Monitor attendance, qualification status, work quality, and adherence to company policies; elevate formal employee-relations matters to management and HR. • Training and qualification: Maintain adequate shift coverage by tracking operator and technician qualifications, assigning trainers, and verifying completion of required training before independent work. • Continuous improvement: Support 5S, standard-work, waste-reduction, uptime, yield, and cycle-time improvements. Provide practical shift-level input while following approved change-control processes. • Cost awareness: Help control overtime, consumables, spare-parts usage, scrap, and rework; provide input to unit-level cost management. • Inventory Management: Ensure new parts are properly received, inspected, stored and cataloged.
