The primary goal of this position is to ensure that customer orders are shipped on time. This involves a proactive approach to prevent discrepancies, identify bottlenecks and shop constraints before they lead to late deliveries, and understand the Lean Business Model to optimize product flow through all steps in the value stream. The Project Manager will be responsible for managing the value stream from order receipt through to shipping, ensuring that all processes are streamlined and efficient. In this role, the Project Manager will function as part of the Floor Leadership Team, enforcing standard work for the project management process.

The role also involves creating and modifying production routings and manufacturing work instructions, ensuring that all operations required to move components through the manufacturing process are clearly defined. The Project Manager will assume complete process ownership of assigned manufacturing or assembly areas, providing the necessary floor support and interfacing with other functional groups to resolve processing issues. Additionally, the role includes researching, specifying, or designing tooling and fixtures to aid in manufacturing and inspection, as well as performing industrial engineering tasks such as time studies and work cell development to improve product workflow and decrease lead time. The Project Manager will also support various special projects as needed.
