Senior PLM Process Consultant - Design and Manufacturing

Role: Senior PLM Process Consultant - Design and Manufacturing
Duration: 3+ Months
Location: Groton/Mystic, CT

Must have shipyard work dispatch process experience

It is likely that role #4 is the most critical/difficult role to fill for the program. This assertion is based on what we heard from the client and knowing this involves a highly critical design/engineering/PLM/manufacturing process required to build these ships that has to meet some of the most stringent and difficult design, engineering, and construction requirements and standards to attain.
From what we heard, Client needs a PROCESS CONSULTANT experienced in having the ability to collect detailed process steps spanning all aspects of "Design (concept development and preceding activities, system-level design, detailed design, engineering, 3-D CAD modeling, engineering drawing construction, component simulations and analyses (e.g., thermal, structural, electrical, etc.), design for manufacturability, Bill of Materials (BOM) finalization, prototyping, testing and validation, and manufacturing preparation), PLM BOM management, engineering change requests and orders, change traceability, workflow-driven approval processes, requirements management, traceability of requirements to final product, document and content management, design signoff and audit trails, CATIA CAD integration and design data management, product visualization and digital mockups, workflow and process management, regulatory standard compliance, failure mode and effects analysis, component non-conformance, manufacturing process management, supplier collaboration and integration, lifecycle visualization, metrics/KPIs and analytics, integration/interfaces with enterprise systems, and "printing / delivery of engineering work packages to workers building the submarine. This is an off-the-cuff summary of many process steps that need to be documented, traced, and evaluated. Experience in the process including design and improvement is highly desirable.
4A.) Nice to have would be a person (potentially a second person) who could leverage a Business Process Mining (BPM) tool to see if the as-is process is traceable using BPM. This would require a PROCESS CONSULTANT (perhaps a second person) who understands how to use a tool like Celonis or Aris and also understands PLM platforms. This would meet the client's expectations of using tools to accelerate process capture and process improvement.
Additional Recommendation: I would also suggest finding an individual who has recent experience with AI applications. The client is interested in finding an AI-enabled way to generate and regenerate a minimum number of work packages instead of constantly "reprinting the number of work packages previously generated. The idea is that the original set of work packages is regenerated when critical design or engineering changes occur
