is the question that occupies our Improvement Engineering department on a daily basis. Voortman is growing rapidly and technological developments are also following each other at a rapid pace. Want to join our Improvement Engineering department?In the Improvement Engineering department, Production and Improvement Engineers work together on one goal: optimizing processes. Where the Production Engineers are mainly working on Research & Development and improving the daily processes, our Improvement Engineers focus on one or two large projects at the same time. Such as redesigning our assembly hall, so that our colleagues from Assembly & Production can work even more efficiently, which involves examining how the workstations can be better arranged. For example, flexible workstations ensure that any machine can be built at any location. As Improvement Engineer you work closely with the Purchasing , Logistics , Engineering and Project Preparation departments.Voortman is growing rapidly and technological developments are also following each other at a rapid pace. With every project, our Improvement Engineers use the same working method. Our Improvement Engineers do this by weighing which improvement project will yield the most profit in terms of time, money and quality. In that order the Improvement Engineers execute the projects, using a Lean working method.The Improvement Engineering department consists of young, driven colleagues who are determined to finish what they started. The team includes experienced colleagues, but there is always room for students doing an internship or working as a side job. IMPROVEMENT ENGINEERING: AN INDISPENSABLE ELEMENT IN OUR PROJECTSDue to the size of this immense project, the system was on forehand determined and designed based on real-time simulations.Derek Pierce, CEO van J&D Pierce, explains: ” I did expect quit a few glitches with the total automation and the load balancing and there were very few problems which I was incredibly impressed with. The facility is more than capable of doing way over 1.In the pursuit of efficiency, Cahill found himself on a quest for quality machinery to reduce man-hours and increase production capacity. With Voortman’s machinery, Cahill Structures has seen a significant reduction in man-hours by an average of 25 to 30% per ton. Cahill states, ‘ We can run both machines load and unload and start the steel with two people.’ The company now handles projects well in excess of £7 million, a far cry from their early days of £50,000 projects. ” The machine can do the work of five or six men running a day.”#
