Efforts included training team members in:• Root Cause Analysis • Data Collection and Process Control• Preventive Maintenance• Process Set-up ReductionSuccesses in this project:• Reduced outside contracting from 5 suppliers to one• Improved process yields from 80% to over 98%• Increased productivity and reduced assembly cost• Attained certification to EMC Corp. Quality Supplier Requirements Other successful challenges and accomplishments with Transistor Devices included development of corporate-owned facilities in Tecate, Mexico. This led to a need for a global capacity planning system. I worked with corporate partners in our factories in Mexico and China to develop a universal means of reporting productivity and scheduling production. To meet increasing demand over the next 3 years, both the Mexico and US operations were increased from one automated assembly line on a single shift to 3 lines on 2 shifts in each plant. Show less

Reorganized cGMP production operations for manufacturing of hygiene equipment for the Dental industry. Developed efficient continuous flow manufacturing cells, through time and motion analysis, modernization of capital equipment, personnel training and authoring standard procedures.Implemented a database to manage capacity planning, production scheduling and labor cost analysis. Improvement efforts reduced direct labor cost per unit by an average of 50% and increased on-time… Show more Reorganized cGMP production operations for manufacturing of hygiene equipment for the Dental industry.

Introduced lean manufacturing concepts and continuous flow manufacturing cells, affecting a significant reduction of product cycle times. Additional quality and process improvements resulted in component yield increase from 70% to over 95%. Developed and administered Group Leader and Supervisor training program to affect positive change in culture towards Total Quality environment.Managed a team of technicians to rewrite product and process documentation. This effort was instrumental to attainment of ISO-9000 certification, and also helped to facilitate ease of implementation of a low-cost manufacturing facility in Reynosa, Mexico. My success in this endeavor provided the additional opportunity to develop and manage contract manufacturers in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. Show less

Achieved qualifications to build and test electronic assemblies for the US Air Force, McDonnell Douglas Aircraft and Missile, Northrup-Grumman Aerospace and several other large DoD suppliers. Developed database system for estimating labor costs for competitive bids. The proliferation of business from multiple sources highlighted shortcomings in some customer’s documentation. I worked with a cross-functional team to present alternative documentation schemes to customers to improve manufacturability and technology transfer of their products. As a by-product of these efforts, I also developed a 2-day seminar on Design for Automated Manufacture, which I administered to several design teams at Georgia Tech Research Institute. Show less

Started up a regional field service office to support Amistar’s customer base on the East Coast. This involved installation and repair of equipment, training customers and hiring and training factory service technicians.
