· I stabilize and cast highly figured and exotic woods and other items for customers to use to make items with, particularly knife handles, duck calls, custom pens, etc. If you watch Forged in Fire, a lot of the contestants are my customers.· I have gained skills that help me with customer relations and operational management.· I have reduced my lead times from 1 month or more to less than 2 weeks on most custom orders. This has gained me a lot of customers from my competitors.· As a manufacturing engineer, I am accustomed to adapting quickly to meet customer needs and demands. This experience has enabled me to effectively manage customer requests that change mid-process, demonstrating flexibility and ensuring seamless production adjustments.

· Duties included but not limited to management of tooling, processes, equipment and tooling of all disc fabrication equipment, machining equipment, lasers.· Purchased and implemented 3 different 3D printers. These were used to create tooling and prototypes for tooling to be used in the shop.· Setup a service center in Midland Texas for our safety plug trailers. This facility was set up to serve as a storefront for our customers as well as a facility to repair our equipment.· Managed multiple projects to purchase and implement 2 laser cells – each cell consisted of a laser used to score the disc to a certain depth, a light/camera source that would inspect and detect pin holes if created. The approximate cost of each cell was $350,000 to $400,000.· Implemented the first phase of connected factory in the plant. Using this method, we removed any human error from the recordkeeping process and any chance of the operator fabricating false records. This also gained us more business with other corporations that required automatic record keeping vs manual entry and this reduced questions when it came to any audits for certifications such as ISO 9001, 15001 and others needed in the industry.· Planned and lead new $8,000,000 plant expansion. This added 23,000 square foot of manufacturing area and approximately 9,000 square feet of office space. I was over the design of the office area, implementation of the IT infrastructure (~$750,000), phone systems, alarm systems, fire systems, electrical and plumbing placement.· Project manager of the design and implementation of adding an additional scored disc cell. By adding 2 score presses, 1 form press, an annealing oven, 2 temperature test ovens and a water break test structure to add 25% capacity to our existing abilities. This project's budget was around $670,000.

· I was over the ESP motor line, from winding, straightening and epoxy along with motor assembly.· Process improvements were made through tooling, machine and method updates and upgrades.· Decreased downtime and product scrap through preventative measures and tooling improvements.· Increased through-put on process by designing a seal test bench for testing.· Work closely with design engineering to make product easier to manufacture our motors, DFM.· Worked closely with managers and employees to make their areas a safer place to work.· Redesigned two motor straightening benches. This allowed for this process to increase production quantities and reduce downtime of the machines.· Designed and built pump test bench. New design that is more ergonomically correct and safer for employees to use.· Installed and ran off new motor test bench and area. Worked through issues with employees and helped them work through flow and safety issues and concerns.· Installed new motor assembly line for all premium products. Worked through safety issues and flow issues with operators and managers.

· Inspected all products leaving the shop to make sure they comply with work orders and are consistent with each other and are up to TTB standards.· Designed tooling to help control problems where they are being formed instead of trying to rework these items daily.· Made sure all paperwork was completed in accordance with ASME specifications and worked closely with A.I. (Authorized Inspector) to make sure pressure vessels complied with industry standards.· Completed final inspections of coils to insure they complied with drawings and any customer requests that may have come after issuing the work order.· Completed all calculations for each vessel and completed a folder that would stay with the company for a minimum of 3 years with all completed documentation.· Worked closely with outside inspectors to make sure customers demands were satisfied and their product was delivered on time.

· Managed day to day tasks of 4-person maintenance crew. This includes scheduling/planning out the day and managing/directing team as needed throughout the day.· Developed and implemented a preventative maintenance plan and schedule. Reduced machine down time by more than 60 percent.· Designed and implemented a work order system for maintenance that cost the company less than $500 dollars. CMMS system quotes were around $25,000 and were not as visible as the system I designed.· Project manager over cooling tower for induction bending machine. Worked closely with vendor and outside contractors to coordinate the delivery and installation of the tower.· Worked with PSO and outside contractor on project to provide the shop more 480v power along with an outside contractor to distribute that power throughout the shop.· Improved the design on a machine that saved the company over $7,500.00 per year on hydraulic oil and 10 to 12 days of down time worth about $40,000 to $75,000 of sales. The new design can be taken apart, cleaned, and reinstalled in less than 4 hours.· Obtained Lean Green Belt Certification from Lean Sensei in Vancouver, Canada.

· Project manager over re-roofing the building. Project done on time and under budget.· Attended a class for one week a month for five months for a total of 200 hours to receive a certificate as a Lean Facilitator from the Productivity Sciences Institute of Tulsa.· Designed, built and maintained jigs, fixtures and carts to improve production flow in shop.· Worked closely with other Manufacturing Engineer to improve overall process flow in shop and was starting to lead kaizen events when I took over supervisor role.· Worked closely with Engineering on special projects and re-design of products to have input for production on whether certain ideas could be made in-house or if they needed to be outsourced.· Maintained the production sheet and made updates after changes were made from Engineering.· Redesigned and reworked fixtures when Engineering made a change in the product that affected these fixtures.· Supervised a team of 10 individuals in paint shop area on day-to-day basis working overtime as needed to meet business needs.

· Learned basics of PLCs in a manufacturing environment.· Worked closely with design engineers to implement new machinery into existing coating line.· Changeovers of machines from one product to another.· Basic troubleshooting of equipment failures.· Optimized weekly/monthly/quarterly preventative maintenance measures to minimize machine downtime.
