Ensure production targets (volume, yield, uptime, cost per unit) are achieved while maintaining food-grade quality standards.
Develop, implement, and continuously improve SOPs for extrusion and downstream operations.

2. OEE & Performance Management

Develop, monitor, and continuously improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE – Availability, Performance, Quality).

Ensure strict adherence to PM schedules to reduce unplanned downtime.
Lead maintenance budgeting, spare parts planning, and asset lifecycle management.
Oversee machine guarding, lockout/tagout compliance, and equipment safety audits.
Lead evaluation and execution of capital expenditure projects, equipment upgrades, and process automation initiatives.

4. Quality & Sustainability

Ensure finished goods consistently meet internal and customer specifications for dimensions, strength, clarity, and multi-color printing (1–8 color capability).
Collaborate with Engineering, Sales, and Supply Chain on new product introductions and process optimization.
Lead sustainability initiatives focused on:
Waste reduction
Scrap control
Energy efficiency
Responsible material utilization

5. Health, Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Ensure full compliance with the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and all applicable Canadian regulations.
Maintain high safety standards including machine guarding, LOTO compliance, and internal safety audits.

Build strong technical capability within the plant through structured training and mentorship.
Drive performance management, workforce engagement, and succession planning.
Act as a key member of the senior leadership team contributing to long-term strategic planning.

7. Financial & Strategic Accountability

Monitor actual vs. budget performance and implement corrective actions.
Drive cost-reduction initiatives while maintaining product quality and service levels.
Provide structured performance reporting to executive leadership.
