What I did: Conduct coefficient of friction tests to assist in an ongoing investigation regarding a high-risk customer complaint. Collection and recording of data into a format that allowed for easy analysis and viewing. Check production schedule daily to ensure any orders for high-risk customers were marked for audit. Daily production schedule check to ensure there were no high-risk orders or materials running to notify production supervisors of. Daily check of holds that occurred during the previous day/evening. Inspection of materials put on hold. Disposition of materials that were did not meet quality control standards. Ensuring all new materials and technical specifications for those materials were input into the processing software used by the company. Monitoring and updating trainings to comply with changing OSHA and company standards/timelines. Performing food defense audits on different departments around the plant. Performing food safety audits and collecting samples for testing. Ensuring the inventory that was in the database matched the inventory that was on the production floor and in the quality control area. Communicating with supervisors to schedule testing that required the help of the production floor. Examining and inspecting product as it was run on different machines on the production floor with engineering and technical staff to find root cause and report back to the customer. Schedule and lead meetings to discuss any major findings or to determine “next-step” actions. Lead the quality portion of two daily quality meetings for the Blown Film department and report any findings or upcoming events. Collaborate with supervisors and engineers to work around quality concerns of raw materials used in production What I liked: I liked the variety of the work that I was doing. Every day was different. I had my “everyday” tasks, but after about 8:00AM, every single day took a different path. I also enjoyed having the freedom to work when I wanted and being allowed to travel to other plants to tour them and to gain insights on their process and how I could use them for projects I was working on. Future Dream Job: My future dream job is to be a project manager, quality manager or production manager; all at a manufacturing facility. Long-term, I would like to become a plant manager at a manufacturing facility.
