Dear friends,
I am planning to switch my jobs using AC 21 portability. My priority date is May 2003 (EB-2, India), 140 & 485 filed in Dec 04, 140 approved in Feb 05. The job title on LC application was process engineer. However, the LC approval says title as Industrial Engineer. I believe process engineer falls within title of industrial engineer as per Onet. My new job title is also process engineer. However, I am worried about the job duties clause. If you can spare time, I am listing job duties for both the jobs.
Job duties in Approved LC
· Evaluate engineering, technical and economic factors involved and design, develop and implement new high temperature materials such as ceramic fibers, insulating firebricks, castables and blanket products and manufacturing processes for new and existing products;
· Plan, manage and direct materials and technologies’ development projects and prepare detailed estimates of manpower, materials and services involved;
· Monitor manufacturing processes;
· Perform root cause analysis as needed;
· Recommend engineering and manufacturing options for attainment of design objectives of these products and manufacturing processes by applying knowledge of industrial engineering and technology, review plans for new products and factors such as strength, weight and cost;
· Submit material and manufacturing processes selection recommendations ensuring attainment of design objectives, with the view to fulfill product cost and performance standards.
Future Job (Responsibilities in Job Advertisement)
· Conduct process optimization investigations which rely on state of the art systems for data collection, control, and process modeling. Optimization activities focus on understanding the relationship between Critical to Quality product parameters and Key Process Variables (KPV's) by performaing Designed Experiements (DOE’s) and collecting both the key process and product data involved in the experiments. Once these relationships are establised, focus efforts on improving the Process Capability Index (Cpk) for these parameters.
· Monitor project assignment in process improvement and control.
· Investigagate quality complaints to determine root causes. Develop and implement corrective actions to eliminate root causes and to get back in control. Action plans must seek to obtain a Cpk of 1.33 for all established critical process variables in order to meet critical product characteristics.
· Lead process engineering team to establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) for assigned production operation and/or process.
· Advise and influence plant management on modifications to systems and procedures to improve process control or product characteristics in line with customer (internal or external) fitness-for-use.
· Advise and influence plant management on modifications to existing equipment that will improve the overall process efficiency (FPY) without sacrificing product characteristics (CTQ).
· Work with the Innovation and Commercialization (I&C) organization to translate critical product characteristics into critical process variable terms. Develop plans to get processes in control at a Cpk of 1.33.
· Perform DOE techniques on existing products or processes in order to improve product characteristics and process stability. Estimate costs for DOE's.
· Work with Platform Engineering, I&C, and Process Technology organizations for all new product development initiatives, including Design or Experiment (DOE) techniques.
· Coordinate Platform Engineering, Innovation and Commercialization (I&C), and the Process Techology, such as technical projects and the development of manufacturing specifications.
· Be familiar with new processes, process equipment, process control equipment and inspection and test methods.
· Establish and manage training programs associated with process control and operations. Train operating personnel on basic use of process operations and control using Statistical Process Control (SPC) and control charts.
· Follow company and plant policies and procedures.
· Ensure compliance with all safety procedures.
I understand, that this is a long description. If someone can please guide me with respect to AC 21 risks, I would appreciate it. Please note that my future employer is a subsidiary of fortune 100 company.
The bottom line question is, can I change jobs based on above description?
Thanks for all your time.
