Matthias B. leads maintenance, process improvement and investment projects in the Maintenance & CIP department. His job also involves process optimisation and supporting the introduction of new processes.
»What I like about my job at Kuraray is that there are so many varied and interesting tasks and challenges. I lead projects to simplify and improve workflows and production processes, which means I have to work closely with many different departments at my site. It is important to start by getting a precise overview of the many different requirements and then realise them step by step through the project.«
9 a.m.
I interview production workers to familiarise myself with their workflows and identify project requirements and expectations. Then I consult other departments affected by the project (e.g. Quality Control).
11 a.m.
I combine the findings in requirements profiles / specifications.
12 p.m.
Lunch break
1 p.m.
I hold an occupational safety training session for production employees working on Line 7 and make a record of this.
2 p.m.
Time for further documentation, for example of CE declarations of conformity. That means documenting CE marks which show that e.g. machinery meets EU health and safety regulations.

I call various suppliers, clarify details of offers and discuss modifications to them.

I phone colleagues in Frankfurt to discuss cross-site projects such as the introduction of maintenance planning software.

The working day ends
In addition to experience of working on projects and a knowledge of occupational safety, environmental safety and quality management, my job requires a good eye for innovations and optimisation.
