Process Lean Design Leader

The Process Lean Design Leader ensures Lean and 3P (Production Process Preparation) principles, and flexibility requirements are embedded upstream, at the earliest stages of product and production process design, before CAPEX commitment.

This is a global Lean design, arbitration, and transformation role, not a support function.

The leader also defines a plan to address flexibility driven by our manufacturing regionalization, based on 3P principles.

The role has the leadership and credibility to challenge, process design based on product, manufacturing location competencies and growth plan over complexity and over-automation.

The role develops the competencies of industrialization team on the Lean design approach.

Key Objectives
• Structurally reduce product and industrial cost
• Radically simplify production lines and architectures
• Improve performance, robustness, and flexibility
• Shorten time-to-market while limiting CAPEX and risk
• Build and lead a global network of Lean Process / 3P leaders

Scope
• All process types and BUs: Assembly (manual & automated), ETO, PCBA ..

What will you do?

3P Methodology Ownership
• Define, deploy, and continuously improve the 3P methodology
• Lead or coach redesign initiatives to eliminate non-value-added automation
• Improve flow, footprint, maintainability, and ramp-up based on Takt Time, Single piece flow, SMED principles
• Build and drive the plant to integrate 3P integration in OLM and

Industrialization Referential

Upstream Design & CAPEX Arbitration
• Ensure industrial solutions are defined before CAPEX engagement, based on: 1) Systematic 3P Methodology 2) Receiving manufacturing plant expectations, competencies, technologies choices
3) Demand scenarios, flexibility needs, speed-to-market constraints and 4) Fact-based trade-offs

Flexibility
• Increase the flexibility of our industrial processes, for long tail SKUs, localization or ramp-up phase to minimize Capex per SKUs.
• With Electrifier, Indus, external benchmark line vendors, build new referential that allows for flexibility and fast go to market with a x10 improvement on product cost at ramp-up
General

Direct Leadership & Governance
• Build and drive the schedule for 3P applications based on rolling next 24 months industrialization project, for NPI, Duplication, renovation,
• Personally lead selected 3P projects
• Translate learnings into scalable design rules.

Challenge legacy standards and architecture
• Track key KPIs (CAPEX, surface, cost, OEE, SUR)

Interface & Role evolution
• Develop the role into an Industrialization Performance System role, with 3P as core
• Engage with Industrialization Assembly, PCBA, Technologies, line vendors to improve our process design, selection principles, investment principles and be 3P compliant by default
• Interface with the production process design SMDP, our standards management for industrialization, to develop flexibility principles
