I ensured that Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) were followed according to standards that satisfied federal regulations.I acted as the bridge between machine operators and management, ensuring compliance and keeping daily and weekly schedules on track.My responsibilities also included operating machines during staffing shortages or when additional operators were needed to meet production demands.I was trained to troubleshoot machine execution system issues independently or collaborate with engineers to identify and resolve problems.I demonstrated a dedicated commitment to floor leadership, creating an environment where operators felt supported and appreciated during shift operations.I led investigations into potential nonconforming materials, segregated them, and documented all findings.I spearheaded process improvement initiatives to eliminate waste and implemented measures to enhance efficiency and output.Additionally, I oversaw shifts in the supervisor's absence, managing shift handoffs, scheduling operator shifts, and supporting the daily running of operations. I executed training programs for new hires and provided ongoing training for existing operators on new processes and roles. I also advised and supported new supervisors by providing insights into production floor operations, machine equipment functions, and troubleshooting methods.My keen attention to detail saved the company millions of dollars during my tenure. Notable examples include catching materials nearing expiration, identifying documentation errors before submission, and halting machine operations producing nonconforming materials.
