Responsibilities

Serve as the Liaison between Production: Each customer project is a prototype. Occasionally, issues arise where the design may not be able to be built or function as intended. The production team will bring these issues to the ME who will work with Engineering to create a viable solution as well as prevent similar issues on future designs

Develop and Maintain Production Flow: The Manufacturing Engineer will work with Scheduling, Inventory and Production to produce the weekly and daily production schedule, keeping the project on schedule to be completed within the customers’ requirements. The ME will need to have a firm understanding of production times and staffing capabilities. The ME will also need to manage the physical space of each project on the production floor, allowing multiple projects to be fabricated at the same time while minimizing conflicts

Document Processes: The fabrication processes used by the Production Technicians need to be documented, which will allow for training new employees as well as periodic review of each process for safer, higher quality and more cost-effective methods

Organize and Implement Process Improvements: Review the project build sequence, seeking opportunities to remove waste. Process Improvements can vary from modification to the current process as well as tooling that enables the production team to become more efficient

Manage the Capital Expenditure Request (CER) Process: In conjunction with process improvements, equipment that will allow increased efficiency will be requested from multiple departments. The ME will manage the CER process which includes sourcing ideas and prioritizing ideas based on a Return on Investment (ROI) approach.
