Industrial Process Engineer: Drive Efficient, Quality Ops

The purpose of an Industrial Engineer is to analyse operations, design workflows and production processes that reduce inefficiency, and ensuring that final products meet the established quality standards.

The design and implementations of efficient processes and systems that maximize productivity, reduce wastefulness and production issues. Drive processes that are cost-efficient, high product and streamline operations across the supply chain.

• Operational
  • Reviewing production schedules, processes, specifications, and related information to obtain knowledge of manufacturing methods, procedures, and activities.
  • Designing production processes that maximize efficiency and reduce waste.
  • Developing and implementing process improvements and technological upgrades.
  • Designing control systems to minimize costs and production issues.
  • Design efficient operational layouts to minimize travel time and improve inventory management.
  • Optimize transportation routes to reduce fuel consumption, delivery time, and costs.
• Quality Control
  • Evaluate precision and accuracy of production and testing equipment and engineering drawings to formulate corrective action plan.
  • Analyse statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives of finished product.
• Personnel Management
  • Assess operations sequence, material flow, functional statements, organization charts, and project information to determine worker functions and responsibilities.
  • Training staff for new processes and providing instructions and manuals.
  • Direct workers engaged in product measurement, inspection, and testing activities to ensure quality control and reliability.
• Data Management
  • Formulate sampling procedures and designs and develop forms and instructions for recording, evaluating, and reporting quality and reliability data.
