Oversee the development, implementation and improvements of manufacturing processes and equipment to insure operator safety, product quality, and cost efficiency.Manage manufacturing engineers by setting priorities and goals that align with business plan.Develop, manage and report on productivity improvement, scrap reduction, and capital expenditure projects.Resolve daily manufacturing issues, specify and procure capital equipment, identify and implement cost saving initiatives, lead new product development teams, lead cross-functional project teams including international locations, lead and participate in kaizen team activities.

Aiken, Sc

Resolved daily product and machine-related issues in areas that manufacture and test high voltage polymer and porcelain surge arresters. Performed root cause analysis to identify underlying causes to issues so permanent solutions could be implemented.Managed capital projects in which duties included specifying equipment requirements, obtaining quotes, writing Authorization for Expenditure requests, working with vendors, machine acceptance, start up and writing process procedures.Specified, purchased and installed over $1.5M in new equipment and tooling into existing and new processes. Individual capital equipment ranged from $10K to $250K.Identified, tested and implemented process and material changes that resulted in annual savings over $3M.Lead and participated in kaizen teams focused on identifying and eliminating waste in existing processes and designed new processes and products using lean manufacturing tools such as poka yoke, time studies, standard work, Pugh concept selection, house of quality, R3, Design of Experiments, PFMEA, and DFMEA.Regularly participated on product development and improvement teams and provided valuable input to the design of the products and processes. Involved with manufacturing and testing prototype assemblies and processes as well as implementing recommended changes.
