• Lead design for excellence feasibility reviews and generate design for manufacturing (DFM) feasibility reports during concept readiness phase to resolve "red flag" features before design freeze.
• Validate mass production readiness through run-at-rate validation reports and line balancing charts to align takt time with cycle time.
• Execute vendor capability assessments and factory readiness gap analyses to ensure supply chain maturity. Enforce quality by reviewing process capability reports (Cpk \> 1\.33), control plans, and gage repeatability and reproducibility reports during the pilot phase.
• Advocate risk management by leading process failure mode and effects analysis (with risk priority number (RPN) reduction goals) and conducting pareto analysis and root cause analysis (8D) for any manufacturing issues.
• Optimize factory logistics by developing process flow diagrams and material presentation plans to audit and streamline how parts reach the production line.
