Eliminated waste by coordinating with the manufacturing team to identify improvement opportunities on PWD, LQD, and BWM. -Developed and implemented comprehensive Root Cause / Corrective Action (RCA) process, addressing corporate and customer shipping quality concerns. Applied improvements by using KPIs, gathering data, assembling a team to map process, identifying 80% solution, and implementing action.

Served as a member of pre-commissioning, commissioning, and start-up team. As plant supervisor of MES plant led operation team after starting up to implement normal operating conditions and reach to laundry detergent specifications. -Led technical aspects of making Methyl ester sulfonate (MES) used to fabricate Liquid and Powders detergents. Identified and validated advanced processing options to meet future production scale requirements.-Designed system for making highly hydrogenated and refined methyl ester stock continuously, rather than a batch method of milling, demonstrating a much faster method for milling MES powder.-Instituted method for controlling foam's level in detergent formulations constraint when using MES in liquid form in a high pH environment.Controlled and used RBD palm stearin to produce detergent grade C16 ME, interchanging corporate technology connection with Lurgi, Crown and DeSmet and many other smaller players.-Achieved company objectives, maximizing catalyst usage (15% decrease in catalyst run length) and eliminating costly and unnecessary recycle processes (such as glycerin & free fatty acids).-Optimized Sulfonation Chemical reactions through deep reinforcement regression analysis learning by iteratively analyzing reaction results and choosing new conditions for improvement.

Promoted to plant process engineer for large-scale projects, and created a strong partnership with very large companies including Unilever, Colgate Palmolive, Colgate Canada, and Clorox. In previous position, functioned as process, and production supervisor/team leader for high-priority initiatives involving Methyl Ester post addition, perfume does improvement, wastewater UF treatment, process optimization studies on spray drying & agglomeration for Dyersburg and Salt Lake facility, packaging lines improve performance, and several quality control projects, including six sigma.Key Results:-The guided project team in developing the Ultra Filtration system with a partnership with Koch for wastewater treatment at 5X conversion.-Played an instrumental role on heat and material balance calculations for power department that were subsequently adopted for another company.Formally recognized for the leadership on the development and process design for a $20M Bleach project.-Saved $1.8M in fixed costs by wastewater re-use procedures that extended lifespan by several years on powders department.-Identified savings/improvement opportunities and solved challenging technical, process-flow and resource-limitation problems.-Relied on as one of plant’s primary process trainer for the powders department. Led comprehensive training on topics including processing & safety operations (including MOCs, HAZOPs, and P&IDs), SPC analysis, and quality standards and procedures for the Bleach plant.

Led different experimental parameters of the spray-drying process, including different builder types, active concentration, rate of slurry feeding, the pressure of atomizing air, drying air flow, and temperature of drying air. Performed optimization and screening of experimental parameters by design of experiment (DOE) approach.Most of the consumer products are sold under the TIMEbrand name. Oversee 450 workers engaged in constructing and improving equipment used to carry out chemical manufacturing processes. Direct activities of workers who operate and control equipment such as condensers, absorption and evaporation towers, pumps, valves, tanks, sulfonation plant, and centrifuges to effect required chemical or physical change on the production of liquid and powders detergents.Key Results:-Led the process cost reduction initiatives in the liquid process unit; instrumental in reducing operating production cost by 30%.-Performed the functions of troubleshooting and breakdown-preventive/corrective/ routine maintenance for reducing machinery downtime to a minimum-Proposed and installed 02 additional liquids packaging lines in the processing circuit to increase performance and capacity up to 25%.-Successfully implemented a Quality System Program in the organization and conducted regular QC meetings with the laboratory to ensure the wash performance of the detergents is well maintained with the soap and cosmetics standards.-Managed all functions within the manufacturing plant to include recruitment, benefits, payroll, training, employee relations, labor relations, risk management, safety, worker's compensation, unemployment, etc.

The company made and marketed a variety of powder and liquid laundry detergents such as Topaz, Amigo Limon, Opal, etc. As general manager, the main responsibilities included all plant operation; mixing, filling, production, maintenance, raw/packing materials, administration, improvements, expansion projects, and interfacing with sales/marketing to respond to the market demand. Also, ensure the manufacturing of laundry detergents, customer service, product design/development and related functions maintained and enhanced their positions relative to quality, productivity, cost containment and leadership in all operating areas. In the previous position, functioned as production and quality manager. Key Results:-Redesigned the layout of the quality and production organizationInstalled new plant quality specifications and modifying the old ones.-Training to technical and non-technical staff. Introduced quality control circle into the entire plant. -Managed quality assurance and adjust standards on quality water treatment, brix preparation, sanitation, microbiology testing to make concentrate batches larger than 25,000 pounds.
