I entered in one of the biggest beverage factories in Buenos Aires to review and update themicrobiological monitoring program. Producing 1st class drinks as Pepsi, 7-UP and Gatorade, I managedin a daily basis with not only quality international standards but also with the highest standardsregarding human safety, efficiency and environment among others. I led a team of 3 operators in thedaily lab tasks and was the responsible for the cleaning procedures for the plant partnering with externalsuppliers like Ecolab. Also participates in a regular basis in internal or external audits, new productlaunches, agile teams for efficiency improvements and cross-plants benchmark.Key Achievements:• I had 3 months in the company when COVID-19 pandemic reduced drastically the time in plantfor all the staff. As the production never stopped, I created a new schedule for sampling to ensurean efficient control with the resources we had at that time. It was really challenging, but theopportunity to have the time and the need to rethink the existing schedule allows me to focusthe resources in the hot spots at the facility. After a year off really hard work the microbiologicalKPI of the plant (which indicates the percentage of approved samples) increases from 40% to82%.• Taking the time that home-office work gave me, I created a new digital register to record all thelab results and other important information. The new methodology allows to review easily andfaster the trends in the different sampling sites or for the same sampling point in different tanks,compare results for raw material suppliers, evaluate tank duration for liquids, and take furtheractions in a more efficient way creating and historical data base as support.• During the introduction of a new product to the company, I was responsible for the validationand implementation of new cleaning, processing and testing methods.
