• Work cross-departmentally with Operations, Maintenance, Processing, and Finance to ensure improvement initiatives are practical, adopted, and sustained in the field.
• Track key operational KPIs (utilization, availability, cycle time, queue time, hang time, productivity per unit) and report performance against targets to site leadership.
• Translate efficiency gains into quantified business value — cost savings, throughput gains, or productivity improvement — and ensure that value is realized and sustained, not just identified.
• Conduct root-cause analysis on recurring operational losses and lead corrective action with the relevant department heads.
• Build standard reporting, dashboards, and visual management tools that give operational and site leadership real-time visibility into efficiency performance.
