- Identified incorrect setup and labor routings in department work centers. Conducted time studies to update these routings. Updated routings helped capture more accurate capacity and demand metrics for daily planning.- Conducts internal audits for yearly plant quality AS9100D and ISO 9001 certifications.- Applies linear optimization to drive cost effective production models for small and large quantity orders. These models help choose a cost-effective manufacturing method. - Uses Solidworks to design and fabricate machine parts necessary for daily manufacturing production support.- Transformed a 70 year old process from die cut to laser cut. The laser cut process is cost-saving and more efficient because it has the ability to sequence multiple orders into one production run. - Generates SAP IDOC classification data to automate production orders for thermal transfer printing. This decreased setup time by increasing operator productivity and throughput.- Supports production planning and operator cross training on machines within the department.

- Developed process flow diagrams for estimating manufacturing, material and investment costs for awarded global business contracts - Assisted with automotive division sale by auditing production BOMs & routings- Continually developed new templates and standards for product cost estimation- Wrote a 6.5 million dollar Authority for Expenditure

• Used Statistical Process Control to improve process capability and lower defect rates of Thermostatic Expansion Valves in affected air conditioning units• Remotely worked alongside production plants in Mexico, China, and France improving uniform quality by 20% and ensuring that company quality standards and practices were met

• Scheduled and facilitated weekly production goal meetings, helping teams achieve weekly Key Performance Indicators • Consulted on the development of 5+ new design procedures, improving plant production by 8% while eliminating root causes of manufacturing downtime• Created new electronic machine interfaces for 20+ operators in partnership with the IT department

• Used plant routing data to redesign, develop, and automate fin press operations for the production of commercial radiators and oil coolers• Utilized software platforms, such as CATIA, Unigraphics (NX) and Pro-Engineer in coordination with Systems Applications and Products software to aid in the national redistribution of machinery and merchandise after several plant closures
