BASIC FUNCTION

Responsible for the strategy, implementation, standardization and maintenance of “best practice” Zinc manufacturing processes in the Global Faucet network of plants. This includes correspondinding manufacturing engineering business processes.

Ensures that there is consistency in the way the zinc process is engineered, documented and sustained in the network.

Works closely with Advance Materials & Process Development (AMPD) and New Product & Process Integration (NPPI) to ensure new zinc processes and products can be industrialized globally to achieve safety, quality and time to market objectives as well as target costs.

Partners with the plants Operations Engineering Managers and Teams to achieve standardization of Zinc processing best practices and receive new ideas for globalization.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES

As the global Zinc casting process expert, provide the technical leadership and coordination in the following:

·Build the global strategy for zinc manufacturing that provides the best balance of quality, delivery and cost.

·Own and implement the strategy achieving standardized Zinc casting processes and ensure availability of process information through the Business Enterprise System.

·Engage at D0-D5 New Product Development gates with the regional NPD Groups to achieve Margin, Time To Market (TTM) & Performance Targets at Launch and Maintain Margin and Performance Throughout the Life Cycle.

·Participate in Design Engineering reviews providing “Design for Manufacture and Assembly” input as it replates to zinc componentry and assemblies.

·Recommend Component and Product Rationalization based upon process limitations

·Ensure equipment and process readiness prior to kick off of a project.

·Ensure Zinc processes are Capable, Ready and Proven Prior to New Product Launches.

·Provide capacity planning, capital equipment recommendations and implementation partnership with the plant Operations Engineering teams.

·Remain up-to-date on zinc manufacturing best practices and recommend new approaches and tools.

·In Partnership with the Advance Materials and Process Development group, deploy leading technological advancements to achieve cost and quality leadership for both internal and supplier processes as they relate to zinc processing.
