define, execute, and complete a variety of projects/tasks. Some tasks may include (but are not limited to): Change Orders, Validations (raw materials, equipment, parts and processes), Tech Transfers, and Process Improvements.
