-   Develop and implement assembly process optimization initiatives to improve line efficiency, throughput, and cycle time.
-   Design, maintain, and standardize assembly process flows, routing, and work instructions to ensure consistency across lines.
-   Conduct time studies and establish standard operation times for assembly workstations.
-   Optimize manpower allocation, line balancing, tooling, and equipment utilization within assembly operations.
-   Introduce and bring new method of technology to fit assembly operation.
-   Support root cause analysis (RCA, 8D) for assembly-related defects and implement corrective actions.
-   Implement SPC and process control methodologies at critical assembly process steps.
-   Develop systems to track, analyze, and reduce repetitive assembly non-conformance issues.
-   Apply PFMEA, MSA, and 4M methodologies to mitigate assembly process risks.
-   Develop and deploy digital tools using Microsoft 365 (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI) to improve assembly process visibility and execution.
-   Create dashboards to monitor assembly KPIs such as FPY, line efficiency, UPH, and capacity.
-   Develop assembly capacity models and simple forecasting tools to support production planning.
-   Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, and T&D teams on assembly process improvement initiatives.
-   Support NPI transfer to mass production, focusing on assembly readiness, standardization, and operator training.
-   Create and maintain assembly-related technical documentation, SOPs, visual aids, and process guidelines.

## Requirements
