Provided consulting services to private manufacturing facilities across New England on ways to reduce their operating costs through reduction in energy and utilities uses and efficiencies.

Innovate Labs is an educational research lab providing students of all disciplines with opportunities and resources to learn, explore, and develop industry-valued skills outside the classroom around emerging technology and analytics. Our goal is to create experiential learning opportunities for students of all backgrounds to develop new combinations of skills that will foster and grow the next generation of learners, leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators.Oversaw about 20 lab research and marketing specialists in 4 different cross-functional teams. Handled tasks such as: project development, team meetings, event planning, workshops, HR procedures, hiring, and training.

Designed 3D modeling learning modules teaching students how to utilize Solidworks and Solidworks AssembliesFabricated a remote 3D printer control system with a Raspberry pi to wirelessly monitor and control printer operationsCreated 3D printing learning modules teaching students how to utilize 3 different types of FDM 3D printersDeveloped code-operated manufacturing workcell that utilized sensors and 3-axis robotic arm to perform executable tasks and transport objects along a conveyor system.

- Designed the front half of an assembly process in an efficiency improvement kaizen event to reduce operators and operations by 50% while still meeting the business need of customer demand. Simulated multiple iterations of work station layouts to evaluate design changes and their impact on reducing cycle time. - Utilized Toyota Production System methods and tools to implement process design changes that brought cycle time under takt time, exceeding the project goal. Reduced cycle time and periodic work by 15% each from current conditionReduced fluctuations in cycle time by 88% from current conditionEliminated 66% of Non-Value-Added work by redesigning work element sequences from current condition- Utilized Solidworks to design a vibratory feeder which presents single parts in a uniform orientation as per Toyota Production System ideals. Vibratory feeder system presented parts effectively 97% of the time while costing 0.6% of the vibratory solutions currently on the market. - Modeled and manufactured custom manual assembly parts trays to reduce Lean Wastes of motion and excess inventory at the work station, reducing cycle time and capital ties up at the workstation.

Aided in the integration of a new multi-million dollar coating machine by designing standard operating procedures, training schedules, in process QC checks, point-of-use systems, and creating visual floor indicators to promote safety and efficiency. Utilized value stream mapping to identify non-value adding processes of the schedule department in a kaizen event. Worked in a cross-functional team to identify solutions to eliminate non-value adding processes. Created 3 Key Performance Indicators to track the effectiveness of lean solutions and provide data-driven guidance.
