• Developed defect prediction model that resulted in product deliveries with zero operation defects. • Designed automated defect removal processes that resulted in quantified savings of $3.8 million. Recognized with BAE Systems 2009 Bronze Award.• Created defect removal process that was 66% more efficient, while maintaining defect removal effectiveness. Received BAE Systems 2008 Bronze Award. • Developed models and analysis techniques that were instrumental in BAE Systems achieving and maintaining CMMI Software Level 5 rating.• Developed division-wide quantitative measurement program and mentored senior management to base decisions on real-time quantitative models.• Analyzed project measurement data using Minitab and SWEEP as a basis for directing continuous improvement initiatives. • Directed engineers in collection of process measurements that allowed for a streamlined and efficient continuous improvement management group. • Determined root causes for data variation which allowed for optimal organizational process function. • Developed and managed both Army Future Combat System and Navy Guns measurement programs that resulted in common measurement activity across multiple teams and multiple engineering disciplines.• Developed and trained Armament Systems Division Root Causal Analysis classes which allowed for a common method for discovering root cause across the organization. • Developed and Trained Armament Systems division Defect Removal processes resulting in efficient, effective and predictable defect removal activity.
