Improvement Engineer

Overview:

- Improvement Engineers focus on improvement of asset utilization by using the asset utilization workflow. He/she has thorough process and product knowledge to be able to identify, validate and implement projects. Projects are usually production-related with a profitability goal (cost reduction; increase productivity, etc.). Projects can be short-term focused (e.g., why production was lost) but tend to be longer-term focused (refrigeration units have to be replaced due to new compliance; project related to gaps determined during internal/external audits like ISO 5001 or ISO 9001). Depending on the job level, the engineer is responsible for defining the scope and approach of the project, design and timing, impact and cost estimates, and finally the implementation and validation stage of the project. Improvement Engineers are the owners of the plant capital and the successful execution of the capital expense projects.
