Work on initial studies for new process development and commercialization, conduct mass and energy balance
calculations and PFD (Process Flow Diagram), P&ID (Process Instrument Diagram) of the scale-up process,
involve in HAZOP(Hazard and Operation Analysis) study
Coordinate manufacturing, installation,and maintenance under cGMP and GLP, documentation of SOP (Standard
Operation Procedure), batch record, and project management, engaged in testing activities to ensure compliance
with specifications, codes, and customer requirements
Analyze samples by performing method development work on UV-vis, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC),
Mass Spec, HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) and GC (Gas Chromatography)
Lead Manufacturing Quality Associate at John B. Sanfillipo & Son (JBSS), Inc, Dec, 2013-Jun, 2014
Performed laboratory analyses on samples as required. Analysis includes visual, organoleptic, moisture & salt,
and Free Fatty Acid analysis
Complied with all safety and GMP, GLP rules, 5S requirements. Participated in continuous improvement (CI)
Programs for lean/Kaizen projects, used lean six sigma principles and skills to analyze the manufacturing process,
optimized production efficiency, reduced waste and cost
Engaged in manufacturing safety training (OSHA) and inspection programs, mainly joined in group brainstorming
process for manufacturing safety issue discussion, used root cause analysis method to work out the existing problem,
acted as Safety Committee Member at JBSS
