Responsible for owning manufacturing processes and standards, enforcing implementation by training shop floor personnel, implementing and monitoring metrics, and oversight.Responsible for solving complex manufacturing problems and taking an active role in troubleshooting quality and production yield-related issues within manufacturing. In charge of finding, investigating, and/or creating new, next-generation, innovative, and cost-effective technology solutions required to manufacture existing and new products. This includes the creation and development of a manufacturing technology roadmap for new and existing product technologies. For new technologies, takes processes from the concept phase all the way to successful implementation.The position can occur in Process, Production, or Technology. The Process role involves providing innovative and cost-effective processes and solutions required to manufacture products. This includes the design and development of new and improved manufacturing techniques, processes, and procedures. Responsible for developing, maintaining, and continuously improving manufacturing processes and techniques using LEAN. Develops standards and establishes implementation plans, including training plans for shop floor personnel, and production metrics. Collaborates with Engineering and Manufacturing Technology to ensure processes are created and developed for new products and that return-on-experience is captured for existing processes.For ProductionLean Six Sigma: Responsible for the implementation of key elements of Lean, such as standardized work instructions, line balancing, layout and work sequence optimization, training development matrix, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen/5S workouts, pull processes, TPM, cell design, and quick changeover/batch-size optimization.Processes: Implement process improvements to achieve manufacturing excellence in areas such as process yield, cycle time reduction, and productivity. Provide shop floor feedback on product design and manufacturability issues to Engineering and DFMs. Review and sign-off on Engineering Change Orders that impact Inventory.Quality: Assist with investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action implementation for manufacturing quality issues.For TechnologyLean Six Sigma: Ensure new processes are established using Lean concepts. Drive continuous improvement projects on manufacturing processes.Processes: Evaluate and benchmark best-in-class manufacturing techniques. Establish pilot testing and scale-up plan for manufacturing technology implementation. Coordinate with stakeholders during prove-out testing of processes.Quality: Ensure manufacturing technology solutions achieve the required quality levels, reliability, and consistency.Nesco Resource offers a comprehensive benefits package for our associates, which includes a MEC (Minimum Essential Coverage) plan that encompasses Medical, Vision, Dental, 401K, and EAP (Employee Assistance Program) services.Nesco Resource provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws.
