Execute processing and packaging improvements while interfacing with department leaders and technicians to deliver effective initiatives
KEY RESPONSIBITIES
Develop technical mastery of the core production processes.
Execute processing improvements while interfacing with department leaders and technicians to deliver effective initiatives including:
Learn all key safety elements related to plant operations
Learn inputs, outputs, and transformations of the process.
Learn how each basic component operates and its application in the process.
Learn quality parameters/specifications and how to measure quality .Issues running or making materials at suppliers
Complete new leader technical qualification
Identify key process parameters and their impact on the process.
Learn process parameters (pressure, flow, temperature, speed/rate, timing, of components
Learn capacities and constraints
Understand and implement HPO concepts Team dynamics including Supply Chain Optimization.
Lead initiative/capital project
Lead the CQV (Commissioning/Qualification/Verification) process
Lead process/material improvement projects, which could include managing material changes, qualifying alternate materials, delivering material cost savings or participating in new product launches
Stabilize core production process areas to deliver critical results.
Problem solving and improvement work will involve the following activities:
Collecting and analyzing data from suppliers, plant operations, customers, and consumers
Designing and executing experiments, at both supplier sites and in plant operations
Validating improvements/corrective actions will deliver the desired benefits
Implementing the improvements/corrective actions in the supply chain
Partner with R&D, TSO, Plant Operations and Marketing in recommendations on final package design for new initiatives
Managing specifications and changes with associated testing or project work.
Written reports on testing, validations and problem solving measures.
