  • When production performance is off plan :

    • Coordinate with Engineering, Procurement, Materials, and Production teams

  • Perform structured root cause analysis related to materials, labor, quality, engineering readiness, or process constraints
  • Develop data-supported recommendations and corrective action options
  • Present findings and suggested plans forward to the Production Control Manager

    • Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Act as a liaison between Operations, Engineering, Procurement, and Materials Management
  • Ensure material availability, inventory status, and production readiness align to the master schedule
  • Support alignment and accountability across teams through shared data and performance transparency

    • Data Analysis and Continuous Improvemen t

  • Build and maintain production performance dashboards and reporting tools
  • Perform advanced Excel analysis using pivot tables, formulas, lookups, and structured datasets
  • Identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities using Lean and Six Sigma principles
