Position summary
The Modules Production Manager (MPM) is the technical product owner of the Flowrence® modules, Custom made modules if applicable (in the business areas of Adsorption, Electrolysis, Chemical Conversion and Pyrolysis), and any (future) proprietary components or products.
The MPM is accountable for ensuring manufacturing of all modules is executed against the right quality. To this end the MPM ensures initial documentation after handover from development is such that suppliers can manufacture in line with required quality standards. This documentation is to be kept up to date with any validated changes or improvements that are triggered internally or externally. In line with this, appropriate quality standards and measurements should be setup, agreed with, and signed by suppliers, including test protocols, test documentation, and quality levels (e.g. allowed failure rates).
To ensure manufacturability against required quality standards is economically feasible the MPM should already be involved during the development of modules and products. The MPM is responsible for formal signoff of the development phase towards production, thereby ensuring that what has been developed can be manufactured by appropriate suppliers. Formal product dossiers and conformity dossiers (e.g. CE Marking) are to be setup and maintained in line with this.
