Collectively they have helped increase productivity by 10% in various productions areas thru tooling redesign and implementation of standard work.• Work closely with and train maintenance personnel on new and existing equipment to help keep lines running efficiently and effectively with minimal production downtime while employing appropriate PM programs thru the maintenance connection (CMMS) software.• Provide manufacturing engineering support and improvements to the high volume automation lines as well as the low-moderate volume high mix manual assembly lines which include process improvement, process and product support, lean manufacturing and six sigma initiatives, deviation requests, and work instruction development. Give expert engineering support for production equipment for which I was a key leader in its introduction/development Knowledgeable of the engineering, scheduling and production practices of our made-to-order department.• Written and implemented Capital Equipment Requests (CER’s) for new and renovated equipment. Executed numerous OPEX, Kaizen Events, Six Sigma and Value Added/Value Engineering projects that generated a cost savings in excess of $2.9M with the collective efforts of key engineering staff including myself, R&D, quality, lean six sigma master blackbelt and production personnel.• Support and administer all facets of several new product introductions of which involved tasks that include but are not limited to the development of standards/routings, BOM’s, CER equipment purchases, floor plan changes, equipment modification, fixture development, work instructions, R&D pilot runs, data collection, feedback/participation in new product development working closely with R&D, production, quality and suppliers.
