* Capacity & Work Center Planning: Assist in analyzing assembly line capacity (SMT lines, DIP assembly, testing stations) to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize throughput.
2. Execution Monitoring & Timeline Control
* Shop-Floor Tracking: Daily monitoring of shop-floor output against planned targets to guarantee on-time in-full (OTIF) delivery.
* Bottleneck & Variance Analysis: Identify production delays early (component shortages, downtime, yield drops) and report variances to senior management for quick resolution.
* Work Order Management: Generate, release, and monitor work orders across assembly lines, functional testing, and final quality sign-offs.
3. Cross-Functional Coordination
* Sales & Logistics: Keep the sales team updated on dispatch schedules and delivery timelines.
* Quality & Engineering: Work with Quality Control and NPI teams to smoothly transition new power electronics designs into routine production.
* Store & Inventory: Coordinate with store teams for accurate real-time inventory updates within the ERP to prevent stock-outs or overstocking.
4. KPI Tracking & Reporting
* Track and log key manufacturing metrics including Plan vs. Actual Output, Schedule Adherence, and Work-in-Progress (WIP) status.
