Create strong area-level accountability through clear and transparent metrics on area operational performance. Provide analysis of data, highlight key trends and issues, and identify potential solutions for area issues. Participate in setting area efficiency targets (CT, Utils, Moves, QDR's, Redundancy, AMHS, TW, Q-time performance, etc.). Participate in the planning and execution of redundancy plans. Perform safety audits and good catches. Improve safety behaviors and processes for their work environment through analyzing and sharing safety data. Establish and communicate performance targets and line of sight goals to individual contributors. Partner closely with IE, ME, OI and the shift teams to ensure strategic and systemic tactical line optimization that meets operational commitments. Partner closely with ME/PEE and PD area leaders to effectively forecast systemic issues and create mitigation plans. Provide feedback, coordinate with teams, and contribute to program-level decisions with primary focus on operational efficiency.
