Transitioned to a white-space vertical integration role to help define manufacturing strategy for Polaris. Notable accomplishments and project work include:• Documented and benchmarked a standard analytical approach to identify, quantify, communicate, and report out vertical integration projects; Manage multiple projects at varying stages utilizing this process.• Developed a vertical integration roadmap that outlines strategy and opportunity within our operating network.• Evaluate multiple scenarios and varying aspects of vertical integration that best align with business objectives and strategy that helps define the Polaris manufacturing footprint.• Work closely with stakeholders across the global network; Influence, motivate, and manage project teams working through business case analytics utilizing multiple data analysis techniques and scenario mapping.• Helped define the Polaris door manufacturing strategy by leading NPI reviews and analytics that eventually led to the launch of full door assembly in our Mexico plant. Led the first half door manufacturing insourcing program for the Ranger High Lifter program that launched successfully in our Alabama plant.

Promoted to manufacturing project engineer in 2015 to conceptualize and implement capital projects that impact the overall cost-to-produce of the manufacturing cell. Focus areas include process improvement with the use of automation technology and controls. Key areas of achievement include:• Automated Process Integration Implemented a robotically loaded turning center that saved over 1,100 labor hours annually utilizing a 3D vision picking system to reduce the amount of time a machinist needed to spend at the machine. Controlled variation in a cylinder manufacturing process with the use of in-line gaging that reported directly to SPC software and was reported monthly with first pass test yield. Responsible for the implementation and programming of a robotically loaded horizontal milling machine that eliminated setup and increased part throughput.• Manufacturing Process Improvements Reduced the cost of a single pump product line by $65K by re-designing the pump cylinder to standardize the size across multiple product lines while still maintaining backwards compatibility for all existing pumps. Implemented state-of-the-art CNC milling processes into production that resulted in 20% cycle time savings. Worked closely with both internal design teams and external suppliers to specify and design machine fixturing for new product development. Developed new processes to bring outsourced machined components in-house to control overall quality of the product and decrease purchased component spend.• 5S / Manufacturing Blitz Events Managed and led multiple cross functional teams focusing on setup reduction for CNC machining processes which resulted in an average of 50% reduction in labor hours. Implemented visual production boards for CNC machines to drive lean flow and communication through key constraints. Planned and implemented factory layouts for both new and existing machining and assembly lines.
