What You'll Do

• Material Savings (VA/VE): Actively identifying and implementing savings in material dimensions and structures (eg, changes in thickness, format, and composition).
• Waste Reduction: Conducting detailed analysis to minimize technological scrap and material overconsumption.
• Continuous Improvement (Kaizen & 5S): Organizing and leading practical workshops based on pre-designed professional standards.
• Flow Optimization (VSM): Mapping processes, eliminating bottlenecks, and reducing production lead times.

What You Bring

• Education: University degree or Secondary school education; a technical background is an advantage.
• LEAN Experience: Strong focus on the practical implementation of LEAN principles. (Note: The original phrasing was a bit awkward for a job requirement, so this adapts it to highlight the candidate's ability to actually execute Lean concepts).
• System Knowledge: Solid understanding of production and ERP systems.
• Language Skills: Proficiency in English for daily business communication.
• Soft Skills: Analytical thinking, strong sense of responsibility, ability to work independently, and a proactive mindset.
