- Managing cross-departmental communication on quality issues and resolution using root cause analysis techniques.
- Developed and maintained SOPs and process flow designs (PFDs) to enhance operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance (AS4146 Laundry Practice).
- Recommended and implemented process control systems to maximize production output and meet daily targets.
- Led several capital projects up to $400,000, from design to commissioning.
- Notable works include Workflow optimization: increase throughput at high quantity work station by double (to 4000pc/hr), improving bulk availability for depots stock.
- Driving throughput: resolved deviation (70 tonne/day) to meet target (80 tonne/day) production due to inconsistent drying via Pareto chart and lean six sigma methodologies without loss of quality and rework.
- New Geelong plant: initial layout via CAD drawings, drawings of utility lines, optimisation of underguarding costs (material vs length) and creating project plans for first stage of operations.
- Designing and integrating wastewater system to handle increased demand of wastewater from expansion in production.
- Supervised and plan facility cleaners schedule to keep common facilities clean.
