  Highlights & Achievements• Reduced cost of packaging by switching to a thinner material that would still hold the pizza effectively but was easier to work with and seal.I was able to speed up the sealing process and cut cost by 0.10c per package.• Reduced wastage by changing the process of applying toppings to pizzas.• Streamlined staff start times to minimise time spent doing unnecessary jobs. Pizza production begins an hour before packaging begins. I shifted the start time of the packaging staff by an hour, so their time was spent more efficiently.Changed all pizza ingredients to GMO-free ingredients and developed a new product range which was submitted to Farro New Zealand.In this role, my responsibilities include:• Managing up to 22 staff members across two shifts, with three direct reports• Responsible for the overall direction, coordination & evaluation of the departmentPrepare operational schedules and coordinate manufacturing activities to ensure production processes and quality of products meet specifications• Review production and operations reports to resolve any operational, manufacturing and maintenance problemsDriving continuous improvement initiatives throughout the value stream• Ensure optimum utilisation and performance of machinery and labour resources while meeting standards compliance• Lead team in safety training and discussions of department agendas• Carry out recruitment, onboarding and training of new staff members; resolve staff grievances Show less
