Responsible for providing leadership related to operational and quality activities, this includes setting strategic and tactic goals for the team, analyze requirements to ensure appropriate resources to proactively achieve the company objectives.The Devices Manufacturing process has been developed as a vertical operation, starting in Molding, with four different technologies, manufacturing 1.2 billion parts per year, which are responssible for feeding the subassembly and the cassettes areas. The end of the vertical operation is composed of 10 final lines for Medical Devices (Infusion Systems) manufacturing more than 100M units per year.Relevant Achievements:•Introduction of a new process of sterilization with electro beam technology, covering over 80% of the volume in the first year, generating over $1.5M in savings for the Company•Creation of Focus Factories for Costa Rica, consolidating Automation and Final Product lines in one single area, generating savings over $1.1M for the plant.•Transfer the Dominican Republic Operation to Costa Rica Facility in 14 months, with a volume of 35M units and 200 SKU’s with successful results.•Reduce the defects per million from 216 in 2009 to 21 in 2021, creating focus groups and empowerment to collaborators, using OPEX tools to improve the metric•Start Up of two Filling lines of saline water Flush Syringes in 2010/2011, manufacturing over 100M of units.•Generate Cost Reduction Projects such as one-piece flow, and Lean initiatives in Final products and automation, scrap, control initiatives, Layout and and efficiency improvements generating saving over $10 M in the last 10 years•Responsible of implementation and compliance of ISO 8536-4 related to particulate control in manufacturing environments for Costa Rica and Dominican Republic Facilities in 2014 analyzing and creating solutions for over 500 SKUs with successful results•Support OPEX system implementation and development problem solving tools for the Facility

The subassembly business is critical for the operation because is an strategic part of the vertical integration and it is the main source for final lines. It is composed of 70 automated equipment working in several shifts with a family of 203 different commoditties manufacturing a volume of 230 millions of units annually.Main Functions:• Supply 12 different final lines in three shifts.• Manufacture the commodities for Dominican Republic Facility in order to keep the final lines manufacturing.

The operation of planning is one the most critical areas in Costa Rica and Dominican Republic Facility. The position must control and plan for the whole year and month by month the volumes to manufacture according to demand and capacity of the different work centers, analyzing what can be done inside the Plant and outsourcing, depending on the available capacity, also, the operation covers all the volume of commodities that must be produced for Dominican Republic to keep the final lines in manufacturing.The planning covers over 750 different final product and 300 commodities for both facilities.Main Functions:• Keep Customer Service over 98%• Maintain Cycle Time of the finish goods below 30 Days• Coordinate and communicate de First lots to stock in the Facility.• Measure, control and report weeks of supply and inventory projections through Materials Area.• Responsible for annual volume/headcount and the two Planning Cycles: Plan and Update• Publishes weekly and monthly schedule, reflecting current scheduling priorities by work order, by quantity, by need date, to insure a timely flow of finished goods and sub-assemblies through the pipeline• Analyzes line capacities to determine if schedules are consistent with crewing availability/installed capacity on each work center. If any inconsistency is found communicate the proposal and modify it.• Regenerate raw material purchase plans as required by changing production schedules, market fluctuation, quality or internal process deviations.

The Cassette Operation is the base to the manufacturing process for assembling one of the most expensive commodities for the final lines operations and for being the exclusive supplier for both plants, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic. The operation works three shifts with a volume of 60M of units per year. Also, managing the Critical Care Products operation, manufacturing final IV sets, with a volume over 2M per year.Relevant Achievements:• Transfer from Sligo Facility (Ireland) the complete Critical Care Area to Costa Rica facility (280 different products) from September 2005 to November 2006 with no regulatory issues; the amount of targeted products was accomplished.• Design and implement a Lean system for Critical Care Products, Plum and New Wave product lines, contributing to a cost reduction of $1.8M in warehouse space utilization and units in stock. • Cycle time reduction in cassette area from 54 days to 11 days.• New Product Transfers/Launches:2004/2005: Omniflow cassette (product transfer) and Symbiq cassette (New launch) complying with the production schedule and without regulatory quality compliance. Main Functions:• Responsible for the operation of all manufacturing equipment & the effective supervision of 8 Supervisors (Engineers) and 310 operative personnel.• Assure product compliance upon specifications, allow no product recalls, manufacturing interruptions or major changes required as a result of Internal / External audits or customer complaints. • Achieve Total responsibility of Plan earned production and cost Reduction Plan.• Responsible for DPM’s (Defects per million) Reduction. • Take total responsibility on budget plans for the Manufacturing Area

Relevant Achievements:• Redesign of the packing area in 2001, achieving a reduction of 120 square meters in production floor, quantified as $960K. (Lean manufacturing Project).• Implementation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness and Five S Program in 2001, incrementing efficiency in 12% in Plum and Quantum cassette Area.• Product transfer and start-up of the subassembly operations for New Wave 2001, Plum and Life Care Cassettes in 1999 and 2000.• 1999: First Product transfer from Laurinburg, USA and Start-up of the first production line for the operation at Costa Rica.
