  Process Engineer

  Led the design, planning, permitting, and installation of a 40,000 sqft walk-in cooler, meeting all critical deadlines and ensuring the facility was operational before critical seasonal production operations. Introduced a system of identifying KPIs and measuring production efficiency by taking data at critical production stations. Used established KPIs to drive analysis of production lines determining areas of inefficiency and changing production programming to increases output by decreasing downtime. Developed python program suite for predicting production and storage capacity 2 weeks in advance leveraging Scikit machine learning libraries Innovated method of generating automated supply credit requests for damaged product. Reports were automatically distributed to suppliers, significantly reducing processing labor while simultaneously greatly reducing costs absorbed due to damaged or defective products.Led the installation and integration of automatic label applicators with SATO printing engines. Led initiative for reducing labor costs by implementing automated palletizing equipment, reducing labor by 20% per production line.Responsible for the maintenance and repairs of production equipment Show less
