WORK HISTORY

Anheuser-Busch, Houston Brewery, TX. USA Jan. 2017-Present

Operations Group Manager

Actively participate in the day-to-day operations, specifically daily tier process, EHS activities, MOC process change management, OEE analysis, and resolution of any gaps in performance

Track and monitor performance of process area and ensure the process is capable and can maintain its capabilities

Lead improvement projects and problem solving events to determine root causes for problems that occur and implement permanent long term solutions to resolve those problems

Monitor and improve manufacturing operations using Lean Six Sigma tools and methodology (design of experiments, statistical process control, lean management system, kaizens, DMAIC)

Utilized product and process understanding & optimization of the processes to improve overall product quality and productivity levels

Key Accomplishments:

Lead process improvement(to minimize line loss and process loss) and initiate change through use of VPO tools

Installed line modulation on all 5 can lines which save cost of energy usage by 70% and provide equipment reliability

Improved line start up using SOP and providing the right resources to prevent unforeseen events which cut down our start up time from 4hrs to 2.5hrs
