POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Responsible for the development and delivery of the Discrete Event Simulation model and documentation, modelling the process flow from concept thru to the delivery phase to JOB1 \+ 90 days. The model will be developed to include, but not limited to: \-

• Discrete Event Simulation


• Lead the DES model generation from concept modelling to fully detailed mimic of the programme / system that meet the design scope, operating principals, performance metrics, safety, quality, delivery, cost, people and environment objectives are met.


• Lead the system optimisation, cost avoidance, best practises capturing and sharing this with relevant stakeholders


• Able to work effectively with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi\-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints


• Guide the process using a product knowledge and awareness of potential design constraints to ensure due consideration is given in developing solutions


• Coordinate and lead projects and teams feedback of results as required through design / project reviews / DES Dashboards


• Lead optimisation of the DES model against different model derivative mixes and operational parameters.


• Lead the bottleneck analysis of the system and develop strategies to remove


• Lead volume throughput increase studies and system what if’s


• Guide the process to adhere to the vehicle derivative sequencing and build to sequence rules


• Support the continual development of tools and techniques which enhance capability, improve quality and robustness of DES models


• Mentor and train Junior team members and graduates


• Undertake any other work as directed by their line manager in connection with their job as may be requested

Essential:

• Working knowledge and experience of Discrete Event Simulation toolset


• Previous experience in using Lanner Witness or Siemens Technomatix Plant Simulation toolset


• Previous experience and background in production process flow simulation, problem solving on complex technical systems.


• Previous experience of bottleneck analysis using Discrete Event Simulation.


• Previous experience of delivering Discrete Event Simulation to programme KPIs and targets


• Experience in production sites


• Relevant degree or equivalent experience preferred


• A good communicator who can communicate complex ideas


• A effective team player, actively leads, develops and supports team members


• High levels of personal resilience, integrity and honesty as well as large amounts of humility for the team.


• An individual who enables speed in decision making through establishing alignment, clarity, appropriate resources and sense of urgency whilst bringing others along

• Experience in automotive production.


• Experience working practices of programme integration and new programmes in automotive engineering.
