Material Flow Design Engineer (Working in Hai Phong)

Material flow design engineer is responsible for material flow design, automation implementation, and project management. As a material flow design engineer, you need to
• Evaluate material flow requirement, such as space/layout, mobile equipment & facilities, route planning, logistics systems, and manning.
• Lead logistics automation implementation.
• Execute logistics project management.
This position reports to Manufacturing Logistics Director.
Responsibilities:
1. Material flow design
• Design and establish material flow proposal, cover logistics operation from good receiving, put away, storage, kitting & sequence, line feeding, and material transfer between workshops.
• Develop Plan for Every Part (PFEP), material feeding strategy, storage mode evaluation, space requirement calculation, layout, equipment & facilities selection, route planning, systems, manning.
• Alignment with Shop ME / Purchase / Inbound / Packaging teams for efficient Material Flow.
• SOW/SOR, order placement, installation & commissioning (Hi-Bay, mobile equipment, automation facility, supermarket & line racks, racks for kitting/sequencing/delivery to line).
• Be able to propose effective optimization directions for logistics information systems, improve logistics operation efficiency and quality, and reduce logistics operation cost.
2. Automation implementation
• Develop automation equipment selection criteria.
• Lead the conceptual design of logistics automation projects (such as AGV, ASRS, conveyor, robot, etc.). To find the balance between complex layout, process, cost and delivery time constraints, and design simple and durable logistics automation solutions.
• Review and confirm the supplier's technical solutions, including mechanical solutions, electrical control solutions, information system solutions, safety solutions, etc.
• Lead the on-site debugging, problem investigation and resolution of logistics automation project.
• Build the system architecture of logistics automation equipment and interact with production and logistics systems efficiently and stably. Master the latest development trends of logistics automation technology in the industry and always maintain efficiency and creativity.
• Clarify the project input and output requirements, and be able to use simulation technology to model and analyze logistics operation scenarios, improve the efficiency of logistics planning decisions, the accuracy of logistics investment calculations, and the reliability of logistics operation continuous optimization plans;
3. Project management
• Identify failure risks at all stages of the project, provide technical solutions and promote problem solving.
• Project management and implementation, budget management, project time management, support and coordination of project launch and problem solving during implementation;
