Coordinated the conversion of mixer-bottle SKUs to a 28 mm PCO finish, protecting packaged-product continuity.
Protected packaged product continuity for mixer bottle SKUs, supporting the ability to maintain $2M in sales and 30,000 cases.
Engineering scope: Bottle mold sourcing and lead time management, change-part engineering for bottle handling and neck support, capper and closure change-part coordination, packaging line changeover planning.
Supported continuity of approximately $2.0M in sales and 30,000 cases. The continuity result belongs to the mixer-bottle conversion.

Food and Beverage Manufacturer
Owned the full project lifecycle, from capital planning through commissioning and post-startup support. A supplier-driven bottle change affected more than the container itself.

Full lifecycle project ownership
Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.
Project coordination
Project coordination
Procurement and R&D were assigned bottle-format supply and change-part planning; Operations and maintenance were named for commissioning, testing and training coordination.
Project coordination
Project coordination
Packaging supplier was named in commissioning-party coordination for the bottle conversion.
The 28 mm PCO bottle-conversion AFE calls for commissioning-party coordination with packaging supplier, downtime scheduling with plant management and engineering, and operator/maintenance participation in commissioning, testing and training.
Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.
Managed mold sourcing and lead times, aligned the change parts with the 28 mm finish, and planned changeover readiness across procurement, product development and operations. The project connected packaging availability with the physical interfaces needed to run the replacement bottle.
