• Translate manufacturing issues into clear problem statements, action plans, and trackable workstreams.

• Support manufacturing launches and plant integration by aligning readiness criteria, operating plans, and communication.

• Improve standard planning, reporting, and governance practices as SDV/VaaT expands across programs and plants.
