  • Directed a cross-functional operations team—including team supervisors, front-line personnel, and lead operators—while actively collaborating with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Maintenance teams to drive performance accountability, identify process inefficiencies, and implement value-added process optimization aligned with key operational metrics.
  • Drove cross-departmental performance optimization by leading improvement initiatives and managing end-to-end project lifecycles—from identifying opportunities to execution and post-implementation review—while leveraging key manufacturing metrics such as OEE, unplanned downtime, throughput, and waste to increase production capacity and reduce operational costs.
  • Spearheaded standardization efforts through the implementation of 'One Best Way' process frameworks to drive operational consistency and process control, while ensuring compliance with SOPs, GMP standards, and quality system requirements via visual management systems, layered process audits, and real-time performance dashboards to sustain product integrity and regulatory adherence.
  • Conducted structured root cause analysis (RCA) using tools such as the 5 Whys and Fishbone Diagrams, and implemented CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) to mitigate process deviations and recurring production issues.
