Executive Summary
Operations analyst with seven years in food manufacturing, five of them reporting overall equipment effectiveness and scrap for three packaging lines. Builds the daily numbers plant leadership argues over at the morning meeting, then goes to the line to find out why the number moved. Industrial engineering background.
Signature Achievements
- Rebuilt the downtime coding tree on three lines so operators stopped logging 41 percent of stops as other, which exposed a single filler changeover as the largest loss.
- Raised overall equipment effectiveness on the frozen entree line from 58 percent to 67 percent over nine months by ranking losses weekly for the improvement team.
- Cut annual scrap on the seasoning line by 310,000 dollars after showing that two of six recipes drove most of the giveaway.
- Replaced eleven hand built spreadsheets with one Power BI report the plant now opens at every shift handover, saving roughly six analyst hours a week.
- Found a 4 cent per case labor variance traced to unrecorded overtime on weekend sanitation and got the standard corrected.
