Business Need/Purpose of the Role: Ensure production & changeovers, and optimise performance results (i.e safety, quality and output) on several state-of-the-art manufacturing IS machines, from feeder to lehr exit
Key Responsibilities and Specific Accountabilities: (results this role is expected to accomplish)
 Get involved in product changeovers so to bring help and expertise to maximise quality and ramp-up performance. Is able to restart or even fully start-up new productions on his own.
 HESE position describes to ensure the good operational performance of two lines. In addition to that he has to cross check line performance with random sampling and also at least two full sampling per machine need to perform during his daily shift works. Depending on the machine condition and requirement need to increase the sampling.
 Optimise production with :
 Tracking of operating standards on key manufacturing parameters: forehearth temperature regulation and feeder mechanisms (gob shape), IS Timer settings, equipments moves, lehr infeed setting, hot end surface treatment…
 Tracking quality and performance losses and making immediate necessary steps for improvement.
 Supervision of IS operators job, and hand-on support with a technical bias for problem solving.
 Ensure quick but safe and qualitative-first restart of equipments after a machine breakdown. If not able to lead quick repair, ensure communication with SMEs (IS workshop leader, feederman,…) through efficient alert given to shift / team leader.
 Look forward preventing machine equipments damage. Keep them in good condition through IS sections gentle moves (servo and cylinder cushions setting).
 Supervise IS operators work, especially concerning hot end quality checks. Ensure awareness of specifications form for each manufactured article on shift, and perform random checks by himself to prevent excesses.
 Ensure relevant swabbing : check grease good usage by IS operators, without waste or losses, check grease reference is the one required, check IS operators respect instructions and soiled bottles ejection.
 Ensure finished products top level quality through efficient communication with cold end sorters whenever machine events create defects. Strictly respects quality defined procedures.
 Get involved in production management routines: be able to explain past and coming events, know results and required actions and priorities, and be able to propose and perform solutions.
 At the end of his shift, prepare a detailed report and handover to coming team all required information for production.
 Ensure that standard set-up check list is available.
 Is able to train new or inexperienced staff for IS machine operation.
 Emergencies to handle properly during energy failures including hot end scrapper.
