Responsibilities:-Troubleshoot faults in equipment, batch programming, and instrumentation-Identify process improvement opportunities both capital and non-capital:-Capital improvements were scoped, trialed, and implemented according to PSM standards utilizing p-project PHA’s, following proper MOC, PSSR, and Process Alignment-Non-capital improvements were screened by a cross-functional team to identify quality implications and audited to ensure proper MOC of the process-Engage in PFMEA’s and DFMEA’s to ensure current processes could meet the requirements for new product introduction-Develop and implemented PM’s for critical safety interlocks to maintain SIL-1 rating-Lead standardization efforts for small batch production by designing the equipment to be used as the site standard-Lead and participate in safety and quality incident investigations using RCA and 5-why analysis to identify the leading causes and drive both corrective and preventive actions-Serve as the SME across the production facility in area PHA’s.-Identify gaps in process safety during PHA’s-Analyze gauge R&R data to calculate process capability, with the goal of achieving six sigma quality -Assist in roll-out of area Operational Excellence program, SCRUM, and SQDCM boards-Lead process centering efforts to ensure batches are made right the first time-Mentor interns on summer projectsProjects (refer to "Project" section below for more detail):Bulk Storage Tank ExpansionRight Sizing BatchesMezzanine Tank RecommissioningMixing ImprovementsFormula CenteringIn-Process TestingOrder of Addition ChangesIntermediate BreakdownSplit Bulk TankResin ChillerProject Development

Front Royal, Va

Description:Investigated sources of improvement, statistical analysis of overarching issues, lean manufacturing, and developed tools for future analysis.Projects:• Mixing Tank Feed Optimization ensured that the mixing tank feeding system had intrinsic rinsing. This was done through piping changes, and formulation changes; resulted in annualized savings of $150,000• Retesting Analysis, investigated the root cause of batches which requiring more mixing; concluded mixing was un-optimal and suggested potential intermediates and increased mixing times• Small Batch Variances, suggested changes to loading procedures, ventilation amounts, and mixing capabilities in small batches to improve production quality

King Of Prussia, Pa

Description:Mentored by experienced process engineer and completed manufacturing projects that focused on process improvement and simplification.Projects:• Automated Audits, automated process audits to compare to previous production parameter history• Slab and Core Waste Reduction, developed, trained, and implemented plan to reduce raw material waste resulting in $200,000 annualized savings• 5S Project, labeled start up procedure, organized tool-room, created new storage containers, and created shadow boards• Packaging process settings overhaul, updated the documentation methods of the production settings• Other projects; efficiency and waste correlations of the daily weather on the manufacturing lines, automated the consolidation of consumer complaints, and tracked the changeover of different products on the manufacturing line.
