→Assess supplier quality and technology gaps, and execute plans to address them.
→Review and influence Design Engineering early in design phase to achieve target costs and DFx. Identify areas for cost down during design phase plus manufacturing methods and eliminate waste.
→Evaluate supplier processes and risks; collaborate to improve capabilities through lean supplier development methods (i.e. six sigma) and implement mitigation plans.
→Apply engineering and material science expertise with suppliers to boost capacity, product quality, yield and reduce cost.
→Partner with Category leaders to drive long-term category strategies to support aggressive production scaling.
→Align development efforts with long-term category strategies and develop partners within the suppliers.
→Conduct on-site supplier assessments (capabilities, MSA, PCS/SPCE, etc) and identify gaps during selection.
→Implement improvement plans with suppliers to ensure readiness and support NPI.
→Coordinate globally with Business/Key Product Unit Engineering teams to meet end-use specifications.
→Advance manufacturing capabilities, DFMEA / FMEA, and implement Process Control Systems, PFMEA, at key sites.
→Support statistical PCS / SPC (lean six sigma) data analysis for internal and external stakeholders.
→Perform root cause failure analysis and report findings to relevant teams.
→Lead supplier engagements, identify potential new potential suppliers to on-board and vet through a thorough capability assessment/
→Independently manage supplier improvement projects, including onboarding training and qualification.
→Oversee multiple projects to resolve issues and enhance product performance, reliability, and efficiency.
