  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives to reduce scrap, cycle time, consumables consumption, and material variation.

  • Apply statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis tools to monitor and improve process capability.

  • Conduct root cause analyses (RCA) using structured methodologies (e.g., 8D, Fishbone, FMEA) and implement corrective and preventive actions.



  • Work closely with vendors/suppliers and maintenance teams to specify, qualify, and optimize ceramic processing equipment.

  • Identify opportunities for automation and process digitalization.

  • Support commissioning, validation, and continuous improvement of new and existing equipment.
