I had responsibility over seven sites for cost reduction activities. My objectives were to identify footprint, value engineering, and non-product spend cost reduction projects within the portfolio. I presented the business case to the executive review boards for approval and launch the teams for those projects. The projects range in size and timing from ~$500k to $2M in spend with a total savings impact per year of approximately $22M.

My responsibilities ranged from mentoring the 11 direct reports, and delegating program activities to the lead engineers; to program reviews for program spend and schedule adherence. During this time, I was able to implement a development process that reduced turn backs and errors by 50% and decreased the turn time for a design from two months to three weeks. This reduction in errors also reduced the long run cost of the program by 10%.In this position I also increased the team head count from 4 to 11 in the US and created an off-shore team in India of the same size. With the new teams we were able to drive additional work to complete in less time.
