Process Technician

Role Purpose

For an automated process, the technician must be able to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair the integrated process in the production system. He/she must understand the logical of programming and electronic systems, sensor, and feedback principles to operate robots / machines and resolve problems

Key Responsibilities

• Problem solving issues as efficient as possible to reduce downtime in automatic equipment.
• Document the maintenance and periods for each type.
• Lead Root Cause Analysis and work in process improvements to reduce defects (PPM’s).
• Analyze information and create reports to show trends about utilization and efficiency (TAU/OEE)
• Coordinates activities of support with the team, maintaining clear and open lines of communication with other support teams like Tooling, CNC Programming, Maintenance, Facilities, IT, Safety.
• 5S’s practices
• Understanding KPIV’s and KPOV’s for the process and the control in the process.
• Monitor KPIV’s and KPOV’s for the process and the control in the process.
• Identify risks in the area and escalate to take actions.
• Daily Gemba activity to identify process opportunities and complete actions.
• Implement process improvements to increase control level in equipment.
• Develop projects for cost reduction using Lean manufacturing methodologies/tools.
• Validate NPI in the process, considering safety, tooling, process capability.
