Kimberly Clarke was to be my final Career path until it closed the factory due to overseas competition forced its closure. Albury Mill was responsible for the manufacture of component products to be used in Nappies. 
Responsibilities included leading a team to see that customer supply was made to order and that quality was maintained within the parameters of the customer demands.

Maintaining a safe working environment and ensuring others to work safely and not take risks. Auditing Safety standards in regards to machine operation and equipment upgrades. Auditing  and writing Work instructions for upgrades and new equipment. 
The team that I was lucky enough to oversee were self motivated and committed to doing a good job.
Hardest part of job was Scheduled maintenance shuts, where certain tasks were required to be done by a certain time and unforeseen issues arose Eg electrical faults or computor malfunctions.
The most enjoyable part of the Job was to be able to Hand over the Operations to the oncoming shift and to know that they had a productive shift.

Purchasing was a very busy position.  Working with 2 states gave you the understanding of the laws and regulations of different Australia states.  Also working along side Mayalsia was a very challenging task but worked out ok.  Management was considerably one sided and understandable wanted the best for the whole company, which made your job a very important and busy position

Full of challenge at work, using different tools for trouble shooting, like LEAN, 5WHY'S, Fishbone-Strategy, OPEX. Learned how to advanced at work compare to other company. Management is fare for all the benefits. Good culture. Hardest part of the job is during breakdown, have to gather everyone involve and discuss the problem. The most enjoyable part is you've been awarded of of your hardwork.

I enjoyed working here every day as the people are amazing to work with - a wonderful culture.  I stayed as a contract employee hoping for a permanent position but was made redundant.

Wonderfully supported by management.  Given thorough training when I volunteered to take on extra work.

Kimberley Clark is an exceptional company,  focusing on creating a caring and respectful workplace, and rewarding and recognising achievements.  Continually skilling employees and keeping abreast of workplace safety and  compliance  standards.

picking orders, stacking pallets, loading/unloading, driving truck.
Learnt a lot of forklifting skills and machine operating.
Management is ok for a big business.
Work culture is great like a big family, team bonding.
hardest part was leaving due to cost cutting
most enjoyable are the people you work with

The company looks after their employees very well.  They are especially concerned with Occupational Health and Safety and have zero tolerance for work-related injuries to staff.  Unfortunately, the company closed down the factory and relocated it overseas.  I would still have been with them until now.

Kimberly Clark Australia is closing its doors in Australia but I would say this has been the best company I have work in my entire career as a machine operator/assembly line worker.  It is very safety concious, clean working environment, good salary and benefits and it espoused work/life balance.
