I train, coach, and manage a high-performing engineering team in driving plant-wide continuous improvement through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Focused Improvement (FI). This extends from talent acquisition and employee development to performance management and succession planning.Strictly adhering to the quality management system, I ensure ongoing corporate and regulatory compliance. I also establish the capital planning processes for all process and quality engineering projects.Employing strong interpersonal communication skills, I advise on and influence the swift adoption of process improvements across all levels.Some of my most significant contributions included:• Achieving the early delivery of a three-year, $5.3M cost improvement target I developed in collaboration with the Plant Leadership Team in annual strategic planning sessions.• Increasing plant performance 2% and advancing FI Pillar to Level 2 JIPM standards by utilizing loss analysis, TPM, and FI methodologies.• Guiding the on-time and on-budget completion of over a dozen projects and eliminating one product's downtime by challenging the team to produce an effective engineering solution.• Leading the engineering team in identifying and delivering $1.5M+ in cost improvement projects through intensive loss tree analysis.

Managed Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People (SQDCP) metrics for two 275-ton-per-day melters in Batch and Furnace. Fostered collaborative environment of integrity, diversity, and accountability while coaching operators on best troubleshooting and response procedures and overseeing repair and maintenance.Some of my most significant contributions included:• Elevating plant volume over two thousand tons per year without acquiring additional assets or decreasing quality by maximizing throughput; also improving weighing accuracy 75% and overall cycle time 10%.• Eliminating 75% of manual adjustments to enhance stability and performance by automating processes.• Cutting labor 33% by applying FI methodologies and data analysis while streamlining training, operations, and value stream mapping.• Earning the JIPM Excellence Level 1 Award as an Interim Early Management Pillar Leader.• Achieving "dust free batch house" by engaging operators in agile methodologies to meet OSHA respirable crystalline silica guidelines.

I directed the commissioning, operation, and troubleshooting of furnace control, electric, and combustion systems. As such, I conducted hands-on training with new engineers on proper inspection and maintenance techniques to extend asset life. Cultivating an environment of proactive maintenance and repair, I devised a routine inspection checklist outlining clearly defined parameters and criteria. I also developed standard operating procedures and training materials to standardize processes plant-wide.Some of my most significant contributions included:• Slashing two days from rebuild project timelines by optimizing shut-down and start-up procedures to reduce overall downtime.• Improving process stability across five plants by streamlining the data collection and analysis process.• Boosting process consistency, stability, and asset life by building an Excel data collection program providing immediate, easy-to-interpret key performance indicator (KPI) information to plant furnace engineers.

Once again, I benefitted from extensive coaching by senior professionals while acquiring deep technical understanding of furnace operations and maintenance. I led eight direct reports in meeting or exceeding performance metrics by consistently delivering high-quality products. I also maintained safety and efficiency while coordinating end-of-life asset management. Leveraging strong critical thinking skills and TPM methodologies, I drove continuous improvement by identifying and delivering process improvements to increase quality, efficiency, productivity, and ultimately, profitability.One of my most significant contributions was:• Earning appointment as the primary contact overseeing a major rebuild of the local facility.

Being selected for this high-intensity leadership program, I sharpened my technical and leadership skills in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing environment under the direct mentorship of key maintenance and engineering leaders. While obtaining deep knowledge and understanding in TPM methodologies, I effectively enhanced processes and optimized quality, reliability, efficiency, and safety.Some of my most significant contributions included:• Promoting zero defect and zero waste initiatives in forming operations and pack out by supporting numerous quality and productivity initiatives.• Performing extensive root cause analysis to implement targeted solutions to customer complaints.
