This increased the total yield by 6%.- Reviewed and updated the plant layout and process documents (P&ID, PFD, Datasheets).- Was in charge of the Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015): handling of non-conformances, performing root-cause analysis, following up of calibration program, perform audits according to schedule. - Reviewed technical proposals from vendors for process optimization: pumps, heat exchangers, filters, dryers, instrumentation, air compressors, mixers, DAF, vessels, atomizers.- Weekly written reports to the Operations Manager.- Main customers: Nestlé, Unilever, Carozzi.Noted accomplishments- Led the team responsible for implementing ISO 9001:2015 standard in 2017 and HACCP:2011 in 2019 for starch and glucose manufacturing. Both being certified after successful audits by SGS against the aforementioned standards.- Organized the commissioning and start-up of a syrup demineralization system (NOVASEP Technology), handling a budget of $200.000. The addition of this process increased the shelf life of the final product by 150%.- Revamped the instrumentation system in the maceration step, in support of several vendors, reducing processing time by 10%. - Implemented a new technology for handling high viscous fluids in Maltodextrin process, handling a budget of $30.000, which reduced processing time by 12%. - Headed as project manager the wastewater treatment system upgrade introducing 2 new DAF, revamping several types of equipment and automating the complete system, handling a budget of $1 Million. This project increased the capacity by 30%. Show less
