Team Lead
CurrentI facilitated direct collaboration between design and manufacturing teams, addressing machinery issues that caused delays in furniture production. To minimize downtime and meet deadlines, I implemented preventative maintenance routines, made necessary repairs, and established reliable supplier relationships for spare parts. By discovering and addressing issues like wearing out capacitors, I reduced machinery downtime by 40% and improved production effectiveness.Additionally, I trained and mentored tradespeople in equipment monitoring and reliability techniques, overseeing fabrication and programming welding robotics machines. Faced with challenges from outdated machinery and workflow inefficiencies, I conducted thorough assessments of manufacturing processes, pinpointed inefficiencies, and implemented improvement measures such as toolbox meetings and close work inspection. This resulted in a 25% reduction in lead times and enhanced product quality through optimized processes.Furthermore, I ensured adherence to Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) standards to maintain safe and efficient operations. Responsible for safety regulations during commissioning and production phases, I prioritized the safety of the production team. Addressing an absence of comprehensive safety standards and non-compliance issues among the production team, I mitigated risks associated with machinery operation and material handling.Comprehensive safety assessments and the implementation of mandatory safety protocols, such as advising the use of shield masks during grinder operations, contributed to the complete elimination of major workplace injuries and accidents. This proactive safety management approach underscored our commitment to maintaining a safe working environment.
