Completed time studies analysis for the TPMS assembly process, resulting in continuous improvements to cycle time. Managed and performed one-on-one survey analysis with Tire Room operators and line leaders to identify process bottlenecks, cycle time loss, and operator utilization to establish a problem statement. Mapped out the process flow for the entire Tire and Rubber room and developed a fishbone diagram to evaluate system variables and identify critical to quality (CTQ) factors.Conducted a comprehensive time study analysis of the TPMS station to identify areas where the actual cycle time deviated from the theoretical cycle time and implemented effective solutions for further cycle time improvement, meet project metrics of reducing cycle time by 25%.Fulfilled a thorough investigation of data-driven improvement options to enhance tire room efficiencies, identifying critical areas of improvement and quantifying the potential impact on the production cycle.Proposed optimal cost/benefit solutions and performed rigorous statistical analyses to forecast long-term improvements, ensuring a positive return on investment for the organization.Effectively communicated proposed actions and project deliverables to key stakeholders, securing their alignment and gaining financial approvals for the recommended initiatives.Created and delivered a comprehensive six-sigma panel report in the DMAIC format, collaborating with Ford Motor Company's formatting and presentation standards. The panel included a detailed analysis of findings, proposed solutions, and testing outcomes, providing a clear overview of the project's progress and achievements.
