• Led improvements to increase productivity and reduce costs in excess of $500,000 annually, through the use of DOE’s, SPC, six-sigma, time studies and Paredo charts.• Led the commercialization of multiple sets of molds and auxiliary tooling, with each set in excess of $120,000, to replace obsolete tooling and reclaim lost efficiencies of as much as 15% • Designed, developed and implemented new package handling equipment at CCC to bridge a commercial commitment, which allowed the customer to begin receiving palletized bottles several months earlier than would be typically possible.• Primary point of customer contact to resolve issues for multiple production facilities, ranging from small quality issues, to package performance issues with potential customer claims in excess of $250,000.• Reviewed 5 manufacturing locations for compliance with AIB, HACCP, 5S and OSHA requirements outlining deficiencies to plant management to minimize potential risks.

• Recommended and implemented initiatives to improve product quality and increase the manufacturability of a given product using SPC, DOE’s, Poke-Yoke and six-sigma.• Negotiated initial specifications as well as needed changes reflective process capabilities with customers. • Led the development of an Access based data base to automate the creation and management of in excess of several thousand product specifications.• Developed new test procedures to resolve quality concerns.

• Managed the development of several key accounts resulting in sales in excess of $40mm in revenue. This management included new package development, resolution issues, management of new projects, and periodic reviews of new technologies and markets. • Led the development of new trimming methods and multiple unique packages designs, many of which resulted in patents being applied for and issued, which were directly responsible for growth of the mature product or introduction of a new product and or product category.• Company expert on barrier structures used to improve product shelf life of food and chemical products.

• Led the transition to three dimensional modeling using Unigraphics, Catia and SDRC computer aided design software.• Working from conceptual sketches and models, recommended and implemented design changes to enhance the manufacturability and performance of various containers being developed while documenting the changes for approval by customers prior to releasing for production tooling.• Led the start up qualification of new mold sets at numerous CCC facilities.• Represented CCC at initial filling trials at various customers fill locations to ensure suitability for use and compliance to customer specifications.

• Concurrently led development and cost savings initiatives for the General Motors’ “A body” family of cars, resulting in excess of $100,000 of annual cost savings through design modifications in addition to managing the localization from Japan of three different height adjusters to be supplied to Honda, Toyota and Nummi through the use of project schedules, Gantt charts and customer interaction to successfully control all production and prototyping requirements.• Performed extensive tolerance studies and validation testing to assure the proper operation and functions of all components and assemblies. • Analyzed and resolved current production situations by effectively communicating with the customer, quality control, purchasing and suppliers through the use of simultaneous engineering.
