.**_PRIMARY FUNCTION:_**- Develop and implement grinding manufacturing processes for new products and continuous improvement.- Support production activities.- Analyze problems and supervise corrections related to machine capability and production rates (OEE). Maintain and improve current manufacturing processes to produce parts according to specification.- Actively participate in the continuous improvement processes of the plant and implement cost-savings in manufacturing to reduce waste including corrective actions that lead to an immediate impact to business results. Reduce high-risk priority numbers in manufacturing PFMEA´s.- Train and educate operators to optimize use of new and transferred equipment. Initiate and maintain process sheets for each step of the manufacturing process.- Support PROLaunch by participating in aspects related to manufacturing of new released components or assemblies; review and evaluate newproducts, processes, equipment and facility proposal; execute installation, runoff, and startup of transferred and new equipment. Complete runoffs and PPAP´s on time according to established schedules.**_ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: _**- Analyze problems and supervise corrections related to machine capability and production rates (OEE).
