## Job description

Problem Solving & Loss Elimination Train and coach Operators, Team Leaders, and Maintenance on the KHMS Problem Solving Chapter and the escalation process. Define 5W-1H triggers based on Performance Board downtime (e.g., three consecutive hours "red" for the same reason triggers a 5W-1H) and drive use of 5Why, troubleshooting guides, and related tools. Continuously review and update KHMS standards, implementing countermeasures (CILs, Centerlines, etc.) to eliminate losses and monitor compliance.

Establish shiftly 5S evaluation checks, weekly Trio/Team Leader audits, and 5S compliance tracking within the Level 1 and Daily Performance Meeting (DPM/POWR Board). Support CIL (Clean, Inspect, Lube), Centerline, Defect Handling, and Breakdown Elimination routines, including health checks, and use top-loss analysis from Operational/Daily Performance Meetings to prioritize activities. Contribute to the Daily Performance Meeting by supporting identification of root causes of top losses and driving systemic fixes and standard updates.

Provide feedback and retrain the appropriate groups (Operators, Maintenance, Team Leaders) on updated standards, building autonomous ownership of KPIs and improvements at the process-area level. Works cross-functionally with the entire plant — CI Manager, Plant Manager, Trios, Functional Managers, Plant/Line 5S Champions, Team Leaders, Operators, and Maintenance Technicians.
