The goal is to convert individual and team knowledge into reusable organisational assets that improve future design and process decisions and prevent repeated failures.  This role combines two complementary disciplines: (1) facilitating the elicitation and documentation of lessons learned into actionable, reusable knowledge assets, and (2) enabling cross-functional teams to build, maintain, and reuse high-quality Foundation FMEAs (both PFMEA and DFMEA) using the AIAG-VDA 1st edition methodology. The facilitator does not own the FMEA content or the lessons — that remains with the functional teams (PDE, DPE, AQP). This role exists to enable, coach, and drive these teams to capture and reuse knowledge effectively. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:Foundation FMEA Facilitation•      Facilitate cross-functional teams (PDE, DPE, AQP, ME) in building Foundation and project-specific PFMEAs and DFMEAs using the AIAG-VDA 1st edition methodology in Plato e1ns software. •      Coach and guide teams through structured FMEA sessions — asking the right questions, challenging weak analysis, and ensuring output meets quality standards. Functional teams own FMEA progress and domain knowledge; the facilitator provides methodology discipline and process structure. •      Prioritise Foundation FMEA development in collaboration with the Capability Leader, KM and functional leaders — focusing on product families and process types with the highest repeat-failure rates, knowledge concentration risks, or cross-site sharing opportunities. •      Identify and facilitate cross-site reuse of Foundation FMEAs in project-specific FMEAs, ensuring they are enriched by Foundation FMEAs rather than rebuilt from scratch. •      Serve as a Plato e1ns subject matter expert within the site — training users, troubleshooting issues, and advising on best practices for structuring FMEAs in the software. Knowledge Elicitation and Capture•      Facilitate knowledge capture at key workflow moments: after problem resolution (8D/QN closure), during NPI design reviews, at project phase gates, and proactively with at-risk experts (e.g., retirement, role change). •      Conduct structured knowledge elicitation sessions with SMEs and project teams — using interviews, facilitated reflection, and guided storytelling to surface tacit knowledge that would not emerge through self-documentation alone. •      Harvest knowledge from existing work outputs — 8D reports, design review minutes, QN closure notes, and project retrospectives — and convert them into structured, reusable lessons. Knowledge Distillation, Quality and Reuse•      Transform raw information (incident reports, meeting notes, expert interviews) into distilled insights — clear, concise knowledge assets that identify the systemic root cause, the decision point affected, the recommended prevention, and the scope of applicability. •      Apply a quality standard to all knowledge assets before publication: every lesson must answer — What systemic gap allowed this? What should change? Where else does this apply? How will reuse be verified? •      Ensure lessons from Auros and 8D reports flow into Foundation FMEA updates, and that Foundation FMEA gaps are flagged for knowledge capture — creating a closed loop between lessons learned and risk...
