​​​​​​​Ensures production volume and size achievement based on Curing mid-term demand, by sequencing appropriately the production areas via the use of SAP PP/CGMS and related modules

• Raise awareness and provide information about ESH responsibilities and duties

• Demonstrate exemplary personal behavior in ESH and motivate others

• Sequencing of production in tire manufacture for curing, green tire assembly, component, required sub-components and compound for plant production areas to achieve optimal production output and size achievement as per the agreed plan with plant operations

• Controlling the phase-in and phase-out processes in all areas of tire production

• Regular monitoring with-in the shift of order achievement for all responsible production processes to SAP PP

• Initiate and communicate the required corrective actions and changes to the order sequence to Production processes to minimize/avoid production losses. Regular reporting of current status

• Transparently communicates the gaps and hindering factors in the production sequence (e.g., process, quality, machine reliability limitation)

• Breakdown the daily curing plan into a feasible sequence for mixing. Taking into account plant constraints, quality requirements and KPIs

• Optimizes the lot size and stock structure to ensure cold & hot preparation do not lack of compounds

• Ensures the preparation sequencing planner are trained on Mixing sequencing processes as they will act as back-up during the shift (after 5PM and over the weekend)

• Works with the Release Team to speed-up the release of compound and decision-making (e.g. Block & Quality status)

• Coordinates with PI & CM Coordinator to define enough recipes. Processes to be defined to be autonomous during the shift (e.g., virgin recipe, X% CM)

• Supports the Master Planner during the pre-planning process to ensure Mixing constraints have been considered

• Tracks the weekly compound complexity (no. of Master Batch, no. of Final Mix)

• Prepares the information (throughput, CUD plan vs. actual) to generate the monthly POR charts (e.g)

• Fills-in the monthly Order Achievement reports provided by IE in preparation of the monthly incentives

• Strives for optimizing the reporting structure (e.g., priority on using the available systems: SAP PP, SAP APO, CGMS). Works closely with Mustang LKU, IT and MSM to define the needs for digitalization

• Works with ETO/ISD team to ensure the right amount of compounds and master roll are planned considering the subsequent processes variation (e.g., buffer compound for sensitive ETO/ISD) do not delay the production sequence

• Coordinates with Plant Operation to considers the fluctuation of raw material and compound demand in the production sequence. A special attention is required for the phase-in / phase-out of compound during shutdown period

• Ensures that ETO orders are scheduled according to R&D demands

• Ensures SOP tires are scheduled according to demand - Determines phase out date of a tire

• Controls and coordinates phase out process

• Analyze daily the fulfillment of size achievement KPI and take corrective actions were needed

• Bachelor degree in Production Engineer, Industrial Engineer, Logisitics or related field

• Experience in Tire Manufacturing industry knowledge is an advantage

• Theoretical knowledge of manufacturing, industrial engineering, process engineering or similar

• Experience in production processes and or sequencing function, production or logistics related functions

• Expert in Analytical and planning skills

• Experience in problem solving skills and tools

• Networking and interactions skills with fellow sequencers in other plants

• Communicating effectively and working under time pressure

• Good command in English

The candidate should be opened to multi-skilling and potential moves within the Sequencing department
