As an integral part of the Engineering Team this person would be responsible for delivering process excellence.
A production engineer designs processes, material and workspace layouts to ensure fast and efficient production. It is also their responsibility to make appropriate adjustments on the design based on feedback from colleagues or clients. The engineer also keeps company management informed and up-to-date on the status of the design process. Meet key internal and external customer requirements in a time frame agreed by the management team. Production engineers play a crucial role in an organization; liaising across various business professionals to deliver designs and methods equipped for manufacture and providing solutions to the problems concerning the design and manufacturing process.
It is the production engineer’s responsibility to estimate the cost of production and come up with cost-saving methods. If there are any changes in the design and/or method of the product manufacture, they are to determine the effect of this on production cost and present it to management for review and implementation and ensure appropriate systems are updated. The engineer is to develop and implement efficient manufacturing methods based on the firm’s budget allocation, always trying to strike the right balance between quality and cost.
Be able to self-manage and progress projects in accordance with the DMAIC and NPI Structure to deliver implemented products and improvements. The Production engineer is the custodial of the manufacturing method and must interact with development, sales, planning and quality; production staff to provide effective communication of changes and aim for problem free introduction.
