North Home Counties - High Value Automotive Components

Part of a major multinational group, with several Queens Awards & voted No.2
in Management Today's 2006 "Most Admired Company" report, our Client is an
R&D and Quality driven manufacturing organisation specialising in leading-edge automotive engine emission reduction technology.

A period of strong commercial growth, the significance of extremely high-value WIP/Inventory, the potential for future competition from "low-cost" production regions & a desire to adopt the benefits achieved in industry-leading, Lean manufacturing sectors are strong influences on this role, which has been created by internal promotion.

With a wide-ranging brief that encompasses all processes within the production business, including production planning to maximise operational utilisation, identifying opportunities to reduce costs, waste in all forms, inventory & non value added activity, the job holder will take full functional production responsibility, for the development of a flexible workforce with an enthusiasm for reacting to changing business needs, for maintaining control of production cost, quality and on-time/on-spec customer delivery, and for developing people and processes that can deliver truly World Class performance.

The successful candidate will therefore combine a proven track record in both operational & change management, gained in an organisation or sector noted for Best Practice in both areas, together with the following credentials:

A high-level technical or business management qualification
· Experience relevant to highly technical batch process production.
· The ability to inspire & engage at all levels... shopfloor to boardroom.
· Commercial outlook & relevant operational management skills.
· A successful track record leading process and cultural change projects
· The motivation to make a real difference to the business.
· Lean / Continuous Improvement / Kaizen credentials.

In return, this is an opportunity to make a genuine & highly visible difference in a successful organisation... with associated career prospects.
