Incumbents in this classification studies and records the time, motion, method, and speed involved in performance of production, maintenance, and other worker operations for such purposes as establishing standard production rates or improving efficiency.

The Role:

(The following duties are typical for this classification. However, any one position may not include all the duties listed, nor do the examples cover all the duties which may be performed.)

Performs process designs by developing preliminary process flow diagrams and provides performance estimates for client requested studies and/or budgetary proposals.
Performs the conceptual process design to provide a complete unit that meets the customer’s stated needs and product specifications.
Makes computer-based process simulation calculations and/or perform hand calculations for process analysis and continuous improvement.
Selects or participates in the selection of proper materials of construction for major equipment and components.
Develops/Prepares process data sheets for major equipment.
Provides process engineering tasks as required to ensure a project is executed cost effectively and passes the required performance test.
Controls and maintains the process flow diagram throughout the project.
Reviews designated major equipment documents received from the selected vendor prior to purchase as needed.
Participates in plant process audits, “run it” rates and reviews.
Observes workers operating equipment or performing tasks to determine time involved and fatigue rate, using timing devices.
Prepares charts, graphs, and diagrams to illustrate workflow, routing, floor layouts, material handling, and machine utilization.
Studies time, motion, methods, and speed involved in maintenance, production, and other operations to establish standard production rate and improve efficiency.
Recommends revision to methods of operation, material handling, equipment layout, or other changes to increase production or improve standards.
Records test data, applying statistical quality control procedures.
Observes workers using equipment to verify that equipment is being operated and maintain to gauge possible process and ergonomic improvement.
Recommends modifications to existing quality or production standards to achieve optimum quality within limits of equipment capability.
Evaluates data and write reports to validate or indicate deviations from existing standards.
Utilizes computer software programs such as Microsoft Office to complete data analysis and problem solving.
Interprets engineering drawings, schematic diagrams, or formulas and confer with management or engineering staff to determine quality and reliability standards.
Reviews project engineering documentation and specification sheets to ensure that products are built according to proper requirements.
Analyzes and initiates adjustments and methods for manufacturing process, equipment, testing, and materials.
Initiates ongoing process/product quality improvements.
Troubleshoots problems and develops root cause and corrective actions.
Plans and conducts manufacturing training sessions on production for dimensions, uniformity, and function on new production equipment, processes, and assembly components.

Contributes to relevant design / development processes and reviews as appropriate.
Generates internal and external documentation for products, presentations, and technical reports
Generates and maintains standards for all operations, reports on efficiency and utilization based on standards.
Supports the plant team in tracking and understanding Key Performance Indicators such as percentage of non-value-added work.
Responsible for production/process systems improvements and reliability, improving system unit operations through the development, testing, and implementation of new technology and overseeing line production operations.
Leads and conducts process experiments as well as documenting and communicating key process learning's.
Provides technical guidance to the plant in terms of process and or equipment troubleshooting
Provides problem solving when / where needed within the key process areas.
Participates in pilot plant testing with product development team pilot plant team
Provides continued long-term support to the product development team
