Manufacturing Excellence Coordinator

Waco, TX

HOLT Manufacturing
Machinery Manufacturing • 11 - 50 employees

Full-time

Posted 11 days ago


Job description

Description
The Manufacturing Excellence Coordinator supports the day-to-day execution of HMFG's Manufacturing Excellence program and Production & Process Excellence (P2X) initiatives. The Head of Program Execution establishes strategic direction, priorities, and program governance; this role coordinates assigned improvement work, maintains follow-through, and helps move initiatives from problem identification through implementation, verification, standardization, and sustainment. 

This position serves as a key coordinator for P2X execution. P2X is intended to maximize manufacturing throughput and improve quality by engaging employees at all levels to remove barriers, streamline work process flows, and eliminate waste using Lean methodologies. The Manufacturing Excellence Coordinator is expected to work on the processes, not simply in the processes, while remaining close enough to daily execution to facilitate improvement activities, gather facts, coordinate actions, verify results, and help ensure improvements are sustained.  

Success in this role is measured by disciplined coordination and completion of assigned OFIs, quality and timeliness of improvement documentation and follow-through, adoption of standard work, reduction of recurring execution barriers, support of improved NPI execution discipline, and demonstrated contribution to measurable gains in safety, quality, delivery, cost, velocity, and customer experience. 

The incumbent in this position is expected to model the following practices daily: 
  1. Demonstrate alignment with the company's mission and core business values; 
  2. Collaborate with key internal/external resources; 
  3. Participate in ongoing self-development.
