Process Improvement Manager

Plainsboro, NJ, US

On-Site

M14

As a Process Improvement Manager, you will have the overall responsibility for capability building and training on predefined standards regarding a predefined methodology and its tools, as well as the integrity (audits) of this initial post-implementation methodology. In a nutshell, this role owns the implementation of a new process standard (inputs/outputs/action plans), proves the result through a pilot (one methodology, one area, one period of time) then hands over the results to the area owner (i.e training package, methodology, tools).

At dsm-firmenich people are at the heart of the company. We are committed to equal employment opportunities and value diversity in the workplace.

Your key responsibilities

  • Lead pilot projects (1 to 3 months) with cross-functional team as proof of concepts using methodologies such as but not limited to SMED, MOAT, OEE, HOSHIN, and WPI; delivering results and handing over to the area owner after results are achieved (training package, visual management, routines, and KPIs);
  • Be able to conduct site-level workshops or influence area owners alongside controlling to identify loss opportunities and follow up on results and action plans at least monthly as a "focused improvement" team leader.
  • Demonstrated ability to address process failures – investigations, action plans deploying with productions teams (operational deviations or lack of standards that lead to long unplanned downtimes).
  • Demonstrated ability to address and optimize planned stops using specific tools and methodologies – planned maintenance, changeovers, startups and shutdowns, and raw material loading/unloading.
  • Demonstrated ability to address and lead a cross-functional team to address quality deviations (assess standards/create standards/review standards/deploy standards).

We bring

  • A culture that prioritizes safety and well-being, both physically and mentally.
  • The opportunity to work for a company where sustainability is much more than a claim and is core to our strategy and purpose.
  • Barrier-free communities within our organization where every employee is equally valued and respected – regardless of their background, beliefs, or identity.
  • A firm belief that working together with our customers is the key to achieving great things.
  • An eagerness to be one team and learn from each other to bring progress to life and create a better future.
  • We offer competitive pay, career growth opportunities, and outstanding benefit programs

You bring

  • At least one past proven operations experience as a people leader/manager (line manager, supervisor, coordinator) using and applying methodologies to improve results.
  • At least three success cases related to methodologies implementation as a pilot or two as a client/rollout (Lean, TPM, IWS, or others).
  • Imperative academic background (bachelor's degree): chemistry or engineering and L6S / TPM courses desirable.
