Establish standard process flows, takt assumptions, line concepts, and DFM/DFA guidelines in alignment with global AME direction. Drive alignment on process KPIs, performance benchmarks, and operating assumptions across Infrastructure Solutions (IS) sites. Industrial Engineering & Standardization Scope Own the industrial engineering (IE) framework for Infrastructure Solutions (IS) manufacturing, ensuring consistent application across sites. Standardize product routings, work content, labor standards, and line balancing methodologies to enable comparable capacity and cost models globally. Define standard approaches for workstation design, material flow, ergonomics, and space utilization . Partner with Engineering to influence design standardization and modularity that enables repeatable processes and equipment reuse. Establish standard methods for process validation, time studies, and rate setting to support executable capacity and productivity targets. Ensure equipment selection and layout decisions are aligned to standardized processes and IE principles, not site-specific one-offs. Capacity & Industrialization Develop and maintain executable capacity models (vs. theoretical), accounting for ETO variability, product mix, changeovers, and learning curves. Support site loading, make/buy, and footprint decisions using data-driven capacity and capability analysis. Partner with Operations and Supply Chain to identify and mitigate capacity, labor, and equipment risks across Infrastructure Solutions (IS) operations. NPDI & Technology Enablement Partner with Engineering and Product Management to embed manufacturing strategy into NPDI programs early in the lifecycle for Infrastructure Solutions (IS) . Influence DFM/DFA, modularization, and platform strategies to enable scalable and repeatable manufacturing. Evaluate and deploy emerging manufacturing technologies aligned to Infrastructure Solutions (IS) cost, quality, and delivery objectives. Deployment, Governance & Global Alignment Execute deployment of new equipment, processes, and manufacturing strategies across Infrastructure Solutions (IS) sites in coordination with global and regional AME teams. Lead site workshops, readiness reviews, and ramp support activities. Ensure disciplined change management, documentation, and long-term sustainability of deployed solutions. Cross-Functional Leadership Act as a strategic manufacturing partner to Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Finance supporting Infrastructure Solutions (IS) . Provide clear, data-driven input to the Global AME Senior Manager on manufacturing risks, constraints, and investment tradeoffs. Serve as an escalation point for complex equipment, process, or capacity challenges within assigned scope.
