Product Industrial Engineer

Key Responsibilities

MBOM Structure, Routing & Data Governance



* Translate EBOMs into production-ready MBOMs; audit incoming engineering data and configure structures in SAP (or equivalent ERP)


* Create, review, and maintain accurate BOMs/MBOMs and manufacturing routings, including operation sequences, work centers, and process steps


* Establish accurate item categories (Stock, Non-stock, Text), scrap factors, and phantom assemblies


* Manage alternative and variant BOM configurations to support unique assembly rules across multiple plants/locations


* Ensure BOM/routing data aligns with engineering drawings, specifications, and actual shop-floor processes


* Synchronize MBOM/routing data with adjacent ERP objects, including Material Master Records, Production Routings, and Work Centers

Change Management & Data Quality



* Incorporate engineering changes (ECOs/ECNs) into BOMs and routings in a timely manner, using ERP Engineering Change Management (e.g., SAP ECM/Change Numbers) to track revisions and schedule material effectivity dates


* Execute mass maintenance (e.g., SAP CS20 and mass-data tools) to globally update/swap obsolete parts and component quantities


* Audit BOM/routing data periodically and perform system health checks to identify and correct discrepancies, eliminating unconfigured items that could disrupt MRP or production order releases


* Develop and maintain standard work documentation, ensuring work instructions reflect current, repeatable best practices on the shop floor

Standard Time & Labor Management



* Conduct time studies (stopwatch, MTM/MOST, predetermined time systems, historical data analysis, or similar) to establish accurate standard times for manufacturing operations


* Maintain and update labor standards in the ERP system to reflect process changes, tooling upgrades, or automation improvements


* Analyze variances between standard and actual production times; investigate root causes and recommend corrective actions


* Partner with Operations to validate standards against real-time production performance

Process & Continuous Improvement



* Support capacity planning and production scheduling through accurate routing, BOM, and time data


* Identify opportunities for process improvement, cycle time reduction, and labor efficiency gains


* Participate in new product introduction (NPI) activities, ensuring manufacturability and accurate initial BOM/MBOM/routing setup


* Provide data and documentation to support Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement initiatives

Cross-Functional Collaboration



* Partner with R&D and Design Engineering to resolve structural discrepancies between CAD structures and ERP/SAP configurations


* Collaborate with Production Planners and Shop Floor Managers to troubleshoot live BOM/routing errors blocking order releases


* Support Finance and Cost Accounting teams during cost roll-ups and standar...
