Process engineer

GENERAL MISSION

The Process Engineer will be in charge of monitoring and optimising the production processes of the IC and EWH line to achieve our objectives of Security, Quality, Production, and Customer Satisfaction. It will therefore be process/ product referent of a sector integrating processes of IC and boiler making, Chemical degreasing, drying, enamelling and finishing (pentane injection).

Monitor the performance indicators and transfer knowledge to production teams in respect of our industrial principles and rules.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT

• Detect problems & possible improvements on the processes
• Daily monitoring of product/process issues:
• Monitor and resolve drifts generating inefficiencies (recoveries, scrap, etc.).
• Spend time in the workshop with production, quality & maintenance teams in order to see where the process can be improved
• Analyse breakdowns and quality crisis
• Analyse the causes of malfunctions identified on the equipment and implement the necessary corrective actions. Seek the relevant parameters. Measure the effectiveness of the actions undertaken and ensure the sustainability of what is put in place
• Follow & monitor the indicators => defect rate; scrap rate; raw material consumptions and see where are the weak points

• Reliability of Processes & Validation of Product / Process developments:
• Manage the transversal actions (quality, maintenance, industrialization, BE, etc.) for technical subjects.
• Measure the capabilities of existing processes and implement the actions necessary to improve or evolve them in relation to product changes.
• Take the initiative to look for cost reduction possibilities for consumables, raw materials and energy
• Make trials in the workshop (different changes in parameters of machines etc.
• Build trial plan

• Choose solution and put it in place
• Research and Sharing of Good Practices:
• Analyse results of trial plan and choose the appropriate solution for new process.
• Validate solution with production, maintenance, industrialisation, R&D teams and present to management
• Put the solution in place within the workshop with appropriated support teams (maintenance, industrialisation, etc.)

• Act as Process expert for the projects of new line and/or new products
• Represent Process department,
• Alert other teams on Process issues;
• Give feedback and contribute to projects

• Transfer knowledge by training production teams on the processes and help them to improve themselves.
• Participate in the development of production standards (including operating procedures).
• Work hand in hand with production team in order to reach continuous improvement.

EXPECTED RESULTS

• Monitoring and improvement of Key Indicators :
• Decrease of defect rate
• Decrease of scraps
• Improvement of the quantity of raw material savings
• Validation of initials parameters as reference

• Being able to work as a team player : good communication with different departments (production, maintenance, quality and industrialisation teams) in order to disturb production as least as possible

• Use of suitable methodology WEGA tools to achieve targets

AUTONOMY OF THE POSITION

• Decisions that can be made by the employee (in a pre-defined environment)
• Organisation of trials and meetings with production, quality & maintenance, R&D teams in order to see where the process can be improved,
• Make different changes in parameters of machines after communication with other managers
• Take the necessary decisions in case of problem appearance (quality, breakdowns, etc.) by asking the appropriate actors (and give feedback to General Manager afterwards)

SCOPE OF THE POSITION

• Managed employees (number and level of managed employees / or assigned jobs to this position)
