I supported the Eastman organizations registered to ISO 9001 quality system standard, globally. I performed quality audits to ISO 9001standard(Quality), but also FSSC 22000 standard (Food) and internal organizational standards (cGMP).I lead the corporate effort for the transition to ISO 9001:2015 standard by providing expertise, training, developing tolls and processes to comply to ISO 9001.I supported Eastman food manufacturing organizations globally, by providing expert advice, auditing and solving problems of noncompliance.I provided quality assurance service to the Technology organization's manufacturing division and supported the Technology organization globally as the quality expert. I developed and provided ISO 9001 training and auditing training to internal auditors, quality assurance managers and production managers within Eastman. I performed cGMP inspections and audits to the various cGMP levels applicable to the site. I ensure Food Defense compliance through the corporate food defense team. I provided service in HACCP analysis and prerequisite programs verification for Food Manufacturing safety systems.I acquired certifications of Lead auditor for ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000 and ASQ certified quality auditor.

During this assignment in quality assurance I supported three different Polymers manufacturing areas and one service department through quality assurance. I reviewed the quality results of products before release and investigated and resolved process deviations and customer complaints. I worked diligently to discover the root causes of the incidents and managed the implementation of the corrective actions.The customer complaints included investigation from injection blow molded parts and films performance issues. The performance issues investigated included material contamination, molding processing issues, etc.I successfully reduced the number of customer complaints year over year via implementation of effective corrective actions. The number of material in quarantine was successfully reduced to record low levels. This achievement was done by working directly with Analytical Lab, Research Lab, Technical Services, Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Business managers. It involves understanding and interaction across multiple groups and organizations to coordinate the movement of material and achieve the best value through the supply chain.I also became an internal auditor for ISO 9001 standard in the Polymers Division and attended the third party audits.

During this assignment as Process development Engineer, I supported the Polymers manufacturing facilities by identifying and executing projects to improve safety, capacity, yield, reliability, production throughput and quality. I was in charge of the chemical reactor units, the powder raw material conveying and mixing systems and Heat transfer units, distillation columns, furnaces, sludge systems. The projects spanned from analyzing and designing solutions to pump systems problems, automatic control equipment trouble shooting, controller tuning (DCS), increasing capacity, increasing run times etc. I also worked directly with the distillation train and quality projects. These were large scale continuous processing equipment (multi-million pounds per day). Some of the unit operations supported include: Pump systems, Heat exchangers (gas furnaces, shell and tube exchangers, heat transfer oil systems and air cooled exchangers), powder conveying, slurry mixing, gas/liquid distillation, vacuum systems, high temperature chemical reaction. I also supported the advance control automatic systems including honeywell and PLC systems. Every project where I modified the hydraulic characteristics of the system I also modified the tuning parameters of the automatic controllers to ensure it would continue to operate effectively.

During this coop experience I developed and executed process improvement projects in the manufacture of medical devices. The medical devices manufactured were drug-coated stents.I worked specifically in the early stages of the drug-coating process. The manufacturing environment required clean room facilities to achieve a sterile product. I successfully completed various projects including a time study and modification of the process sequence to improve productivity. I performed a study utilizing Design of Experiments to improve the cleaning of the coating tools within the process validation parameters. I also contributed to Quality and process excellence by creating and managing daily production metrics to identify the areas with most opportunity for improvement. Utilizing Pareto charts and statistical tools I analyzed and reported progress on daily production meetings.

During this summer internship at this biotechnology manufacturing facility I performed process deviation investigations and troubleshooted these deviations and non-conformances. During this short time I learned the Johnson and Johnson quality system utilized, and learned their process for investigating and reporting the Non-Conformance reports. This facility utilized the clean room environment necessary for enteric drug manufacturing (sterile intravenous drug). I successfully investigated and documented the findings of several deviations, following the required Good documentation practices. A part of the correction of the deviations I assisted in the generation and modification of SOP’s and validation protocols and reports.
