  • Support process technology engineers in resolving any catalysts and absorbents performance gaps and implementation of optimization initiatives.
  • Conduct yearly benchmarking workshops with participating Global Manufacturing facilities to highlight the year-round performances, share best practices, agree on catalyst optimization and profitability targets, and recognize facility best performers.
  • Maintain an inventory of Global Manufacturing catalysts and absorbents detailing the technology providers, quantity, next loading forecasts, etc.
  • Support and facilitate potential similar catalysts inventory exchange/synergy among Global Manufacturing facilities. Develop and/or support needed contractual agreements, as needed.
