Seasoned Maintenance and Operations leader with 18+ years of progressive experience in chemical manufacturing environments. She has a degree in Engineering from the University of Florida, is a Six Sigma Green Belt, and is PSM Certified.<\/strong> She is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She has an impressive track record in optimizing plant reliability and leading high-performing maintenance teams (10 direct, 22 indirect reports). Her expertise includes preventive maintenance strategy, mechanical integrity programs, SAP PM, asset life planning, and Process Safety Management (PSM). She is skilled at executing capital and turnaround projects with budgets ranging from $1.5MM to $10MM.<\/strong> She\u2019s led multiple successful turnarounds on time and within budget, while implementing lean and cost-saving initiatives. She led a 32-person maintenance team at Veolia North America, where she successfully managed four major plant turnarounds\u2014each completed on time and within a $7\u201310MM budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She drove substantial cost reductions, including $90K annually saved by identifying and implementing a more durable valve solution and $60K in chemical savings by optimizing furnace temperatures and reducing caustic usage. <\/strong>Her leadership improved uptime by 7%, boosted yield by 3%, and enhanced product quality<\/strong>. She developed and executed a critical spare parts strategy that cut plant downtime in half and led the implementation of SAP PM (S4-HANA) and a new work management process that eliminated firefighting and backlog. She also negotiated contracts that saved $40<\/strong>K and improved service levels. Elizabeth blends technical expertise, capital project execution, and team development\u2014making her a transformative asset for maintenance and operations leadership roles. She is a high-impact asset for any operation seeking stability, cost control, and continuous improvement. She is looking for a new opportunity to apply her significant maintenance and operations experience in the Baton Rouge-New Orleans area! Her impressive experience includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Used contracts and relationships to increase EBITDA
o Executed contract and won a 20-year contract for acid product and utilities
o Received an additional $300K in annual maintenance revenue
\u2022 Facilitate and coordinate daily and weekly planning and scheduling of activities, including preventative & predictive maintenance programs in SAP and inspection tracking tool.
o Identified a problem with valve replacement at a cost of $10k every 6 weeks.
o Upgraded with a new valve that only needed a replacement 1 time a year. Saving $90k
o Improved PM processes using data.
\u2022 Updated and justified critical spares that:
o Eliminated long lead times < 10 weeks o Improved maintenance team reaction times o Reduced plant downtimes \u2013 swap out of equipment with w\/spare ~ 6 hours feeds off\/feeds on vs. < 12 hours for repair of parts, alignments <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Identified critical acid circulation pumps o Piping spools \u2013 resulted in reduction in downtime 12 hours to ~4-6 hours \u2022 Effectively manage cost by reducing overtime, quality, production forecast, resources, & schedules as it pertains to Operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Reduced overtime by and saved $36k o Maintained shift management opportunities resulting in decreased overtime 13.5-15% <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Sustained operating the spent acid furnace process at 98 -101 gpm vs. 95 gpm <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Coordinated with Supply Chain & Logistics to set production goals and meet customer demands and order fulfillments through truck, rail, and barge <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o As a result, our delivery of production exceeded goals which allowed us to overproduce 4400 tons worth and additional $310k in sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Forecast planning w\/Logistics Manager & shipping specialist resulting in improved \u201cOn Time %\u201d > 90%
o Sustained 2 yrs of no Operator \u201cOut of spec. Shipments\u201d and CQSI\u2019s over 50% reduction from the previous year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
