• Deploy and coach Lean and Heartbeat practices—daily management, standard work, leader standard work, kaizen, VSM, visual management, and action tracking—across the global RDO network.
• Grow durable Lean capability by mentoring leaders, developing practitioners, and embedding repeatable operating mechanisms.
• Translate ambiguous, conflicting data into practical improvements across products, processes, services, and transactional workflows, and influence operating plans, budgets, and capacity trade-offs.
