A Day in the Life: 

A typical day often includes collaborating with our manufacturing team to better understand day-to-day processes and roadblocks. The team then documents and creates opportunities for improvement and partners with supervisors & managers to ensure a smooth implementation process of these solutions. Workshopping ideas with other IEs at different plant locations is essential to ensure a companywide implementation success.

Typical tasks also include taking a lead role in project and process implementation across all plants, facilitating communication and task completion and serving as center point of communication across all manufacturing plants.

From an IE: Continuous improvement is a heavy focus and so there is an ability to get involved in tasks that range from small quick process improvements to larger company-wide projects that must be collaborated with directors. IEs often have ownership of a project from concept to sustainability and so it is easy to have a sense of pride and accountability in the work we do.
