These projects focused on a critical production area, focusing on decreasing scrap, run times, and overall downtime.Collaborated with production operators to receive input about current process issues. This input was then confirmed by analyzing production data. Improvements were made by considering both of these perspectives.Developed a startup procedure tracking system in Microsoft Sharepoint in order to allow for more data to be collected about startup times and conditions. The system allowed for anybody to see current status of startup at beginning of each shift and identify possible issues. Trained approximately 40 production operators in the use of this new system.
