  • Partner with Industrial Engineering colleagues to understand relevant capacity models and use capacity insight to identify opportunities and quantify improvements.
  • Liaise with CI and Business Performance Specialists to ensure valuable operational KPIs are reflected in digital dashboards and related performance tools.
