Further, the CI Process Engineer will be charged with using the appropriate problem-solving tools to identify the loss, solve for root cause, and eliminate the loss by implementing improvements and the appropriate standards, as well as lead traditional CI systems such as centerlines, clean inspect lubricate (CILs) standards, and defect handling.
