  7. Lead global initiatives and manage budgets for Factory of the Future OPEX and CAPEX.
  8. Drive innovation by scouting, evaluating, and selecting new ideas aligned with the Plasma Operating Unit's business goals.
  9. Enhance and develop our OpU plan with R&D to create an end-to-end value chain of initiatives that define our future state facility.
  10. Accountable for program development, including budget management (Factories of the Future OPEX & program CAPEX).
  11. Manage network capacity projects, bottleneck reduction, and process improvements.
