  • Continue to transform the structure of lean daily management to world class levels
    • Reinforce a culture that goes to Gemba to drive actions
    • Drive accountability for short-term and long-term actions with unrelenting sustainability
    • Lead the implementation and sustainability of overall lean transformation
    • Lead dedicated lean leaders as well as sponsor kaizen activities

What you'll bring:

  • 5+ years of demonstrated Lean experience
  • Confirmation that you are driven by leading an organization with three levels of technical leaders
  • A documented track record of sustainable productivity and volume growth
  • A mix of formal training and experience with operations management, policy deployment (Hoshin Kanri), business acumen, and leadership

Within 3 months, you'll:

  • Complete Atkore immersion including leading a large Kaizen event
  • Gain a solid understanding of current transformational activities especially related to workforce development and maintenance excellence
  • Be embedded into the business deep enough to complete the monthly SIOP preparation and review session

Within 6 months, you'll:

  • Understand and drive changes to strategy to correct any unfavorable trends especially net productivity and gross throughput
  • Recommend staffing changes/moves to improve business performance
  • Lead all tactical and strategic initiatives on the campus including but not limited to weekly SQDC reviews, monthly forecasting, deep dives, strategy deployment initiatives, etc.
