Tested these and reported my findings in report and presentation format to my colleagues. Collaborated with suppliers where relevant to ensure maxiumum results. > Problem solving: Techniques used to compliment continuous improvement activities. Responsible in solving an issue with mouthpiece manufacture process. Identified the problem, found the root cause, and implemented solution. Underwent problem solving technique training, such as fish bone diagrams and KT analysis.> Leadership: Led continuous improvement projects, directing multi-disciplinary teams and planning timelines of work to ensure successful completion of work. > Manufacturing experience: Manufacturing nebuliser devices for clinical supply and empty dry powder blister strips for development purposes.> Continuous improvement: Major part of my role to implement continuous improvements throughout multiple projects. These included data integrity, blister filling line machine upgrades, and nebuliser manufacture process development. Have experience of leading these projects whilst at Maersk.> Statistical analysis: Performed analysis of large sets of data for multiple projects. Use of both Excel and JMP. Learned numerous techniques; examples include process capability, t-tests, and gauge R&R used for equipment and process validations. > Communication: Liaised with suppliers via email, over the phone, and face to face to oversee ordering new equipment and implementation of upgrades. Experience in giving presentations to the manufacturing team with project updates. Written communication through technical reports and protocols and industry specific documents (CCRs, DEVs, CAPAs, etc). Experience in working collaboratively and communicating with overseas offices on projects. Show less
