  • Support Plan for Every Part (PFEP) development and lead station-by-station reviews to determine delivery methods, material handling requirements, and presentation devices for each operation.
  • Create and maintain accurate material flow data, part routings, and master part tracking documentation for future programs and steady-state operations.
  • Develop layouts and space utilization plans for lineside presentation, storage areas, kitting cells, repack areas, routes, and support equipment using CAD or similar visualization tools.
  • Lead or support launch execution activities for new programs, engineering changes, and material strategy implementation at the plant.
  • Drive labor optimization and productivity improvements through work measurement, indirect labor analysis, route planning, and standardized lean material handling practices.
  • Partner with production, supply chain, containerization, launch, and engineering teams to develop practical and scalable material delivery solutions.
  • Support continuous improvement activities by analyzing existing operations, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing countermeasures that improve throughput, cost, ergonomics, and operator efficiency.
  • Ensure material systems and workstation support designs align with safety, ergonomic, quality, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Coach and support plant teams in the adoption of standardized LMS processes, lean principles, and best practices.
  • Work as one team across all levels of the organization to drive accountability, execution, and results.
