Responsibilities

Capture the current process including all physical constraints, business rules and detailed decision logic into a 3D simulation-based virtual factory to serve as process and operational knowledge base.
Create feasible results, plans and schedules for shop floor, warehouse, factory & supply chain execution in all the relevant time ranges by ensuring that all scheduled operations are resource capacity, material, and timeline feasible.
Maintain an adaptive, data generated and driven virtual factory to always retain a “current status” digital reference model for determining future performance of the factory/supply chain whenever required for different transformation projects and investment decisions.
Own the design of new production lines and work station layouts, both for low rate and full-rate production, leveraging a data-driven approach
Proactively identify high variation processes, imbalances and bottlenecks caused by line layout, equipment constraints, staffing shortages, and other production inputs; flag constraints with the appropriate owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality and drive to resolution
Translate and drive action from metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, such as cycle time, throughput rate, capacity, utilization, and first pass yield
Produce and maintain capacity plans, balanced line layouts, staffing allocations, and time standards for manufacturing work content
Collaborate and drive operational improvements end-to-end for next-generation defense products as we scale in maturity and production rate.
Work across domains, from execution-based work to the strategic future state of a product or business line
