Lead Process Improvement Engineer – Nigeria, Ghana, Angola and Equatorial Guinea 06/2013 – date

•Provided project management and six-sigma expertise for process improvement projects in the business unit.

•Improved general plant efficiency by 2% over 6 months by introducing industrial management control systems (time and motion study, standards for process cycle time and machine utilization, 5S, Process flow, etc.).

•Reduced machine setup time by 50% by implementing single minute exchange of dye (SMED).

•Reduced total cost of consumables by 23% by negotiating prices, substituting materials and vendors, implementing consumption rates standards and monitoring expenses.

•Reduced labor cost by 6% by introducing flexible man-hour schedules.

•Reduced liquid hazardous waste generation by 40% by introducing waste treatment and recycling.

•Created operating manuals and internal work instructions for process repeatability and stability.

•Investigate equipment failures for root-causes and mapping out prevention plans.

•Contributed to zero lost time injury (LTI) over 761 days by performing weekly internal HSE inspections according to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.

•Prepared budget for variable cost, headcount and standards for key performance indicators in line with the commercial forecast for next budget year.

•Compiled production work order, allocated cost to sales orders and performed stock management using SAP ER.
