Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills with an interest in identifying and eliminating process inefficiencies.
Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, root cause corrective action methodologies, or continuous improvement concepts through coursework, projects, or experience.
Understanding of process mapping, error-proofing (poka-yoke), waste reduction, and data-driven decision-making principles.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in team environments.
Takes initiative, has a high energy level, and acts with a sense of urgency.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present analytical findings and recommendations to diverse audiences.
