About The Position

Provides industrial engineering consultation in support of operational and productivity improvements. This role involves maintaining capacity planning models, creating and maintaining 'Plan for Every Part' documents for new business quotes, program launches, capacity updates, and service operations. The engineer will develop and administer a plant layout process based on Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) and Systematic Handling Analysis (SHA) principles to optimize material handling, including flow and storage, and maintain associated drawings. Responsibilities also include holding plant layout reviews, assisting with the development and maintenance of a plant-wide scheduling and inventory system (WMS), applying time and motion study techniques, evaluating forklift truck and driver utilization, and recommending optimization changes. The role involves recommending, developing, and implementing cost reduction ideas, assisting with improvement activities, CI project management, lean tool usage, evaluating 'what if' scenarios for operational processes and product design, benchmarking other companies, revising IE support functions, and evaluating idea submissions. Additionally, the position requires performing process modeling and analysis using value stream tools and simulation software, participating in Six Sigma projects, and complying with Nascote's ISO14001, TS16949, and Health and Safety policies. The role may require working any shift, overtime, weekends, and occasional travel, as well as participating in all required training.
