  • Process Definition: Define develop and document the entire manufacturing process from raw material intake to final product packaging.
  • Tooling and Equipment: Lead the specification procurement installation and qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) of all necessary manufacturing equipment jigs fixtures and tooling.
  • Pilot and Pre-production Runs: Plan and manage pilot production runs to test the manufacturing process identify issues and validate equipment and procedures before full-scale launch.
  • Production Ramp-Up: Oversee the gradual increase in production volume (ramp-up) monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) like yield cycle time and quality.
  • Documentation: Ensure all manufacturing documentation such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) work instructions and process control plans are created validated and released.
• Cross-Functional Team Coordination
  • Central Point of Contact: Act as the primary liaison between all involved departments including R&D Engineering Quality Assurance Supply Chain Procurement Production and Marketing.
  • Facilitate Collaboration: Lead cross-functional team meetings to drive decisions resolve conflicts and ensure alignment on project goals.
