Discrete Event Simulation Manager

Summary: The Discrete Event Simulation Manager is responsible for developing and delivering a Discrete Event Simulation model, overseeing the entire process from concept to delivery. This role involves leading system optimization, coordinating projects, and mentoring junior team members. The position requires collaboration with design teams to ensure solutions meet various operational objectives. The manager will also support the continuous improvement of tools and techniques related to simulation models.

Key Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the development and delivery of the Discrete Event Simulation model and documentation, modelling the process flow from concept thru to the delivery phase to JOB1 + 90 days.
• The model will be developed to include, but not limited to: -
• Discrete Event Simulation
• Lead the DES model generation from concept modelling to fully detailed mimic of the programme/system that meet the design scope, operating principals, performance metrics, safety, quality, delivery, cost, people and environment objectives are met.
• Lead the system optimisation, cost avoidance, best practises capturing and sharing this with relevant stakeholders.
• Able to work effectively with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints.
• Guide the process using a product knowledge and awareness of potential design constraints to ensure due consideration is given in developing solutions.
• Coordinate and lead projects and teams feedback of results as required through design/project reviews/DES Dashboards.
• Lead optimisation of the DES model against different model derivative mixes and operational parameters.
• Lead the bottleneck analysis of the system and develop strategies to remove.
• Lead volume throughput increase studies and system what if's.
• Guide the process to adhere to the vehicle derivative sequencing and build to sequence rules.
• Support the continual development of tools and techniques which enhance capability, improve quality and robustness of DES models.
• Mentor and train Junior team members and graduates.
• Undertake any other work as directed by their line manager in connection with their job as may be requested.

Key Skills:

• Working knowledge and experience of Discrete Event Simulation toolset.
• Previous experience in using Lanner Witness or Siemens Technomatix Plant Simulation toolset.
• Previous experience and background in production process flow simulation, problem solving on complex technical systems.
• Previous experience of bottleneck analysis using Discrete Event Simulation.
• Previous experience of delivering Discrete Event Simulation to programme KPIs and targets.
• Experience in production sites.
• Relevant degree or equivalent experience preferred.
• A good communicator who can communicate complex ideas.
• An effective team player, actively leads, develops and supports team members.
• High levels of personal resilience, integrity and honesty as well as large amounts of humility for the team.
• An individual who enables speed in decision making through establishing alignment, clarity, appropriate resources and sense of urgency whilst bringing others along.
