My resume that highlights my ability/knowledge/expertise in AET Engineering and in the Auto Industry is enclosed. During my time at Bosal I was able to reduce scrap and increase productivity in production during implementing design of experiments exercise. I attended the AK steel Technical Symposium in May of 2014. I have a Green Belt in quality, solved many design problems using MINITAB and Excel. I have invented tools for reworking components. Working as team leader many problems were overcome with DOE and keep the focus on striving to exceed the customer’s requirements. I have experience with AIAG/VDA standards. I have over 20 years updating APQP, ADVP&R writing PPAP’s control plans and work instructions. I have filled in as the quality manager at my last job due to the absents of the quality manger. I have 20 plus years of internal audits and have help companies past UL, AS9001 and TS 16949 audits. I have work with customers and suppliers on quality issues and have always obtained great response. Sincerely, Doug Houk
