Leads and/or applies Industrial Engineering concepts, techniques, analysis and decision tools to promote and implement changes in manufacturing, engineering and service operations. Leads and/or independently develops models, data bases and spreadsheets to analyze data (e.g., statistics, operations research, engineering economics), and provides expert analysis and metrics for consultation to customers (e.g., management, departments, suppliers). Leads and/or applies extensive industrial engineering techniques and concepts to product and process design teams throughout all phases of product lifecycle, resulting in a robust product design and work statement that meets program requirements. Leads research, design, development, improvement, and implementation of processes to enhance schedule performance, lower cost, and improve quality, through the expert application of Lean and advanced Industrial Engineering concepts for large scale systems integration and asset utilization. Mentors Engineers and manages, defines, negotiates, and controls the scope, cost, and timing of projects, and direct the use of project management tools (e.g., work break-down structure, precedence network, resource allocation). Leads and ensures projects are completed within budget, and on schedule. Mentors and leads the use of engineering methods (e.g., mathematical models, simulation, statistics) to develop optimal process designs and efficient utilization of resources (e.g., facilities, personnel, materials, equipment) in the creation and validation of products. Mentors and leads the analysis and design of the value stream, including capability, capacity (e.g., make/buy, supplier selection, risk analysis, supplier performance), throughput, work flow and logistics (e.g., critical path, lead-time, transportation, factory layout). Competencies General + Adaptability Understands changes in own and others work and situations; may be asked to explain the logic or basis for change to less experienced employees; actively seeks information about changes affecting own and fellow employees jobs. Treats changes and new situations as opportunities for learning or growth; focuses on the beneficial aspects of change; speaks positively about the change to fellow interorganizational employees and occasionally to external customers. Quickly modifies behavior to deal effectively with changes in the work environment; readily tries new approaches appropriate for new or changed situations; does not persist with ineffective behaviors. + Build Positive Relationships Builds effective working relationships within the work group, with interorganizational employees, and occasionally with external customers. Probes for and provides information to clarify situations. Seeks and expands on original ideas, enhances others ideas, and contributes own ideas about the issues at hand. Places higher priority on team and organization goals than on own goals. Seeks agreement from work group, with other employees, and occasionally with external customers to support ideas or take partnership-oriented action; uses sound rationale to explain value of actions. Establishes good interpersonal relationships by helping people feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. + Change Management Encourages fellow work group members, internal employees, and occasionally external customers to question established work processes or assumptions, ask why until underlying cause is discovered, and support continuous improvement actions and alternatives. Advises others to remain open to ideas offered by others; supports and uses good ideas to solve difficult problems or address difficult issues. Recognizes fellow work group members, internal employees, and occasionally customers who make useful changes. Helps fellow work group members, internal employees, and occasionally external customers overcome resistance to change; shows empathy with people who feel loss as a result of change. Minimizes complexities, contradictions, and paradoxes or reduce their impact on fellow work group members, internal employees and occasionally external customers; clarifies direction and smoothes the process of change. + Initiating Action Takes immediate action when confronted with a problem or when made aware of a situation in own or other work area. Implements new ideas or potential solutions without prompting; does not wait for others to take action or to request action. Takes action that goes beyond job requirements in order to achieve objectives. + Systems Thinking Evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet team objective(s); identifies non-value-adding components and barriers. Formulates change strategies; seeks input from others to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Makes appropriate changes to job/role structures and processes by communicating effectively and focusing on new skill development. Uses accurate measurement systems to monitor the implementation. Technical + Capacity Management Basic - Complete knowledge of planning and scheduling techniques (e.g., capacity/capability planning, single piece flow, buffer management). Preferred - Extensive knowledge of planning and scheduling techniques (e.g., capacity/capability planning, single piece flow, buffer management). + Critical Path Methodology Basic - Complete knowledge of critical path network methodology (e.g., logic, relationship/interdependency, early/late, start/complete, minimum duration). Preferred - Extensive and specialized knowledge of critical path network methodology (e.g., logic, relationship/interdependency, early/late, start/complete, minimum duration). + Lean Manufacturing Basic - Complete knowledge of lean manufacturing principles (e.g., value stream analysis, single piece flow). Preferred - Extensive and specialized knowledge of lean manufacturing principles (e.g., value stream analysis, single piece flow). + Production Systems Basic - Complete knowledge of various production systems (e.g., flexible manufacturing systems, cellular manufacturing, U-lines). Preferred - Extensive knowledge of various production systems (e.g., flexible manufacturing systems, cellular manufacturing, U-lines). + Project Leadership Basic - Complete ability to accept, direct, and perform responsibilities and work assigned tasks as a project team member in support of the overall project. Complete ability to lead and direct the activities and resources of assigned projects and support higher graded employees in large scale and complex projects.
