Spike Bay Area Pasadena TX Operations

• •Analyze manufacturing and supporting business processes to identify opportunities affecting safety, quality, cost, delivery, productivity, capacity, and throughput.
• •Conduct time studies, work sampling, cycle-time analysis, workflow observations, and labor-content reviews to establish reliable performance baselines.
• •Develop current-state and future-state process maps, value-stream maps, spaghetti diagrams, and other practical representations of product and information flow.
• •Identify bottlenecks, constraints, non-value-added activity, process variation, excessive handling, queue time, rework, and other forms of waste using Lean principles.
• •Apply structured problem-solving and root-cause methods to define issues, test countermeasures, and help prevent recurrence.
• •Develop practical recommendations that balance productivity, quality, safety, cost, staffing, equipment, and customer requirements.
• •Seek technical review when the evidence, risk, method, or authority boundary is unclear.

• •Manage assigned improvement projects of defined scope from charter, baseline, and target definition through implementation, closeout, and sustainment.
• •Develop and maintain project plans, milestones, resource needs, risk controls, action logs, decision records, and measurable success criteria.
• •Communicate project status, risks, evidence, and decisions clearly to the project sponsor and affected stakeholders.
• •Coordinate with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, Maintenance, Information Technology, Finance, and Operations to implement approved improvements.
• •Pilot proposed changes, collect operator feedback, resolve or escalate implementation issues, and support training and change adoption before full rollout.
• •Measure post-implementation results, document lessons learned and establish controls that help sustain the improved process.
• •Escalate decisions involving safety, technical approval, Quality disposition, production priority, capital expenditure, supplier commitment, or another function's authority.

• •Establish the current state of carts used to move, stage, protect, identify, and retrieve materials, tools, components, work in process, and completed assemblies.
• •Document cart types, quantities, conditions, locations, uses, movement paths, storage practices, ownership gaps, and recurring operational constraints.
• •Gather

• •Collect, organize, validate, and analyze manufacturing data using Microsoft Excel and available ERP, production, and business systems.
• •Develop clear reports, dashboards, and performance measures that communicate operating conditions, trends, losses, and improvement opportunities.
• •Support labor studies, staffing models, capacity planning, line balancing, productivity analysis, cost analysis, and internal or external process benchmarking.
• •Analyze cycle time, setup time, queue time, work in process, downtime, scrap, rework, yield, schedule attainment, and other relevant measures.
• •Make assumptions, limitations, missing data, and confidence levels visible rather than overstating conclusions.

• •Improve manufacturing layouts, workstation design, ergonomics, point-of-use storage, material presentation, and movement paths to support safe and efficient flow.
• •Develop and maintain standard work, work instructions, visual controls, process documentation, and training materials for implemented improvements.
• •Support accurate
