• In late 2007, J.S. Die and Mold received national recognition for Lead Time Excellence in the mold manufacturing industry by MoldMaking Technology magazine. • I was able to reduce profitability variation of injection mold manufacturing by 50% through improved mold cost estimates utilizing statistical and heuristic models. • Since molds are “one off” products, they are also individually designed, made and eventually brought into production. Therefore, management of multiple projects and their associated resources was critical. • I was involved in helping (teaching/mentoring) employees plan and implement process improvement projects which resulted in reduced costs and lead time for our molds.
