Tyler Buchholz

I graduated high school in June 2012. Enrolled at Edinboro University of PA and attended there for a half a semester majoring in Criminal Justice. I left Edinboro and got a temp job at Case Cutlery in Bradford in November 2012 and worked there until April of 2013 before I was laid off.

I started in an entry level role at Georgia-Pacific in June 2013 and I'm currently still employed there. Through the years I have learned new positions and moved up every chance I could. I was a Production Utility, then Board Line Operator, then Press Operator and now I'm a Production Supervisor. I started filling in as a backup supervisor in 2017 and accepted the job permanently in February 2020 and currently still in that role. My daily duties include overseeing the production of the facility from start to finish of the process. I oversee 15 team members on my crew. We spend a lot of time on how we can perform our daily tasks in a safe manner while being good stewards of the environment. I work a lot on my team's development and value creation. I work with them on meeting our goals each day along with working on their personal goals with learning new jobs, maximum compensation for value, and getting fulfillment from what they do every day.

Other tasks I participate in our analyzing daily production data. Are we meeting our goals? What can we do to make the business the most profitable? Working close with operators on energy and material use, where can we cut costs, managing our process to be the most profitable. I work closely with our Safety and Environmental coordinators to ensure that we're being compliant with our environmental regulations and performing tasks in a safe manner. I would perform safety trainings weekly with my crew on incidents that happened at other facilities across the company or educate them on an incident that we had. I was the Lockout Tagout coordinator and would write new lockout procedures when needed and audit the procedures we currently had in place to ensure we were doing the right thing. Along with that writing SOPs on some of the tasks needing performed with the lockout procedures attached. We have a program called TRAX that we document all safety and environmental incidents in. I would document the incident and then work with the Safety and Environmental coordinators and perform the root cause failure analysis portion of the report. We would identify what took place, what happened, and how it could be prevented from happening again.
