This role will analyse current operations (time, utilisation, efficiency, waste), create accurate value stream maps, and support line and facility design so that the future production system is efficient at launch and capable of scaling to volume. Key Responsibilities Understand and quantify the existing process Study the current aerospace component manufacturing processes and machines in detail to understand how work actually flows on the shop floor. Conduct time studies on all major steps and support activities (set-up, changeover, inspection, rework, material handling, etc.), maintaining an accurate and current picture of process timings. Measure machine utilisation, OEE, downtime causes and bottlenecks. Discreet event simulation. (Supporting lean line/line balancing). Create and maintain value stream maps for cu... Contract
