Standardization of practices & BKMs in Process Areas
Lead global TPM core teams to address chronic issues, drive improvements & eliminate wastes. Manage closure of Area level alignment projects such as those identified by TPM Forums, GDM Repeats, copy smart exemptions from transfer and MAE prioritization to close gaps to defined standardization BKMs. Work closely with CPEE counterparts to define technical path to closure (aligned direction), and channel improvements and lessons learned into global area forums to decide on standards for deployment, implementation, and audit. Drive implementation plans (to schedule) for your process area/point of operation and define metrics to measure success and improvements in performance from the implementation. Create a library of area level BKMs for Equipment & Process Engineers to search for standards involving the setup of Equipment & associated processes. Report progress to closure and performance improvement to site and OCT leadership.

Total Productive Management (TPM)
Work with OCT TPM coordinator at your site to train, coach, mentor and prioritize work for your area TPM core teams. Participate in TPM Step certification of area core teams. Consolidate BKMs identified by TPM core teams in your area of responsibility monthly and collaborate with the area for review and implementation. Attend TPM Core/Steering team meetings as needed to introduce BKMs from other sites for alignment and coach on implementation requirements. Track/Drive TPM core team network alignment to workstation BKMs. Work with OCT TPM program managers to resolve misalignment and new solutions. Establish library of workstation level BKMs across the network that have been aligned and monitor and drive BKM alignment status for your assigned site/core teams.

SEAL System
BKM development, deployment & sustainment
Partner with customers and IT teams to develop systems that drive Evolving Rule and System Based Operation to improve organizational efficiency and performance (SEAL Standardized Systems)
