Compliance & Validation:

o Ensure new lines comply with AHRI,
ASHRAE, ISO, and safety standards (OSHA/EPA).

o Oversee IQ/OQ protocols for equipment
and process validation.

Daily Operations Leadership:

o Manage dry coil production safety and
4M1E to drive production sustainable excellence.

o Manage day-to-day production
activities for dry coil manufacturing, ensuring targets for output, OEE and
scrap rates are met.

o Optimize workflows using Lean/Six
Sigma methodologies (e.g., Kaizen, 5S) to reduce cycle times and waste.

Quality & Performance:

o Partner with QA teams to enforce
strict quality standards, including leak testing, dimensional checks, and
thermal performance validation.

o Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for
defects and implement corrective actions (e.g., 8D).

Team Development:

o Train and mentor production people on
new equipment, processes and safety regulations.

o Foster a culture of continuous
improvement and accountability.

Resource & Cost Management:

o Monitor production KPIs (safety,
quality, OEE, downtime, labor productivity) and drive initiatives to reduce
costs (material, energy, labor).

o Manage inventory levels for critical
materials (copper tubes, aluminum fins) to avoid production delays.

Qualifications:
