Proficiency with advanced data and visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, advanced Excel, plant MES data) to identify loss patterns and track CI impact.

Formal training/certification in Lean, Six Sigma, or OpEx and demonstrated application in a high-volume manufacturing setting.

Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence without direct authority in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
