Work closely with Production, Materials, Procurement, Quality, Maintenance, and Engineering to resolve production issues and support continuous improvement efforts

Utilize SAP and Excel to develop and maintain KPIs (e.g., schedule adherence, on-time to need date, past-due work orders, WIP turns, changeover hours) and to enhance reporting / visibility
