  • Must have a strong working knowledge of Automotive, General Assembly, Production, Process and Maintenance.
  • Strong knowledge of continuous improvement systems.
  • Knowledge of other process systems, quality systems, throughput, standardization, and product/process launch.
  • Ability to manage and coordinate complex projects while maintaining simplistic communications to others.
