In his role as Plant Operations Manager, Eduardo is accountable for a wide range of operations, including implementation of training, plant facilities maintenance, safety program compliance, innovation projects management, plant budget and cost effectiveness and compliance to internal and external quality regulatory audits.

 

As such, Eduardo is instrumental in the training and development of all stakeholders responsible for plant operations especially the reduction of equipment changeover times, simplifying documentation processes, safety and performance management courses. In summer 2016 he spearheaded the implementation of a Manufacturing Essentials training program that focused on team-led projects to solve actual challenges on the manufacturing floor and included embedded essential skills training as part of the process. The project resulted in strengthened employee engagement, strong solutions-focused recommendations to management to solve identified challenges, and improved essential skills, such as working together, problem solving, and continuous learning.

 

Eduardo recognizes that training and the development of essential skills are critical to supporting formal process changes, driving LEAN enterprise and creating a winning business culture. In Eduardo’s experience strengthening employees’ essential skills has led to positive change, employee empowerment, capable self-managing teams, proactive quality assurance and error prevention.
