HMENTS

- Through the implementation of better communication and cooperation strategies, which bolstered teamwork, I was able to enhance employee retention from 85% to 92%.

- By conducting weekly discussions and Gemba walks with my team, I was able to improve safety. This initiative has resulted in increased employee engagement in safety and a better safety culture, which reduced lost time accidents by 40% over six months.

- To improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by approx. 80%, I created standard operating procedures (SOPs) for operators and shift start-ups, cross-trained employees, and promoted communication and teamwork.

- Through the implementation of cleaning protocols, conducting quick 10-minute shines, providing refresher training for operators, and cultivating positive relationships with technicians, I was able to reduce the mean time between failures (MTBF) thus far to 50%.
