A successful individual in this role will use tools such as process mapping, value stream mapping, 5 whys, fishbones, and apply a learning mindset to identify opportunities outside of cleaning practices to reduce CO % on the system.
• When not in changeover, the changeover specialist will be working to learn more about our equipment, how we currently clean it, and why we use the process we currently use. They’ll also be identifying opportunities for improvement and developing experiments for actual changeover time. During changeovers, they’ll be working with the team on the floor to execute experiments, agree on success, and following up immediately with process changes (as is reasonable and feasible). As you can probably guess, this person will have a highly flexible schedule to enable this work.

• Develop ways to clean easier via changes in equipment, process, or tools used
• Fully investigate capital opportunities and present to engineering
• Implement all other changes
• “Try it Out!” – assess the risk associated with your ideas, and experiment responsibly

Leverage an External Perspective

• Does another site with similar equipment clean better than us? Gather their best practices, but don’t remain limited to similar equipment! Explore other cleaning best practices.
• Think outside the box – how does your dentist clean your teeth? How does a carwash clean your vehicle? Ever watched a car detailing video on YouTube? What can we take from how cleaning is done elsewhere to implement safer, faster, and/or more effective cleaning HERE?

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree (Engineering/Technical preferred) w/ minimum 5 years of related manufacturing experience OR HS Diploma w/ minimum 10 years of related manufacturing experience
