  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I work in the Continuous Improvement team. We look at the data concerning machine downtime and waste, and identify improvements to rectify them. We have to work out the cost of the improvement vs the saving, to see if the corrective work is viable before proceeding.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have definitely developed my existing skills, with a few new techniques for identifying issues. I have also mentored a team of apprentices new to the process, and enjoyed seeing them learn and identify / rectify issues of their own.

  • It can be difficult at times to get the time to do project work, especially for the guys that i am mentoring, but we are making good progress. We all have jobs to do, and it can be understandably tricky at times to get time for projects. Apart from that, the company is very supportive.
