The Plant Floor Systems Build in Sequence Specialist is responsible for the leadership, coordination, design, documentation, build and implementation of a build in sequence strategy for Stellantis North America projects.
The Build in Sequence specialist will accomplish this through coordination of regular meetings with all stake holders, maintain a process layout of all centers of the plant, manage an action register / supporting file, define targets / milestones and provide a documented / (Approved) Build in Sequence Strategy for the project.
Additional, responsibilities will include the documentation of a step-by-step process on creating a build is sequence strategy and assist in the development of associated training required to manage and maintain the Build in Sequence strategy.
**The Build in Sequence Specialist will be responsible for**:
Lead in the development and validated build in sequence strategy
Governance of software and hardware floor revisions supporting a BS strategy
Support upper level (IT) interfaces to plant floor, required for BS strategy
Direct diagnostics and FIS initiatives to support the applicable BS strategy
Maintain the documented BS strategy via plant and area layouts
Specification documentation through associated lessons learned
Review and approve necessary changes to build in sequence strategies
Project Management
Support in establishing project timing
Supervise resources
Monitor projects to meet their technical and business objectives
Develop advanced training and standard processes
Lead and schedule weekly build in sequence meetings, discussing status and open issues of implementing build in sequence at the defined Plant
Manage and distribute issue action register
Perform the duties as a liaison between Plant, VPE, CARE and ICT in addressing questions communicating status and pursuing issue resolution.
