    Owning the secondary glycol production program, four lines and nine zones, around 10 units a week, working alongside a great group of production leads, operators, and the quality and planning teams who really make it run. Most of the work happened on the floor: time studies, takt, line balancing, and kanban, applying Lean and Six Sigma to help take out a little waste where possible. Also contributed a few small tools to make things easier, like a 6S audit app that the IT team kindly adopted and a BOM cleanup automation.
