This age group often lacks the knowledge to make proper use of current communication technologies. Helping them opens a new world of experience to them.

Roseville, California

With the move of computer manufacturing to Roseville, I assumed the responsibility for supporting the R&D Lab in their material procurement needs for prototype builds of new products. Staffing was increased from 3 to 17 people and in addition, the QA lab was retained.A collection process was setup in the factory for defective components which were analyzed.

Cupertino, California

Responsibility for the technical portion of component/assembly sourcing in support of both NPI and current product computer system manufacturing. This included quality monitoring and evaluation of both current and potential new suppliers to the Computer systems Division.Developed a 3 sigma sampling process for incoming component inspection to minimize the.
