Quality focal point for over 20 manufacturing programs that produce air-crew escape components for domestic and foreign military.

• Rotated through sales, application and quality engineering groups on the Leadership Development Program
• Performed 32 sales calls as a technical consultant of photo-electric, laser, condition and vision sensors so thatcustomers have a local resource that is dedicated to pre-sale technical support of their sensor.
• Developed RSLogix 500 ladder logic program code for a programmable logic controller (PLC) that communicatedwith an industrial color sensor by using ASCII messages over a RS-485 network and made improvements.
• Wrote reports for 37 Root Cause Failure Analysis requests that included the testing procedures performed, technical requirements of products and results of analysis to customers to make recommendations
• Coordinated informational sessions, tours and delegated tasks for semi-annual recruiting event of college graduates that were candidates for the Leadership Development Program

• Promoted the use of vibration signatures to describe machine conditions with the objective of reducing potentialdowntime
• Developed and presented a Microsoft Visio decision flow chart that sequentially investigates vibration readingsfrom software and conventional machine maintenance as one method instead of two separate procedures
• Performed vibration analysis on 68 CNC machines using existing and current data to target operations and axis ofmotion that caused abnormal machine conditions instead of the predicted machining cycle
• Gathered data and delivered information to process engineer and line manager to facilitate production
• Created accurate model of tool flow from machining operations to maintenance so that options could be exploredfor an improved turn-around time
• Tracked and delivered information showing the lack of casting material on crankshafts to the supplier so that thecasting mold could be improved to reduce the out of balance rejects

• Facilitated cross-training of current employees by revising documentation and supported preparations for inspections.
• Inquired hourly workers and documented ten operation processes for salvage department of rotary valve steering gear to emphasize efficiency and safety of training employees on different operations
• Employed AutoCAD to revise process sheets that were dated by three years to eliminate the difference between documentation and actions taken by the operators for quality inspections
