Accomplishments:Reduced time period of annual physical inventory by 33%.Negotiated and coordinated transfer of 3PL warehouse providers, resulting in a annual savings of 20%.Modified the raw material handling process resulting in an inventory accuracy above the goal.Oversaw the implementation of barcoding. By analyzing material flow, reduced time to issue components from the warehouse to WIP and balanced the workload. Replaced manual material ordering process with a program based system. Implemented a process to incorporate engineering changes to identify and dispose of obsolete parts.Directed development of a program to calculate the demand per component. Improved warehouse and WIP cycle count processes.Created daily reporting of raw material days on hand per production cell in order to set inventory goals per WIP location.Developed a process for investigating root cause of parts with negative on hand quantities and submitting ECRs.Implemented process to check impact of ECOs on raw material.Coordinated transfer of raw material to a new warehouse. Responsibilities:Oversee planning, purchasing, shipping, receiving, customs, tool crib and customer service departments.Ensure that NAFTA provisions affecting “maquiladoras” are followed.Convert annual sales forecast from product family to unit product quantities. Perform monthly direct staffing requirements per production cell.Responsible for coordinating annual physical inventory.Work with corporate customer service to modify production schedule priorities and ensure orders are shipped to meet promised delivery dates.Collaborate with other departments to transfer production cells to Juarez while meeting customer requirements. Determine annual capital requirements and prepare supporting documentation. Meet several times per week with planners to review raw material inventory levels.Perform RCCP.

Accomplishments:Implemented Lean Manufacturing Principles that led to consolidation of operations, and improved productivity and space utilization.Decreased equipment spare parts inventory.Decreased utility costs.Responsibilities:Managed industrial and manufacturing engineers, maintenance technicians, and toolroom technicians. Conducted annual performance evaluations of engineers.Identified, designed, and fabricated semi-automation projects.Led tasks to consolidate assembly operations.Prepared annual capital investment and ROI analysis. Implemented cellular manufacturing layouts. Oversaw the transfer of production cells to Juarez from U.S. Created and maintained ISO9002 procedures for engineering, maintenance, and toolroom departments.Coordinated the implementation of 5S Principles in 8 key production cells.Initiated an analysis to determine output capacity of each production cell.Implemented pinch point survey to determine the accident severity of equipment.

Designed fixtures, tools, and stamping dies.Developed programs for equipment having PLCs.Performed process capability studies and tolerance stackup analysis of fuse components to determine fit arrangement.Proposed component modifications and worked with corporate design engineer to implement these improvements.Coordinated transfer of production lines from our U.S. to Mexico plant.Responsible for pilot runs of redesigned products and qualification of transferred lines.Corrected multi-parameter process problems through DOEs.Assisted quality with scheduled process audits.

Reviewed and approved design modifications.Tested performance of electrical components in electric coffeemakers.Insured adherence with UL standards and procedures for approval of new coffeemaker designs.Oversaw assembly of coffee makers.Created daily production schedule.Performed first article inspection of components for mass production. Defined the criteria used to perform incoming inspection. Maintained inventory.Negotiated pricing on components and issued purchase orders. Responsible for maintaining inventory. Implemented ECOs. Insured compliance with NAFTA.
