- Provide Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) support during product development.
- Lead PFMEA activities and implement mitigation plans for high-risk processes.
- Develop value stream maps and optimize process flow through Lean principles.
- Plan and execute sample builds to support process development and manufacturability assessments.
- Create process specifications, manufacturing documentation, and operator work instructions.
- Lead or support the implementation of manufacturing technologies, equipment, and automation solutions for new product introductions.
- Drive improvements in cost, quality, yield, and manufacturability through Lean Manufacturing methodologies.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturing readiness for successful product launches.
What Success Looks Like
- Manufacturing processes are fully prepared to support product launches with validated tooling, documentation, capacity planning, and qualification evidence.
- Product designs incorporate manufacturability considerations early in the development process.
- Manufacturing teams receive the technical support, training guidance, and documentation required for successful execution.
- Lessons learned are captured and leveraged to improve future NPI and process development programs.
