Manufacturing Engineer
8 month contract – Outside IR35
Immediate start
Sunbury on Thames
Main Duties/Responsibilities
- Work with manufacturing cell leaders, lean co-ordinator and design engineering to improve process efficiencies
- Implement 'Standard work', generating & maintaining manufacturing documentation (SOP's, Routings, “Visual Factory” displays)
- Creation & Maintenance of Routings in the MRP system
- Implement lean manufacturing methods (e.g. 1-piece flow lines, visual factory) to reduce throughput times, rework/scrap and work in progress
- Implement basic improvement tools, from 5S, 7 Wastes, Visual Management and Standardised Work balanced assembly lines where single (best) piece flow philosophies are employed
- Implement any required layout changes, ensuring both the facilities and maintenance teams are fully involved
