Job Responsibilities：
1.Position Overview
Based on Focuslight’s global layout in the photonics industry and the current multi-site collaborative operation, lead the formulation and implementation of the global lean operation strategy. In the short term, focus on improving production efficiency, delivery capability and cost control to ensure global order fulfillment and supply chain resilience. In the long term, lead the planning and construction of a global digital & intelligent operation center, integrate lean philosophy with SAP, MES, AI and big data tools, and build a unified global lean system adaptable to global operations. Drive standardized processes, visualized operation and intelligent decision-making across global bases, and build a high-collaboration, high-efficiency and low-cost global lean operation model.
2.Key Responsibilities
Global Lean System Planning & Establishment: Develop a medium- and long-term global lean operation plan and annual implementation plan in line with the company’s global strategy and global operation centers plan. Lead the establishment of a unified global lean system covering the entire industrial chain, adaptable to global operations, and clarify objectives, implementation paths and resource requirements for each base and stage to support global integrated operation.
Global Digital & Intelligent Operation Center Development: Lead the planning and implementation of the global digital & intelligent operation center, and drive the deep integration of lean management with SAP, MES, AI and big data. Build a global operation data middle platform and visual command platform to realize full-process data connectivity and intelligent analysis of production, quality, supply chain, equipment and delivery. Promote lean-intelligent projects including intelligent production lines, automated logistics, and establish a global lean digital twin system.
Efficiency Improvement & Delivery Assurance: Lead production efficiency improvement across global bases, tackle bottleneck processes, optimize production line layout, and enhance OEE, per capita output and capacity utilization. Establish a global delivery assurance mechanism, coordinate cross-base capacity allocation and process collaboration, respond quickly to customer orders, shorten lead times, and ensure the stability of the global supply chain.
Global Lean Project Promotion & Implementation: Lead major lean improvement projects including production line optimization, process reengineering, layout adjustment and cost reduction & efficiency enhancement, and set up global cross-functional and cross-regional project teams. Establish a global lean project management mechanism to track progress, evaluate effectiveness, conduct reviews and solidify results, forming a replicable global lean improvement methodology.
Lean Quality Management: Integrate lean thinking into the global quality management system, implement lean quality tools to reduce defect rates and quality loss costs. Establish unified global lean quality standards to improve product consistency and stability to meet the requirements of high-end photonic device manufacturing.
Global Lean Culture Development & Talent Cultivation: Be responsible for the promotion of global lean culture, and organize lean training and awareness improvement for Chinese and overseas bases. Establish a global lean talent echelon, identify and cultivate cross-regional lean backbones, and build a professional and international lean team.
Global Cross-departmental & Cross-base Collaboration: Collaborate with global production, engineering, quality, supply chain, procurement and logistics teams to promote the implementation of lean concepts across the entire value chain. Coordinate and resolve cross-border operational process barriers, optimize the global lean management model, and ensure efficient global operation collaboration.
Global Operation Data Monitoring & Continuous Improvement: Establish a global KPI monitoring system for lean operation, regularly analyze operation data of global bases, identify shortcomings and drive closed-loop improvements. Build a global continuous improvement mechanism, encourage rationalization proposals, and foster a cross-border, full-participation lean improvement culture.
3.Qualifications & Requirements
Bachelor’s degree or above in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Manufacturing, photonics, Operations Management or related fields.
8+ years of lean/operations management experience in optics, consumer electronics industry; 5+ years of experience as Lean Director / Lean Manager in global operations, with successful track record in lean management across multinational multi-site operations.
Proficient in lean tools and methodologies; proven experience in independently building a global lean system and leading digital / intelligent factory construction; familiar with digital systems such as MES; experience in AI + lean implementation is a strong plus.
Excellent global coordination, cross-cultural communication, change management and project management capabilities; result-oriented and open to global business travel.
