Responsibilities

JOB DESCRIPTION

- Wave 12 Deployment & Site Intervention
- Lead execution of the Wave 12 program at designated underperforming, new, and expansion manufacturing sites, following the global deployment methodology and defined readiness and handover gates.
- Rapidly assess site conditions, identify critical operating-system gaps, and translate findings into a focused 12-week deployment and stabilization plan with clear milestones, ownership, and measurable outcomes.
- Operate as an embedded Integral Manufacturing resource during the intervention, providing direct hands-on implementation, coaching, and governance until the site is ready for structured handover.
- Escalate barriers, leadership gaps, resource constraints, and systemic risks to Global Manufacturing leadership with clear recovery actions and timing.

Tier Accountability & Daily Management

- Deploy and stabilize Tier Accountability from frontline through site leadership levels using global standards, standard agendas, visual boards, and escalation pathways.
- Establish the daily management cadence required to make safety, quality, delivery, cost, productivity, and other critical performance gaps visible and actionable.
- Coach leaders to run effective Tier meetings focused on abnormality management, ownership, action closure, and timely escalation.
- Audit meeting effectiveness and progressively transfer ownership to local leadership as part of the Wave 12 handover.

5S+1, Visual Management & Workplace Stability

- Deploy foundational 5S+1 and visual management standards in priority production and support areas, beginning with the highest operational risks and constraints.
- Establish clear workplace standards,



ownership, audit routines, and visual controls that support safe, repeatable, and disciplined execution.
- Coach site teams to identify abnormalities, eliminate basic waste, and maintain standards through routine leadership follow-up.

Problem Solving, Escalation & Recovery

- Implement structured root cause analysis and problem-solving routines for chronic or high-impact operational issues using practical Lean methodologies.
- Create disciplined escalation pathways with clear problem ownership, due dates, countermeasures, and closure verification.
- Drive rapid containment and corrective action while ensuring recurring problems are converted into standardized improvements.

Leader Standard Work & Leadership Discipline

- Deploy role-based Leader Standard Work for operational and functional leaders, aligned with Tier Accountability, Gemba walks, key performance indicator reviews, and escalation routines.
- Coach site leaders in the behaviors required to sustain the operating system after handover.

Standard Work & Basic Lean Deployment

- Support development and deployment of standard work in critical processes to improve stability, repeatability, and performance.
- Apply foundational Lean tools such as waste identification, Gemba, visual management, process mapping, flow improvement, Kaizen,



and basic setup reduction where required by the site condition.

Performance Management & KPI Governance

- Establish or restore key performance indicator governance aligned with global Manufacturing and Vertiv Operating System requirements.
- Ensure data used in daily and weekly management is accurate, visible, actionable, and connected to site priorities.
- Provide transparent progress reporting against Wave 12 milestones and operational stabilization targets.

Site Launch & Expansion Readiness

- Support new manufacturing launches and major expansions by establishing the basic operating system before and during ramp-up.
- Partner with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Engineering, Safety, and other functions to identify readiness gaps that could affect safe and stable execution.

Handover, Sustainment & Capability Building

- Build local capability throughout the intervention through hands‑on coaching, practical training, and direct participation in daily operating routines.
- Validate that critical Wave 12 standards are operating effectively and that local leaders can sustain them without continuous Global Manufacturing support.
- Support the site toward Vertiv Operating System capability readiness after stabilization, while keeping the immediate Wave 12 focus on basic operational discipline and system stability.

Cross‑Functional Execution

- Work across Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Engineering, Environmental Health and Safety, Human Resources, and other functions to remove barriers and establish an integrated operating cadence.
- Act as a neutral glo
