Partner with site and regional teams to identify productivity opportunities through bottleneck analysis, layout redesign, and process improvement
Embed Industrial Engineering standards into capital planning and site design to ensure scalable, efficient operations
Collaborate with Supply Chain Planning and Network Strategy teams as required to support global network analysis, scenario modelling, and footprint decisions, applying IE tools to evaluate flow, capacity, and asset performance across both manufacturing and distribution nodes
Apply Industrial Engineering best practices (value stream mapping, line balancing, constraint analysis) to increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and asset utilization
Conduct time studies, process mapping, and capacity modeling to identify constraints in equipment, labor, and facility flow
Drive initiatives to reduce downtime, increase throughput, and improve first-pass yield
Partner with operations to establish KPIs and dashboards for capacity, OEE, and productivity
Identify automation and robotics opportunities and define engineering requirements for business cases and vendor selection
Partner with Automation and Manufacturing Engineering teams to ensure automation systems integrate seamlessly into existing production and warehouse processes
Support evaluation of AGVs, AMRs, conveyors, AS/RS, and robotic solutions to optimize flow and reduce manual handling
Expand use of simulation, digital twins, and statistical analysis to evaluate process improvements and capacity expansion options
Use standard metrics — cycle time, takt time, throughput rate, equipment uptime, and resource utilization — to drive performance visibility
Deliver concise, data-driven reports to support investment decisions and continuous improvement programs
Apply the same modelling and optimisation tools to distribution environments where applicable, enabling consistency across the broader supply chain
Lead large-scale transformation programs that redesign manufacturing and warehouse layouts to enable volume growth and automation readiness
