Update EHS Risk analysis for departments. Upgrade Machine guarding in Fabrication. Include EHS changes in Future state VSM. Identify and Direct Lean EHS Project. See attachment for more details Champion multi-disciplinary teams in activities related to manufacturing issues Lead, facilitate and coordinate production activities and resources according to established proactive and/or policies within their job area to ensure the timely delivery or quality parts that meet or exceed customer expectations. Define SPC control chart to control process for operation required. Apply corrective actions plan for Non-conformances detected in SPC data. Monitor SPC data capability and define actions to keep control of the process. Although the organization was able to provide support that all SPQs for administrative positions have included the roles and responsibilities for CI there was evidence that just some of the shop floor specific positions and manufacturing support functions clearly specify CI roles and responsibilities, the plant must ensure that 100% of the positions include the CI roles and responsibilities and define the best way to communicate on regular basis to the related personnel so this enables the organization additional attention and involvement to support to the CI initiatives.
