Develop a practical understanding of tank-car manufacturing processes, production constraints, car configurations, and cost drivers in order to assess how proposed orders may affect production sequencing, line changeovers, labor utilization, bottlenecks, capacity, cost, schedule, and the profitability of other tank cars in the production plan. Review and approve AFEs and related business cases for larger improvement initiatives requiring capital, validating project costs, applicable car volumes, per-car and total P&L benefits, cash flow, payback, return assumptions, and post-completion results.
