Designed and led the development of a process control data analysis system that would collect both manual process data as well as automatic PLC input. The software offered facilities tools for statistical process control and data analysis. The software was employed in 23 facilities generating each approximately 1 million dollars in annual savings.* Provided project leadership to designers for software development, including: budget control, production timetable, status reporting, client/project team coordination, and quality assurance.* Defined and achieved client needs through one on one sessions and on going communication* Created and maintained the development priorities, tasks and work flow.* Facilitated the launch and training of administrators at 23 facilities in 14 countries.

Responsible for identifying and directing Lean and Six Sigma profit improvement projects within manufacturing facilities with emphasis on using statistical methods to make data based business and operational decisions.* Created a raw materials model using statistical regression analysis. The model allowed the facility to make material corrections 5 days prior to production allowing possible quality issues to be corrected.* Coordinated a joint project between supplier and customer to help reduce customer rejects due to suppliers product. Assisted in improving both the suppliers out going quality system and the customers reject system through the use of statistical tools. Customer rejects rates were reduced from 17.5% first pass reject rate to <4% generating a $250000 annual sales increase.* Assisted in the planning and moving of a production line from one facility to another. Through the use of experience personnel, I directed a FMEA to outline all the possible failure modes to be corrected on start up at the new facility. This planning allowed for a smooth and quick start up with minimal down time and quality issues.
