Process Engineer - NZAS

Rio Tinto Alcan

Public Company; 10,001+ employees; AL; Mining & Metals industry

February 2011 – January 2012 (1 year)

- Co-creation of Software Solutions for Metal Scheduling.
This involved developing a deep understanding of the metal scheduling process in a pull casting / tapping environment. This was accomplished through the iterative process of interviewing the metal schedulers and developing concept drawings.

- Production vs Maintenance Visualization
Here I developed a macro enabled spreadsheet that took in the production schedule and provided easy methods of input for the maintenance schedule. With this information it highlighted where hard alloy changes were occurring and whether or not the planned maintenance / production combination was likely to cause unnecessary delays.

- Ingot Machine Upgrades
Here I was working with people from ODT, CSIRO and RTA PTC in Australia to prepare the ingot machines for and test new casting technology. (new casting wheel and moulds)
