- Create process maps, flowcharts, and other visual documentation showing process steps, handoffs, decision points, and information/material flow.
- Identify bottlenecks, delays, duplication, gaps, and other process inefficiencies.
- Develop and document improved (“future-state”) workflows based on operational requirements and stakeholder input.
- Create and update SOPs, trackers, and standardized process documentation.
- Work with process owners to validate process maps and ensure documentation accurately reflects operations.
Data Analysis & Reporting
- Collect, organize, and analyze operational and production data from multiple departments.

- Work directly with operators, supervisors, coordinators, and other departments to understand process requirements and gather information.
- Support root cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Present process findings and proposed improvements clearly to stakeholders.
- Support implementation and follow-up of approved future-state processes.
Requirements
