My first interaction with a large corporation and was thrilled to work on projects for the brands Case iH and New Holland. The internship was autonomous and was gifted the opportunity to do a great deal of root cause analysis and create my own continuous improvement projects. I was spread out within the manufacturing plant gaining insight through working in the repair, tooling, cab, transmission, chassis, and final drive departments. Some job duties and tasks completed:• Coordinated step 5 World Class Manufacturing project for 2019 Case MagnumTractor• Implemented Kaizen project for connecting logistics and tractor repair department with savings of $162,000• Designed robust grounding harness for the electrostatic painting process• Diagnosed and repaired various problems with Tractor electrical system• Line balanced ECO’s for 2019 Model Cab

Key Manufacturing propelled my understanding in efficient manufacturing principles. Having my hand in multiple lean, 5S, and six sigma projects simultaneously heightened my subconscious for creative problem solving. Typical Job duties were:• Engineering change order solutions with customers• Organizing/executing 5S projects in maintenance/tooling departments• Operating and training employers on new manufacturing equipment• Complex spreadsheet applicationsMy relationship and duties were always dynamic and intimate in nature, working closely with the general manager, quality control, floor supervisors, and head of maintenance department.

Position required proficiency on a diverse set of platforms. Completed objectives included: welding, concrete form work (driveways, exterior steps, basement foundations, etc.), pipe/plumbing repair, carpentry, and operating heavy machinery.
