• Monitor the production machine/equipment and condition, taking the necessary steps to adjust and fix mechanical problems to achieve and to improve targets and KPIs (safety, quality, delivery, cost).
• Analyze and resolve basic process and quality problems/breakdown performing root cause analysis using the problem-solving tools.
• Ensure accurate filling of Batch Record and Master Batch Record during the production.
• Document all production activities, controls, cleanings, maintenance, setting and adjustments with accuracy and integrity in the available documents and in accordance with the applicable procedures (e.g. logbooks, database, tracking file, etc.) to solve the quality and operational troubles to achieve/exceed the established targets.
• Ensure that the process and products meet the quality standards and take proper corrective actions if needed, to be in line with quality procedures and to achieve required specifications.
• Execute all activities related to machines starts/stops and blend/brand changes, preventive, planned, and reactive maintenance to ensure product integrity.
