Poly-America , Grand Prairie, TX Sectional Supervisor
Production of plastic sheets through extrusion
Working with resin control systems to control flow from overhead silos
Process control through periodic monitoring of process temperature profile, pro
cess pressure with respect to pressure alarms set points, line speed adjustments
for different line cycle times and production rates, displays actual readings o
n process operations
Selecting Fas-winders, torque winders, Peco-winders downstream equipment, foldi
ng board configuration and CMD winders for different product types.
Quality control checks on final products through monitoring laboratory test res
ults of plastic flame test, dart test, carbon content test, opacity, visual die
lines and blisters on plastic.
Ensure the availability of equipment, supplies and general manufacturing resour
ces in line with changing production schedule
Evaluate line efficiency, productivity, defect, product flow optimization, line
balancing and metrics and measurement techniques.
Process capability index evaluation, process yield determination, process capab
ility studies, tolerance limits specifications, defect control, process variabil
ity reduction, new product development designs based on manufacturability.
Equipment replacement evaluation based on maintenance costs, defects and rework
costs.
Continuous process improvement based on simulated studies, facility layout deci
sions, work place designs, scheduling, internalization of change-over.
Plant capacity evaluation, workforce size determination, worker efficiency, man
/machine system, manual work and automated systems evaluation,
Personnel and machinery utilization determination through work sampling studies
and other work measurement techniques.
Process evaluation through method engineering principles of merging different w
orkstations, automating workstations and the use of buffers.
Project management of installation assignments using Microsoft project which he
lps in managing, defining and controlling scope, cost, and timing of projects, a
nd performs risk analysis using project management tools (e.g. work breakdown st
ructure, precedence network, resource allocation).
Information flow and errors of decision making.
Evaluate general Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering issues of the work en
vironment involving human safety, tool design, motion economy, work physiologica
l demand, work posture, load lifting principles, vibration, noise, temperature,
slip and fall, accident investigation, safety management bodies like OSHA, ISO,
NIOSH, EPA, operations, rules and regulations, multitasking assignments, interlo
cking systems, fail safe designs, load speed/speed load evaluation, stress/strai
n analysis, safety related illnesses reduction like tynosynovitis, bursitis, sta
nding and sitting tasks.
Engineering Economics concepts like time value of money, present value, net pre
sent value, Internal rate of return, discounted cash flow, terminal cash flow co
ncept, modified internal rate of return, real options to evaluate capital budget
ing decisions during considerations for the installation of new lines with fina
ncial calculator.
Design and evaluate value stream, including capability, capacity such as make/
buy decisions, supplier selection, supplier contract type, supplier relationship
, risk analysis,
dynamic pricing, differential pricing, revenue management, inventory policies, v
endor managed inventory, international supply chain issues and challen
ges, risk mitigation buffers.
Training of new Sectional Supervisors on the use of the enterprise resources (
AS400) for the daily production schedule, scrap level on different lines, produc
tion rate/cycle time of the different lines, product barcode type, entering of d
owntime, requesting of consumable materials from the tool crib and on the use of
Microsoft outlook for communication and daily report preparation.
Training of new Fork lift users on dynamic stability techniques and general saf
ety management.(motorized vehicle)
Training of machine operators and quality personnel on general process paramete
rs, resin/raw materials types, process settings for different product types, die
sizes, training machine operators on the different downstream equipment, packag
ing configurations and on the importance of the different Personal Protective Eq
uipment.
Organizing monthly safety meetings.
Scheduling and managing overtime, vacations of personal
About (6) workers report directly to me while (12-16) workers report indirectly
to me depending on product type. Poly-America is union free work environment
Preparations of performance appraisals/performance management.
