Specialist, Process Engineer FE (Lamphun)

Main purpose of the role:

In this role, to support process quality control as well as define root of problem with solutions solving to maintain or improve production process and product quality. Seek a room of any improvement in process for cost optimization by maintaining high-quality manufacturing. Take care the process control after innovation technology implemented.

Key accountabilities:

• Analyze existing production processes and identify opportunities for optimization, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement with a long-term solution and safe manufacturing systems.
• Develop and design efficient and effective manufacturing processes that meet the required product specifications and quality standards.
• Collaborate and implement Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodologies to systematically assess and prioritize risks in the production line with cross-functional teams.
• Conduct thorough analyses of jewelry production processes, identifying potential failure modes and weaknesses.
• Implement and enforce quality control measures to maintain and improve to the highest standards of craftsmanship and product quality are consistently achieved.
• Identify and resolve any issues or challenges related to the manufacturing process (including RCI/RMA).
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to prevent the recurrence of problems.
• Stay abreast of new technologies and methodologies that can enhance process efficiency.
• Integrate innovative technologies into existing processes where applicable.
• Maintain quality control measures to ensure the highest standards of new technologies and innovations in the production process, such as automation, and other advancements, to maintain efficiency and precision.
• Collaborate with materials specialists to evaluate, select, and test materials used in the jewelry production process to ensure compliance with quality standards.
• Conduct the special tasks as assigned, such as working with vendors and internal resources to determine cost-effective solutions without compromising the quality and safety of new supply materials, second-source materials, and equipment, before implementing them in the production line.
• Work closely with the I&PD, production, pre-production maintenance, quality surveillance & improvement and manufacturing quality control teams to ensure seamless collaboration, communication and integration throughout the jewelry manufacturing process.
• Proactively identify areas for improvement and develop strategies for continuous process enhancement, cost reduction, increasing productivity, lead time reduction, FROT , and waste minimization.
• Stay informed about industry trends, best practices, and advancements in process engineering.
• Maintain and improve quality control guidance for production staff on new processes, equipment, and technologies to ensure a skilled and adaptable workforce.
• Engage in ongoing professional development to enhance skills and knowledge.
• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of processes, procedures, changes and improvements for reference and compliance purposes.
• Evaluate and propose initiatives to optimize operational processes, aiming at reducing operational costs while maintaining or improving product quality.
• Develop and implement strategies to minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing processes.
• Ensure that processes adhere to safety regulations and environmental standards.
