Mar 2019 - Present
Quality control technician in a plant manufacturing gypsum-based materials such as gypsum boards (Sheetrock), joint compound and cement-like powders. Performs analyzes and tests on raw materials, during production and finished products to ensure their compliance with established standards and specifications. Retain non-compliant materials and decide how to dispose of them. Several continuous improvement and root cause projects carried out and implementation of SOPs in the factory. • Communicate results to the departments in real time and in the form of reports to reduce non-conformities and intervene on the production floor when necessary (prevent rather than react) • Train other employees (technicians and foremen) to new analytical methods and devices • Make occupational health and safety a priority when working in an industrial environment • Perform microbiological quality tests of the joint compound over time • Carry out various continuous improvement projects in collaboration with the quality director • Followed the Value Stream Mapping and Process Mapping training given by the Mouvement Québécois de la Qualité • Follow-up of various training courses on LinkedIn Learning related to Lean and Six Sigma Show less
