Chuck V. Email and Phone Number

Responsible for all aspects of quality for the Roanoke, Va and Charleston, SC facilities.

Managed Configuration Control and Quality Assurance functions for the munitions and explosives manufacturing processes at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant.

Directed all quality functions for two high-volume manufacturing operations and one warehouse. Conducted capability studies for lab testing, compression molding, transfer molding, injection molding and mechanical assembly processes. Reworked entire Quality Management system to comply with ISO 9001:2008 format, designed web page for intranet access to critical documents and databases. Conducted DOEs and used results to optimize critical processes, determine factors contributing to process… Show more Directed all quality functions for two high-volume manufacturing operations and one warehouse. Conducted capability studies for lab testing, compression molding, transfer molding, injection molding and mechanical assembly processes. Reworked entire Quality Management system to comply with ISO 9001:2008 format, designed web page for intranet access to critical documents and databases. Conducted DOEs and used results to optimize critical processes, determine factors contributing to process variation, optimize design parameters and develop new materials. Developed MS Access databases for corrective actions, manufacturing non-conformances, deviations, operator performance, internal audits, scrap and lab testing/retests. Show less

Managed quality inspectors, auditors and engineers in three manufacturing plants. Led multiple RCCA and Lean projects in filament winding, RTM and lay-up/autoclave composite manufacturing operations and machine shops dealing with quality problems, scrap, cycle time reduction and efficiencies. Coordinated activities between CNC machining centers, CMM inspection stations and CAD engineering to create acceptable interface between CATIA, CAMIO and CNC controllers. Conducted capability studies for… Show more Managed quality inspectors, auditors and engineers in three manufacturing plants.
