Operational Excellence amp; Continuous Improvement
• Champion Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies across all manufacturing sites; establish enterprise-wide CI programs and governance.
• Drive standard work, value stream design, OEE improvement, changeover reduction, and waste elimination as a daily operating habit, not a one-time project.

Safety, Quality amp; Compliance

Cross-Functional Collaboration amp; Stakeholder Management
• Serve as the primary manufacturing executive interface with Sales, Engineering, Project Engineering, Project Management, Customer Experience, Sourcing, and Logistics to ensure customer commitments are met.
• Represent manufacturing operations to the Board of Directors, the private equity sponsor, investors, and key customers as required.
