You will have a clear vision for best practice, a focus in making sustainable change in the pursuit of efficiency and proven experience of implementing Lean (or similar) into a Manufacturing facility. In the role, you will become the subject matter expert within your field and take responsibility for ongoing process development, supporting new product introduction (NPI) and change management within production.
