Targeted use of the Lean Six Sigma methodology and tools
A process engineer designs, oversees, assesses, and implements processes that efficiently make products or provide services. The goal of a process engineer is to create systems that make the best use of workers, machines, materials, information, and energy. Process engineers design processes for use in a wide array of industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceutical, petroleum, and biotechnology. They review production schedules, design specifications, workflows, and other information to understand and adjust their company’s processes to make them more efficient.
Because workers are an essential part of many of the systems a process engineer designs, high-level interpersonal communication skills are vital in this role, in addition to skills and experience in engineering. Planning and analytical thinking are also crucial parts of being a process engineer. This position combines skill sets from several different jobs, including supply chain management, project management, and quality assurance.
