Operational Turnaround
– Conduct a rapid and rigorous diagnostic of the plant's operational performance — identifying the root
causes of current losses across cost, capacity, productivity, and process
– Develop and execute a structured turnaround plan with clear milestones, accountability, and a
realistic path to profitability
– Ensure fulfilment of all existing customer demand commitments without disruption during the
turnaround period — maintaining delivery reliability as a non-negotiable baseline
– Identify and eliminate waste across manufacturing processes — applying lean and Theory of
Constraints thinking to unlock capacity and reduce cost
– Fully utilise existing plant capacity — addressing current underutilisation as an immediate priority
and building a plan to sustain full utilisation going forward
– Strengthen shopfloor discipline — 5S, visual management, daily management systems, and shift-
level accountability structures
Manufacturing & Quality Excellence
– Lead with the Production Head to drive delivery performance, OEE improvement, and zero-defect
quality standards across CV and off-highway product lines
– Champion TPM across the plant — establishing pillar-based implementation, building ownership at
the shopfloor level, and working towards JIPM recognition as a long-term marker of operational
maturity
– Drive a First Time Right (FTR) philosophy across all manufacturing processes — from design and
process engineering through to production and dispatch — reducing rework, rejections, and
customer returns at their root cause rather than managing them at inspection
– Own the reduction of customer PPM levels as a strategic priority — setting ambitious targets per
product line, building real-time visibility of defect data, and ensuring quality issues trigger structured
corrective action rather than short-term fixes
Cost Reduction & Manufacturing Efficiency
– Build a detailed cost structure analysis — understanding fixed, variable, and avoidable costs across
the plant P&L
– Drive systematic cost reduction through manufacturing process improvements, scrap reduction,
rework elimination, and energy efficiency
– Identify and implement value engineering opportunities in partnership with the product and
engineering teams
– Establish a culture of cost ownership at every level of the plant — ensuring managers and
supervisors are accountable for their cost lines
Commercial Turnaround
– Work in close partnership with the commercial teams to lead renegotiation of pricing with existing
export and domestic customers
– Build a clear picture of the commercial drivers of the plant's loss — identifying which contracts,
customers, and product lines are margin-dilutive and why
