LEAN- and 5S assistant

The position

At JAI we are looking for a dedicated LEAN assistant who is passionate about continuous improvements, 5S and Kaizen, and who thrives being close to operations. You will be a visible sparring partner for production, and you will be responsible for spotting and driving concrete improvement projects yourself – from idea to implementation and anchoring.

We are seeking a person with practical and documentable experience in LEAN, 5S and Kaizen and a hands-on approach to improvement work. You are self-driven regarding both task and result objectives, and you thrive leading a task.

Key responsibilities

• Drive Kaizen events, 5S and other improvement activities based on Gemba – from startup to implementation and follow-up
• Support colleagues in the daily use of LEAN and 5S tools
• Conduct problem-solving processes together with the involved employees
• Follow up on initiated initiatives and ensure that agreed improvements are anchored and sustained in daily work

Your profile

• Your experience comes from a manufacturing company, e.g. as LEAN assistant, LEAN coordinator etc.
• You involve your colleagues through dialogue and engagement
• You are structured, curious and have a desire to be close to operations and present at the Gemba
• You communicate clearly in Danish, and it is an advantage if you can also operate in English

Note: The position has no personnel responsibility. You gain influence through facilitation, dialogue and progress in the projects

We offer

In this job at JAI you will have a role close to operations, where you help translate ideas into concrete results that create value in everyday life. You become part of the work to spread and strengthen our LEAN and 5S culture, and you will have colleagues who back your initiatives. You become part of a company where collaboration, respect and development are a natural part of the culture.

JAI is a company with proud traditions and deep roots. The production is characterized by a blend of solid craftsmanship and automation.
