Directing the production efforts of 850+ personnel across 15 different technical specialties who supported the USAF’s largest fleet of F-16 and F-35 aircraft valued at $10.6B, I managed the preventive maintenance, inspection and emergency repairs of the fleet’s 2,700 pieces of equipment, such as generators, welders, mills, presses and lathes valued at $80M. To ensure the operability of 35 facilities valued at $55M, I oversaw safety, security and maintenance. My USAF service commitment will end with this role 11/2021. Highlights of my success include:⋆ In coordination with interagency personnel and external partners, I ensured that customer needs were met in a timely manner by creating the workflow schedule and delegating daily priorities for an average of 90 production projects across 15 specialty shops.➟ I increased production capabilities of new equipment tie-downs from a 14-day process per component to producing 14 per day by identifying the bottleneck and overseeing the full scope of the improvement project, from supporting product design and testing prototypes to successfully implementing mass production. ♘ To improve first flight with zero defects from 88% to 93.4% and achieve a 100% on-time rate for scheduled maintenance, I assessed key performance indicators (KPIs), QA pass rates and supply levels, cross-trained staff and effectively forecasted inventory.

I collaborated with the cross-functional team of interagency personnel and external partners that assisted with planning and executing the programs, operational and facility infrastructure, equipment and supply support requirements, policies and procedures and employee training parameters necessary to introduce, operate and sustain a brand new, first-of-its-kind piece of equipment to the Air Force. My featured contributions include:⋆ For one year, I led the 11-person executive administrative support team and provided oversight of 22 programs for the USAF equivalent of the CEO.➟ Overhauling a project that was as much as 50% behind schedule within 10 months, I quickly assessed program parameters, identified high-priority tasks and built the cross-functional team that got the project back on track for an on-time delivery while improving team readiness from 25% to 85%. ➟ While managing a fleet of 37 vehicles that supported 40K annual customer dispatches, I introduced streamlined work order processing that boosted fleet availability by 23%, the highest in 3 years.

Leading teams of up to 37 metals manufacturing technicians who sustained the structural integrity of as many as 76 F-15 aircraft and 5 HH-60 helicopters, I maintained the safe operability of 648 pieces of support equipment, prioritized departmental resources, allocated staff and managed facilities and assets valued at $32M. Highlights of my accomplishments include:$$$ To save $300K in outsourcing costs, reduce equipment downtime by 2K hours and slash the backlog by 15%, I directed the fabrication of metal components, tools and support equipment.♘ Upon identifying negative QA trend items, I conducted root cause analysis and introduced targeted efforts that ensured 14K tools and 45 pieces of equipment had QA pass rates 12.2% above standards.✓ I balanced organizational needs with personnel goals by creating a workflow schedule that prioritized and allocated 1,400+ annual maintenance production tasks while ensuring staff completion of 2K+ annual training actions, skills upgrades and certification, including machining, welding and heat-treating operations.
