Responsible for the day to day running of the manufacturing facility. Duties include effective staff management, ensure monthly production targets are achieved, deal with all staffing issues, ensure health & safety procedures are adhered to, budget controls and ensure that all plant machinery are run efficiently on all shift patterns. Main Projects Undertaken so far:Re - engineer the Needle valve and ball valve manufacturing processes to reduce manufacturing costs.Install a state of the art valve pressure testing unit for testing ball and needle valves as well having the capacity to cope with other types of valves for future business.Personal Achievements Project For Company Expansion - I was given the task of looking at ways to allow the company to expand, to allow the purchase of additional machinery as there was no more usable shop floor space. It was proposed to purchase extra premises as the only way forward. I proposed a reduction in finished goods storage, installing a computerised storage system utilising the roof space and not floor space. My proposal was accepted and I was tasked with implementation.Using existing machinery, set up 3 manufacturing cells to optimise production. Justification for Capital investment - Two £165,000 CNC twin spindle multi axis lathes and one £200,000 CNC twin spindle multi axis Lathe bought in to increase capacity and to manufacture more complex component.Experience of overseas trade mission to explore possibility of setting up a working relationship with new companies to increase our supplier base and increase the companies capabilities.Reduce business costs and improve Environmental performances through enhanced resource efficiency and process controls. Reduced business costs by £10,000 per year.

Develop and manage all CNC Fanuc & Siemens programs using CADCAM Software and long hand, use Autocad to design and develop Component and tool/fixture drawings. Responsible for the Purchase of all tooling, set up and manage a Central Tool Stores to help reduce tooling expenditure and improve machine efficiency by implementing new methods of machining/tooling.Aide sales team by providing cycle times and costs for Quotation purposes and overlook all aspects of sub contract work from initial quotation stages through to manufacture and finalInspection to ensure customer delivery dates are achieved.

Reduce machine down time and tooling expenditure. I found that most of the downtime was caused on setup due to lack of tooling available or required tooling not being found. I installed a central tool stores within the factory so all tooling could be located and tooling packages provided for every machine setup. This reduced setup times, machine down-times and tooling expenditure considerably. Automate the Tool stores by introducing a Tool Management Storage System. This has reduced the size of the tool stores 50%. Tools are now ordered automatically directly with the suppliers once a min stock level is reached thus reducing purchasing costs. Capital Investment - One £195,000 CNC Lathe bought in to increase capacity.; Servicing major accounts in the North of England with an annual sales Target of £500K p.a and generating more sales. Testing new products and performing cost saving exercises for major companies including Ford Motor Company, Champion Spark Plugs and NSK Bearings. (See Notable achievements for more information). Personal AchievementsExplored ways to reduce tooling expenditure for companies whilst maintaining business for Eurogrind, developing special form tools/inserts; working alongside client engineers. Reduced cycle times and improved the quality and cost of manufactureNSK BEARINGS - Bearing manufacturing process and introduced a re-grind program for the form inserts to reduce tooling expenditure.

Based in the Ford Motor Company Transmission Plant I was Involved with the purchase of tooling, maintaining tool stock Levels, CNC machine trouble shooting and improving CNCMachining processes to provide the Ford Motor Company with an annual cost saving

Involved in CNC programming, new work planning, the purchase and modifying of tooling and improving manufacturing processes. Create component stage drawings using Autocad.Main projects include:JCB Pressure Relief Valve manufacture program for Husco International Ltd. This included machine justification and planning of machining processes, CNC Programming of the components, special tooling design, proving-out of all processes and training of all production staff. (See Notable achievements for more information). Personal AchievementsDeveloped the manufacturing process for a new type of Pressure Relief valve for Husco International Ltd. My main responsibilities were to justify initial CNC machine purchase, develop estimated cycle times to aide with the costing of the component, tooling design and purchase, CNC programming and initial setup and prove-out of the component on the machine. Once proven I trained the production staff and oversaw future problems with the 24-hour process. Developed the Turbo Charger Shaft & Wheel Manufacture program for Allied Signals. My main responsibilities were to justify initial CNC machine type, develop estimated cycle times for costing, tooling design and purchase, CNC programming and initial setup and prove-out. I was then responsible for setting up a shaft turning cell were the purchase of extra CNC lathes were required and I was given the task to develop a process of Dark Hour running the machines unmanned, this was done by using Robots to load and unload the shafts. Tool life was proven out exactly on these machines to ensure the Sister Tooling that was installed did not fail.

Set, program and operate Mazak CNC and manual lathes to produce high quality precision aircraft components.Programming CapabilitiesI have extensive experience of programming Fanuc based CNC Lathes, Siemens CNC Lathes and Mazak CNC lathes using Mazatrol.
