• Analyze yield, DPPM, leakage and thermal/flow data using 8D, A3, 5Why, Ishikawa and other tools.
• Automate data flow from MES/ERP, build dashboards and alerts, and publish procedures and one-point lessons.
• Train operators and technicians, and partner with EHS and Quality Systems on SOPs for leak mitigation, coolant handling and chemical safety.
