Provide production training on MPIs.
Manage Bills of Materials (BOMs) and ensure accurate routing setup in SFCS systems.
Manage and maintain the Shop Floor Control System (SFCS).
Define tooling scope and oversee the design and building of assembly fixtures and jigs.
Lead First Article Inspection (FAI) and sample-building phases to validate process capability before mass production.
Analyze production-line defects and lead root-cause analysis to improve yield and reduce scrap.
Assist with quality complaints and implement corrective actions for production-line problems.
Lead Design for Manufacturing/Assembly (DFM/DFA) reviews to assess whether server and rack designs support high-speed assembly.
Manage the transition from New Product Introduction to Mass Production and ensure process capability (Cpk) is met before ramp-up.
Lead defect investigations using 8D or 5-Why methodologies.
Monitor First Pass Yield (FPY) and implement corrective actions to reduce scrap and rework.
Manage the test-infrastructure BOM and collaborate with MFG tech to set up SLT/RLT infrastructure.
Develop and maintain the floor-stock BOM.
Perform continuous-improvement work using the Lean program.
Conduct time-and-motion studies and capacity analyses for manufacturing processes.
Collaborate with production teams to address process and quality issues and implement corrective actions.
Collaborate with QE, TE, and PM to align quality objectives and priorities.
