CEO

About the Role The CEO is tasked with a high-stakes evolution: streamlining our 1,200-person operation using Lean methodologies to eliminate deep-seated inefficiencies, and simultaneously architecting a scalable production framework that allows Transformer Robotics to double capacity without a linear increase in overhead. Job Description Key Transformation Pillar 1. Lean Integration & Waste Elimination Audit and overhaul end-to-end production flows using Lean/Six Sigma principles (5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping). Drastically reduce Lead Times and Work-in-Progress (WIP) inventory to free up working capital. Establish a "Quality at the Source" culture to minimize rework and scrap rates. 2. Scalability & Capacity Engineering Design and implement modular production lines that can be replicated or expanded with minimal friction. Oversee the transition from manual-heavy processes to semi-automated or robotic-assisted workflows where ROI is highest. Standardize Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure that quality remains consistent as the headcount or factory footprint grows. 3. Strategic Resource Planning Optimize the supply chain to ensure raw material flow can support increased production velocity. Implement data-driven decision-making through enhanced ERP utilization and real-time shop floor reporting. Requirements The "Lean" Pedigree: Proven experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment where Lean was the primary driver of profitability. Furniture experience is a huge plus Scaling Experience: A track record of taking a factory from "mid-size" to "large-scale" (e.g., doubling output or managing multi-site operations). Vietnam Experience : Crucial for navigating the local labor market and ensuring that Lean principles are culturally integrated, not just "enforced." Visionary Pragmatism: The ability to see the 5-year "Smart Factory" goal while solving the immediate bottleneck on the factory floor today.
