Hi, I’m João Nóbrega and I work at the ICL Brazil Sao Paulo (SJdC) site as a Production and Continuous Improvement Engineer.
I joined ICL in 2018 as an Engineering Intern, became a Production Analyst in 2019, and by 2020, I was a Production Engineer. In my role, I bridge the gap between production planning and the shop floor, ensuring alignment and efficiency in packaging and blending, as well as package development while collaborating with suppliers to innovate new specs.
As a Continuous Improvement Engineer, I lead our Operational Excellence program, working closely with supervisors and managers through best practices like 5S - Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu), and Sustain (Shitsuke), performance management, and standard work.
One of my proudest moments was during the Operational Excellence Americas Conference in 2023, where we presented our unique strategy for SJdC. Unlike other sites, we focus more complex techniques like Kaizen and standardization.
Outside of work, my hobbies have evolved. I enjoy playing offline management video games, like building a football team or creating a city. I also value spending time with friends and family. In the past, I was passionate about nature and landscape photography!”
