Identify bottlenecks in shop processes such as teardown, piece-part

and no-fault-found (NFF) events.

Develop and maintain process maps, routing structures, and standard

work instructions.

Collaborate with engineering, quality, and technicians.

Support implementation and optimization of MRO systems (e.g., ERP,

MES, TRAX, AMOS, SAP)

Ensure all improvements comply with FAA/EASA regulations and OEM

manuals (CMMs)

Track KPIs such as TAT, first-pass yield (FPY), test yield, and

labor efficiency.
