Continual Improvement Lead rPET, Washing Line (BoReTech), Extrusion and SSP (Starlinger).

• Evaluated the production performance by calculating the Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and increase in productivity.• Implemented LEAN methodologies, i.e. 5s principles that helped to reduce the waste, applied visual information that helped to identified the deviation from the standard. • Created a culture of continuous improvement and proactively identified area where improvements required.• Regularly done Gemba walk to get the comprehensive view of operation. • Collecting data on daily basis, brought it into the analysis, extracting meaningful insights and made the decision. • In order to measure operational efficiency and sustainable growth against strategic goals, successfully implemented KPIs. • Troubleshoot technical issues, drive the root cause and look for opportunities to fill the critical gaps in the manufacturing processes.

• Executed an idea to conserve 44~45% cooling tower make up water. • Conserved Demin water by implementing small modification, water saved up to 5~6% • Consumed high moisture, 7%, 2800-ton ethylene glycol and avoid the step of distillation and saved energy and operational cost up to 15~16%.• Review FEED and detailed package for new facility of Erema Mechanical recycling machine before Installation and commissioning.• Design calculation of equipment of pilot plant of Solid-State Polymerization, estimated CAPEX & OPEX, sizing of heater, reactor gas distributor, pressure drop across reactor and static cooler. • Demonstrated a detailed understanding of production practices and procedures, including risk analysis, HAZOP Studies, Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), P&IDs, shutdown and startup protocols, as well as isolation and control philosophies.• Knowledge of process piping fundamentals, codes and standards.• Performed HIRA studies to identify workplace hazards of manual activities• Review engineering data such as Heat and Material Balances, Process Flow Diagrams, P&I Diagrams.• Knowledge of local safety regulations.

• Supported commercial aspects and facilitated procurement of new equipment for brownfield projects and modification, ensuring efficient project execution and resource utilization.• Conducted negotiations with vendors/suppliers following technical evaluation and comparison of quotations for industrial equipment, leading to the finalization of requests for quotation (RFQ) and ensuring cost-effective procurement strategies.• Conducted meetings with international customers to solicit proposals (RFP).• Composed EFSA compliance for rPET, facilitating driving sales growth.• Implementation of Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) for recycled PET material, thereby fostering an economically sustainable business approach.• Secured global approval of recycled PET of PepsiCo, marking a step towards sustainability.• Implemented FSSC 22000, developed procedures, and crafted an HACCP plan to ensure the entire supply chain remained free from contamination and achieved food-grade status.

• Teaching of Engineering subjects, I.e. Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Plant Design, HAZOP, and operations management.• Creating the classroom environment that is simulating, encouraging, and adoptive for student’s need. • Conducted a seminar about the “Safety in petrochemical industry”, and provide the basic awareness of HAZOP, safety system in industries.

Skills gained:• Developed the experimental set up of purifying landfill methane gas.• Developed procedure and SOP of the biodiesel process.• Reforming of methane gas for the production of synthetic gas.• Gasification of wood chip for the production of synthetic gas.• Risk assessment of all equipment (pilot plant).• Analyzed and compiled the results of the pilot plant for further optimization. • Setting up and conducting experimental runs. • Modified and ordered the right equipment. • Problem solving • Working independently as well as with team.
