About the Job

Requirements

  • Strong hands-on knowledge and working experience of Lean Manufacturing principles and methodologies.
  • Experience with Industrial Engineering tools, including MOST/Time Study, man-hour analysis, capacity planning, and productivity analysis.
  • Knowledge of workstation design, ergonomics, operator movement, and manufacturing layout optimization.
  • Strong understanding of process flow, material flow, bottleneck analysis, and cycle-time improvement.
  • A Mechanical, Production, or Industrial Engineering B.E./B.Tech degree.
  • Four to seven years of experience in manufacturing, industrial engineering, Lean Manufacturing, or continuous improvement.
  • Strong hands-on experience in Lean Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering tools.
  • Practical experience in VSM, Kaizen, 5S, Standard Work, Takt Time, Line Balancing, MOST/Time Study, and Waste Elimination.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort working directly on the shopfloor and with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Drive Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement initiatives across GIS manufacturing and assembly operations to improve productivity, quality, capacity, cost, and lead time.
  • Identify and eliminate the eight wastes through structured Lean methodologies and shopfloor improvement activities.
  • Lead Kaizen initiatives and promote a continuous improvement culture across manufacturing operations.
  • Conduct Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to identify process losses, bottlenecks, non-value-added activities, and improvement opportunities.
  • Implement Lean principles, including Standard Work, Pull Systems, Kanban, JIT, and flow-based manufacturing.
  • Drive 5S, visual management, and Lean maturity across production areas.
  • Conduct Gemba walks and process audits to identify gaps, drive actions, and sustain improvements.
  • Conduct MOST/Time Study and establish standard times for manufacturing operations.
  • Perform man-hour, productivity, and manpower analysis to identify resource optimization opportunities.
  • Calculate Takt Time and perform Line Balancing to improve resource utilization and production flow.
  • Conduct capacity analysis and identify opportunities to increase capacity without proportional increases in manpower or infrastructure.
  • Analyze cycle time, bottlenecks, process constraints, and manufacturing losses to identify productivity improvement opportunities.
  • Optimize workstation design, operator movement, ergonomics, and manufacturing layouts.
  • Identify opportunities for process simplification, motion reduction, and cycle-time reduction.
  • Improve production and material flow to enhance workstation utilization and overall manufacturing efficiency.
  • Convert identified manufacturing losses and process constraints into improvement opportunities across productivity, capacity, quality, cost, lead time, and space utilization.
  • Identify opportunities for automation, mechanization, and technology deployment to improve productivity, ergonomics, quality, and process efficiency.
  • Support development and implementation of solutions such as robotics/cobots, material handling systems, sensors, and other Industry 4.0 technologies.
  • Use digital tools and data analytics to support fact-based manufacturing improvement and decision-making.
  • Develop and maintain manufacturing dashboards and digital solutions using Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Query, Microsoft Lists, and Forms.
  • Integrate sustainability into Lean and productivity improvement initiatives as a Sustainability Driver within manufacturing operations.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce energy and material consumption, process waste, movement, space utilization, and resource losses.
  • Drive initiatives that improve resource efficiency, energy efficiency, and sustainable manufacturing.
  • Quantify and track sustainability benefits wherever measurable.
  • Lead Lean, Industrial Engineering, productivity, process improvement, and automation projects from problem identification through implementation and benefit realization.
  • Develop project charters, action plans, timelines, and measurable KPIs.
  • Quantify business benefits related to productivity, manpower, capacity, cost, lead time, quality, space, and sustainability.
  • Support preparation of business cases for productivity, process improvement, and automation initiatives.
  • Monitor project performance and ensure sustained implementation and benefit realization.

Desired Qualifications

  • Exposure to Industry 4.0 concepts and Power BI/manufacturing dashboards for productivity and performance monitoring is preferred.
  • An interest in automation, digital manufacturing, and technology-enabled process improvement.
  • Experience or interest in using Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Query, Lists, and Forms for manufacturing data and digitalization.
  • Experience in GIS, switchgear, electrical equipment, heavy engineering, or discrete/assembly manufacturing is preferred.
