Ensure supplier capacity meets demand and milestones; optimize manufacturing with Lean tools like value stream mapping, 5S, Kaizen, and SMED. Lead projects to cut waste, improve cycle times, and enhance efficiency. Use data to track trends and monitor processes. Align Lean principles with production, quality, engineering, and supply chain. Train teams on Lean practices. Track KPIs, report progress, and apply root cause analysis. Foster a culture of continuous improvement for sustained Lean success.

Leading suppliers capacity situation and secure the volumes demanded, respecting the milestones ; Manage risky suppliers and secure production capacity during start-up and serial phase of the projects; Analyse complex concerns and generate potential solutions; Lead action plan in achieving the sold capacity by supplier; Develop and introduce the Lean methodology inside SRM Team Mind-set and capacity audit structure; Ensuring effective countermeasures to secure necessary Quality and Delivery requirements.
