To monitor, analyse and steer daily (shift-bound) plant production volumes, sequence adherence and on-time delivery of bodies/painted-bodies/orders from the various technologies (Body-shop, Paint-shop, Assembly) in normal operations as well as emergency situations, to ensure that the planned assembly start sequence, the defined F2 Stability Loading Windows and the Cumulative Out Of Sequence (COS), as well as the various planned in manufacturing constraints are kept and optimised for the given situation and to communicate and escalate various information should the agreed upon boundaries not be plausible for the given prognosis and situation.
ResponsibilitiesEnsure optimum loading sequence of units at assembly start, while maintaining various technology and system constraints.Monitor the production status of each technology and escalate when required to the Production Control Section Leader or Manager if necessary (Volume, F2 Stability and Loading Windows, Assembly Start Sequence, Loadable Reach, …).Independently steer emergency events with help of applicable support teams and systems to prevent Painted-Body/Assembly stoppages, while ensuring all loading constraints are met.Manage and steer Body-In-White Storage Area.Manage and steer Painted-Body Storage Area.Ensure agreed-upon Cumulative Out of Sequence (COS) level is maintained and that it can be maintained for the remainder of the shift, using prognosis tools to determine number of loadable orders.Ensure IPS-Systems data are correct and up-to-date in terms of storage-data integrity after data loss or synchronisation problems (Destination Ports, Bad reads, Data loss, Engine and Gearbox changes, etc.).Initiate corrective actions for IPS Errors and Warning messages, escalating to IT or maintenance teams if necessary.Monitor existing data networks and system availability to ensure problem-free connectivity of IPS and all other dependent equipment and initiate emergency responses if interrupted.Execute block requests due to production related quality, personnel, parts-availability problems.Control systems fill and variant allocation in buffers and storage areas, as well as feed lines to ensure on-time delivery of associated orders.Monitor, steer, control all Special Build Units (NSG: Nicht Seriengleiche Fahrzeuge) as well as changes and amendments to series production units at the request of affected production area.Manage and steer extraction of SKD (Semi-knocked down units), controlling orders in relevant PCS systems and managing available buffer spaces to ensure that normal production is not affected.Shift hand-over with documentation and reports of all production related deviations and problems.Run, edit queries using MS Office (Access, Excel) and BAA reports.Notify, escalate corresponding parties to any observed errors, inconsistencies and warnings related to production steering systems and software.Monitor peripheral equipment and escalate warning, errors, faults to corresponding custodian. Raise necessary alarm and initiate corresponding emergency procedures.Execution of system equipment changes, release changes, equipment changes, black-out tests, disaster recovery tests, system availability tests.Keep Management communication flow running to all relevant TX-R-1 areas.EducationTertiary Engineering and/or statistical and/or computer science qualification.Specialised computer and web page training.SQL and database experience an advantage.Additional RequirementsMust be able to establish a good communication network within the different cores.Must be able to advise/inform/escalate across cross-functional production teams.Give critical performance/plant information and prognosis to top management.Position has no direct reports and relies on ability to work in cross-functional teams.Motor industry experience and preferably production control environment.Working knowledge of plant production-systems and software including IPS (PPE/OSM).
