• Created and Maintained a Quality Management System that focused on catching manufacturingdefects as early as possible and determining methods to prevent defects from occurring in thefuture. As a result, costs on defects and reprints went down $100,000 between 2016 and 2017• Maintained an Access database of all customer complaints and in-house reprints. This allowedTeraco to more accurately deal with customer concerns and correct quality issues in a timelymanner.• Created a scale model of the manufacturing facility in AutoCAD. This helped upper managementdetermine the most efficient placement of machines and plan for major renovations.

Created design drawings in AutoCAD for facilities that separate crude oil into its component parts and store them for sale.Compared products from multiple vendors to determine the most cost-effective option to use in facility construction.Assisted in the refurbishment of older existing facilities.Tracked costs of multiple projects to prevent cost overruns.

Coordinated with the Engineering, Safety, Logistics, and Contracts departments to create documents that notified suppliers of discovered deficiencies with their product, and also provided descriptions of the problems, and the expected resolutions. Received the Lockheed Martin Special Recognition Award for making significant improvements to the process.Facilitated meetings with chief engineer to document technical design changes to specific parts for the F-35 aircraft. Designed and updated the technical Engineering Review Board database and created reports which were distributed to multiple departments.Maintained an Access database of serial numbers which identified all parts used to assemble a specific airplane. Improved the database front end in order to make the database much more user friendly and developed a series of Access database queries which quickly generated needed data for the department manager, saving significant time.Assisted the F-35 assembly line process by researching problems and correcting errors with the part serial number recording database. Increased efficiency by minimizing work stoppages on the aircraft assembly.
