The posting

Player-coach leader of the lean transformation across PerkinElmer’s three manufacturing sites in China, Malaysia, and Singapore. Owns the multi-year lean roadmap, program governance, and validated results, while simultaneously serving as the region’s senior technical authority on the Toyota Production System — setting the methodology standard, coaching plant leadership, and building belt capability at every site. Leads and develops a team of three site-based Lean Practitioners. Based in Singapore with regular presence at all three plants.

Responsibilities:

  • Define and own the multi-year lean transformation roadmap for the three plants, aligned to annual policy deployment (hoshin kanri) and site P&L priorities.
  • Run program governance: monthly steering reviews with the three Plant General Managers and quarterly reviews with the Vice President, Operations, including a finance-validated savings pipeline.
  • Directly manage, coach, and develop three site-based Lean Practitioners (solid line), including project allocation, standard work for the lean team, and belt certification progression.
  • Own the regional lean methodology standard: value stream mapping, kaizen, standard work, 5S and visual management, SMED, TPM fundamentals, heijunka/leveling, and tiered daily management.
  • Personally lead the most complex, cross-site improvement initiatives — e.g., first-pass yield in instrument test, test cycle-time reduction, and changeover reduction in high-mix / low-volume assembly.
  • Design and deploy the tiered daily management system (SQDIP boards, tiered meetings, gemba walks, leader standard work) and coach Plant General Managers and their staff in its daily use.
  • Build site capability: train, coach, and certify Green Belts and Yellow Belts among plant engineers, supervisors, and line leaders; own the regional belt development plan.
  • Establish and maintain the project selection and chartering process; ensure every project has a baseline, target, owner, timeline, and finance-validated benefit
  • Standardize and replicate proven improvements across the three sites (yokoten); maintain the regional best-practice library.
  • Partner with Quality, Supply Chain, and NPI functions to extend lean thinking beyond the shop floor.
  • Report program metrics — savings, project throughput, belt certifications, and daily management maturity — monthly to the Vice President, Operations.
  • Safeguard practitioner effectiveness: manage site demands through the project portfolio so embedded practitioners are developed as improvement leaders rather than absorbed into daily firefighting.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or a related technical field.
  • 10+years of manufacturing operations experience, including 5+ years in a dedicated lean / continuous improvement leadership role.
  • Certified Master Black Belt, Lean Master, or equivalent recognized certification, with a documented record of site-level lean transformations delivering quantified, sustained results.
  • Demonstrated experience training, coaching, and certifying Green Belts and Yellow Belts.
  • Direct people-leadership experience, including managing remote or multi-site direct reports.
  • Hands-on mastery of TPS methods: value stream mapping, kaizen facilitation, standard work, SMED, TPM, heijunka, and tiered daily management.
  • Experience operating across multiple manufacturing sites in Asia; able to travel up to 40–50% within the region (China, Malaysia, Singapore)
  • Fluent business English, written and spoken.

Preferred Characteristics:

  • Experience in high-mix / low-volume electronics, analytical instruments, medical devices, or similar regulated discrete manufacturing.
  • Experience facilitating hoshin kanri / policy deployment at site or regional level.
  • Exposure to TWI (Job Instruction / Job Relations), the Shingo model, or Toyota-lineage sensei coaching.
  • Experience leading a “model line” transformation used as the template for broader site roll out.
  • Formal change management training or practical experience leading culture change in manufacturing plants.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
