Objectives:
- Developing, optimizing, and improving manufacturing processes to enhance productivity, quality and safety.
- Identifying and implementing process improvements to reduce costs, minimize waste and increase efficiency.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth integration of new processes, technologies and equipment.
- Monitoring and analyzing process data, identifying trends and proposing solutions for process improvement continuously.
- Performing process capability studies, statistical analysis and data-driven decision-making to achieve operational excellence and meet production targets.
- Ensuring compliance with safety, environmental and regulatory requirements in all process engineering activities.
Main duties:
1.SOP Adaptation & Issuance Capability:
- Ability to convert R&D processes into feasible, clear, and repeatable production SOPs.
- Competent in adjusting: Raw material charging sequence, Mixing time, Agitation speed, Operating temperature
- Experience in drafting SOPs that are practical, unambiguous, and operator friendly.
- Good knowledge of GMP / ISO / ISO 22716.
- Able to collaborate with QA to officially issue and control SOPs.
2.Problem-Solving & Process Troubleshooting:
- Optimize existing processes to reduce cost and improve quality.
- Implement process control systems, monitor performance, and identify areas for improvement using data analysis – Incomplete dissolution/ Lumping/Phase separation/Incorrect viscosity/Poor Homogeneity
- Conduct risk assessments, ensure compliance with Health, safety and environment regulations, implement mitigation strategies
- Maintain Process documentation – SOP’s, PFD’s and PID’s
3.Cross-Functional Communication:
- Work with cross functional teams , R&D/Production/QA/QC, provide technical support and train staff on new processes and equipment,
- Effective collaboration with: R&D – to understand formulation intent, Production – to work within equipment limitations, QA/QC – to ensure compliance.
- Able to communicate clearly, technically, and assertively.
