Production Improvement Specialist (Thu Duc District)

Position Overview: Drive end-to-end project execution (NPD/Transfers) and continuous production optimization for TTI Milwaukee (Power tools), ensuring seamless scale-up from sample build to MP while maximizing efficiency, cost savings, and quality.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Leadership

• Lead NPD/Transfer Projects: Plan, execute, and hand over new product launches or factory transfers, meeting timeline/cost targets.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (PSE, AME, AQE, OPM, IE) to resolve design-for-manufacturing issues.

Process & Cost Optimization

• Analyze production processes (time studies, line balancing) to identify waste and implement Kaizen/LEAN solutions (5S, PDCA, etc…)
• Reduce costs during sample build phases (ESB/EB/QB) and ensure smooth MP ramp-up (e.g., material substitutions, equipment upgrades).

Process Analysis and Improvement:

• Conduct direct observation and analysis of daily production processes to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement.
• Implement process optimizations, equipment upgrades, and Kaizen initiatives to enhance production efficiency.
• Collaborate with Process ENG, Equipment ENG, QA, PSE, IE, and other support functions to execute improvement projects.

Quality Improvement:

• Enforce quality standards (pFMEA, SOP) and EHS compliance in all projects.
• Solve critical production issues using 5 Why/ 8D, ensuring RC correction.

Project Execution and Collaboration:

• Work closely with cross-functional teams (NPD Engineering, AME, AQE, OPM, PM, IE) to ensure the successful implementation of improvement projects.
• Ensure that all improvement initiatives comply with quality systems (pFMEA, WI, Check Cards, Layouts).

Technical Execution

• Review technical drawings, BOMs, and layouts to optimize manufacturability.
• Partner with Equipment ENG to implement automation/ergonomic improvements.

Safety and Compliance:

• Ensure that all improvement initiatives adhere to safety standards (EHS) and company regulations (ISO, 5S).

Documentation and Reporting:

• Document all improvement initiatives, including process changes, cost savings, and quality improvements.
