Conducted Design Reviews with the Design Team in the USA and Germany to ensure adherence to the Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA/DFMA)♦ Performed Process Capability Statistics to support Process Validations for the introduction of new equipment and new process into an existing production line which eliminated destructive testing on Catheters♦ Facilitated a Six Sigma Project and executed MSAs by performing Gage R&R to reduce Pump Housing Scratches to under 0.3%♦ Developed, Validated and Qualified the qualification/installation plan (IQ/OQ) for new/existing equipment by drafting protocols and supported manufacturing activities across multiple departments Show less
