Key Achievements:Introduced a new aluminium alloy for the wrinkle wall and smooth-wall semi-rigid container products satisfying the current market requirements. The alloy development gives simplification of material inventory, a product benefit in the relatively new area of smooth-wall containers and energy saving in the heat treatment for products in the wrinkle-wall market, currently adopted by European plants.Improvement of foilstock material from a supplier contributed to a near 11%… Show more Key Achievements:Introduced a new aluminium alloy for the wrinkle wall and smooth-wall semi-rigid container products satisfying the current market requirements. The alloy development gives simplification of material inventory, a product benefit in the relatively new area of smooth-wall containers and energy saving in the heat treatment for products in the wrinkle-wall market, currently adopted by European plants.Improvement of foilstock material from a supplier contributed to a near 11% increase in yield to improve the performance of materials to a 6µm thickness.Creating a rejection system for foil stock defects based on metallographic reports and non conformity to existing specifications.Completed a green belt project to transfer specific double rolling oil into bulk storage and qualify all double rolled products at Bridgnorth site, enabling a significant cost saving to the business.Developed a certificate of conformity for the container market supplied by Bridgnorth, involving Information Technology and Production departments in data capture and data entry, to secure current business. Development of Laboratory technician from non technical background to a capability required by the Company.CI involvement at Green and Black belt level projects to improve quality standards.European and UK based customer interaction.Key responsibilities include:Management of foil stock qualityAlloy developmentContinual improvement to all existing products and practicesStatistical analysis Reporting to all levels of managementInternal auditing ISO 9001:2008COSHH assessmentMechanical testing of materials - Tensile testing, erichsen and burst testingLiaise with research & development institutes on project work and technical assistance reportsMaintain and introduce operating procedures, and internal specifications via the Lotus notes based integrated management systemProcess development and statistical analysis, Show less
