About The Position

This role is responsible for maintaining and driving good housekeeping and 5S practices, possessing deep knowledge of product profiles, including different types of plastic and colors for compatibility to meet approved quality standards. The specialist will maintain Regrind product and flake inventory levels, help lead and drive scrap segregation, and reduce waste by ensuring product is saved for Regrind. They will consult the Help Chain with quality issues, lead, run, and post daily metrics for regrind utilization, and own a complex regrind process for maximum utilization of product. Communication of issues through the help chain is crucial to drive process compliance.

The role involves responding to process breakdowns, quality problems, and logistic problems, following the help chain when unable to resolve problems within a predetermined timeframe, and identifying and recording problems on problem-solving boards. Necessary adjustments and minor repairs to manufacturing and auxiliary equipment, including a high understanding of material blenders and all regrinders, must be made. Accurate record-keeping, such as scrap/hold labels, shift production summaries, Gaylord labels, and Regrind closure and flake inventory, is required. Providing appropriate communications and feedback to other RPS, support personnel, maintenance, process specialists, and supervisors is essential. Creating, maintaining, and improving standardized work practices, supporting productivity improvements by team members, and assisting in mistake-proofing and innovation are key functions. Identifying improvements to eliminate waste and support daily, weekly, and monthly regrind cost savings objectives is expected. Maintaining and suggesting improvements to housekeeping and 5S systems, and training other Regrind team members and RPS’s on the job are also part of the responsibilities.
