Ice Cream Process Engineer

About the Role

Process Engineers are required in our sites to support Manufacturing teams by focusing on technical elimination of losses and waste on the production line including, but not limited to, minor stoppage reduction, change over time reduction, elimination of RPM waste, and support of digital-related projects.

The Process Engineer role is critical to the development of our factories to World Class, which means zero defects, zero waste, and zero losses. He/She will apply the full range of Focused Improvement methods and tools to support losses identification and resolution (Safety, Quality, Business priority, and Cost Deployment). The Process Engineer will be accountable for process capability, product quality, and data build-up through the application of the Manufacturing Performance Model. He/She will drive loss elimination across the manufacturing pillar with a particular focus on major losses. The Process Engineer is responsible for the validation of all process improvements and establishing basic conditions on the line.

Pillar and process engineers will collaborate with the Customer Service and Agility team regarding O2O (Outbound Tier) and S&OP improvement (Advanced Tier). Process engineers can suggest automation solutions to extract certain losses or participate in factory automation projects if they have relevant expertise.

Responsibilities

• Eliminate Waste and Loss according to the ICMS prioritization process using BPCD, FI, AM, PM, MP, QM methodologies.
• Create Technical Standards to ensure process stability on the line.
• Run to Standard (R2S) implementation: Data collection and analysis, prioritization of losses, problem-solving, SMED, AM activities, definition and machine settings (Centerlines or Process parameters definition).
• Train line owners on technical standards and restoration of basic conditions (Stability sustainment).
• Identify and extend good practice to other lines.
• Provide inputs of EPM pillar MP data.
• Factory or CI improvement.
