Pros
Making Medical Devices that save lives. Work with some good Engineers and Manufacturing Techs, and Quality Techs. Also cannot say enough good things about the Production Operators
Cons
Management, really needs to work on better communications, accountability and responsibility. Spare parts inventory in a ROP and 5S system, so maintenance techs do not have to go on a "treasure hunt" and try to find "clues" for needed parts for downed stations and production lines. I cannot understand why current management wants to have closed communications with process side/production operations. In the 6 years I have been in maintenance I have always been able to communicate with others through email, teams, and in person about production line/station issues to resolve problems for the different projects, manufacturing and product development. One more thing, very big problem with having tools for maint. techs and no regard or accountability and responsibility to put tools back in their place no 5S just a random free for all. One more last thing, to summarize Cons, maintenance manager recently told me the above will be worse before it gets better. In the last 8 months and the start of this year, that statement is very true.
