Operated all equipment throughout manufacturing process to back-fill. Maintained and enforced a safe and clean working environment at all times. Cleaned, wrapped, and labeled outgoing orders as well as counted and verified orders picked to ensure accuracy. Handled end-processing of customer orders I operated automated and semi-automated filling, capping, and labeling equipment to produce reagents and kits used by research and clinical testing laboratories throughout the world. My work ranged from large scale bulk pumping and transfer to small scale bench top filling with a pipette. Many of the products will require filtration and aseptic handling techniques. I utilize protective equipment to handle hazardous and non-hazardous liquids and powders safely. Lean Manufacturing and 5S was my guide and daily activities. I accurately document the work in accordance with FDA, ISO, and GMP requirements. In addition to the day to day production, I developed and implement process improvements to enhance safety, quality, and efficiency.
