MECHANICAL ENGINEER(Kimberly Clark-Flint Site) I work as a Mechanical Engineer in Kimberly Clarks Coleshills mill, I am part of the support team i manage a number of maintenance technicians who look after 4 compound asset areas; we are responsible for the safety of all persons and plant, which includes maintenance as well as project work. We review all areas weekly prioritising work in advance, using system tools such as SAP R3,Office,CMMS systems to capture work. We effectively plan work, manage backlog and maintenance schedules. I have been involved in the pilot team that was instrumental in the transition of LEAN Manufacturing, during the 4 year journey within Kimberly Clark, we have exercised many of the tools associated with it, including, Four Step Problem Solving and Kaizen events this engaged continual improvements across our Lines. The pilot scheme increased productivity on our least efficient rolled asset by 20% reducing waste across all our activities, Measured through K.P.I’s We use the Lean model daily for delivering accurate data, (speed waste delay) this enables the continuous improvement program to be affective. I am a member of the P2020 team which is fortunate to travel to other factories to help problem solve, coach and take part in brainstorming activities, this has enable continual growth within European mills. The role reports directly to the senior site engineer responsibilities include key practices such as (RCFA) root cause failure analysis to aid predictive maintenance for improving equipment reliability, Pm’s schedules are created and implemented through the sturdy of potential failure modes, i am also Permit Authoriser trained. I authorise parts inventory and financial budgets these are controlled through tiered authorisation levels. The maintenance structure is set around the lean model which is now a more complete cycle engaging all team members. (Day Shift and 24 hr call out)

Litovel Czech Republic

MEMBER OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM,(Kimberley Clark-Litovel Mill) I was selected as part of a three-man team, to install and commission machines in a new production facility in the Czech Republic for 24 months. This involved the installation and commissioning of the new plant, producing technical literature in the form of instruction manuals for the equipment as aid for training people to operate and maintain the process. The equipment was then evaluated, the product was upgraded, appropriations written and implemented this enabled the machine capability to be lifted to make a higher quality product for the lowest possible cost. Later we set into operation spare part stores associated with manufacturing processes in the mill, detailed monthly preventative maintenance schedule were produced for all machines underlining daily checks that required attention (lubrication, cleaning, filter changes, etc these tasks proved to increase the reliability of the equipment and reduce machine stops.
