The GPEA will coach and influence a dotted-line organization of factory technical leads across the supply chain. A core aspect is applying analytical skills, lean methodology, and the principle of creating process standards for equipment ("One Product One Process") to drive SQDC in line with business and functional objectives. The selected candidate gains extensive exposure to manufacturing, engineering, quality, and safe process development, and contributes to building a culture of inclusion and continuous improvement.
