Champion CI initiatives (5S, Kaizen, layout optimisation, flow).
Collect data and track trends.
Run small CI projects to improve FTQR, reduce build times and remove waste.

Financial Accountability

Support cost‑reduction through process efficiency and waste elimination.
Track performance via KPIs; inform make/buy, investment proposals, and CoNQ reduction.
