Material management (plastic, metal, soft materials)
Optimize injection molding, die casting, and fabric manufacturing.
PI standards and system building
Develop and maintain CMF PI standards at a global benchmark level by creating material libraries and technical specification documents, defining acceptance criteria and QC standards, establishing cross-supplier consistency systems, and collaborating with the design, sourcing, and quality teams.
Factory management and negotiation
Drive factories toward higher aesthetic and quality standards by troubleshooting production issues on site, conducting material validation and pilot runs, and ensuring consistency from NPI to mass production.
