Greenfield pet food factory design

• Generates, evaluates, and implements ideas to improve safety, quality, and production using LEAN methods.•Developed GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant designs for changes to sanitary systems including valve selection, line sizing, material selection and pipe routing.•Performed lockouts, supervised contractors during mechanical and electrical work, and was responsible/accountable for the safety performance of the crews.•Owner of MOC (Management of Change) documentation for liquid making and utilities departments.•Defined controls logic including set points, deadbands, electronic work instructions, alarms, and timers to improve process efficiency and increase reliability of the process equipment. •Performed DOE (Design of Experiment) trials to validate CIP (Clean in Place) procedures.•Managed CERs (Capital Expenditure Requests) from scope through implementation and closure.•Established new SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and trained operations staff on new equipment.•Commissioned new equipment including IQ/OQ/PQ. Performed plant trials on new systems.• Instituted a process improvement database for the department that encompasses operator feedback, off-spec product corrective actions and benefit/effort evaluation scale. •Participated in team that created new P&IDs for entire plant.

• Six Sigma Green Belt certified. Facilitated Kaizen events, performed DOE (Design of Experiment) trials to evaluate paper machine operation strategies. Implemented centerlines for paper machine operation. • Employed statistical methods to make data-based decisions and determine solutions to production and quality issues. • Served as backup for Operations Maintenance Coordinator. Created SAP work notifications and led Manufacturing Work System (MWS) meetings with maintenance planners to schedule jobs. • Supported incident-free paper machine caustic cleanings as Chemical Coordinator. Communicated hazards to team members, coordinated chemical addition and progress with chemical vendor.• Owner of basic care equipment inspection program. Created inspection schedules and inspection criteria.• Lead implementation of Braincube data analysis program for mill. Designed structured database, compiled history, created dashboards for paper machine.Skilled in PI ProcessBook, SAP and Minitab

Completed 5 co-op terms between 2014 and 2016• Created prediction tool to estimate furnace duty based on relationship between individual tower duties and distillation tower process variables. Tool allowed process engineer and refinery planners to optimize furnace operation and production while complying with EPA duty limit.• Conducted pressure survey of alkylation unit feed lines to validate Aspen HYSYS process model and investigate source of bottleneck.

• Prepared taste tests and analyzed coffee samples for KPI’s including density, color, and particle size.• Compiled data, performed statistical analysis and managed sample inventories.
