• Instrumental in the design and establishment of a cutting edge polymeric ophthalmic manufacturing facility through utilization of a levelized production line, resulting in a uniform production practice and elimination.
• Spearheaded the creation of all standard operating procedures (SOP’s) and executed training on all SOP’s, including documentation of training with an emphasis on providing guidance and coaching.
• Conducted cycle time assessments by utilizing value stream mapping, reducing cycle times by minimizing excessive movements and eliminated non-value-added steps to continuously make process improvements.
• Improved production from yields through root cause and corrective action techniques to eliminate all defects.
• Effective in successfully coordinating product transition from R&D, to pilot plant, and finally large-scale production by utilizing cGMP.
• Created in conjunction with R&D scientist batch and formulation records, resulting in an increase in formulation volumes from 15 lbs. to 50 lbs.

• Served as subject matter expert regarding chemical conversion coating, paint and epoxy finishes.
• Supported all internal and regulatory audits in the chemical processing departments.
• Coordinated with design engineering to drive changes regarding issues impacting product integrity.
• Responsible for identifying alternate solutions to mitigate quality and schedule risk.
• Identify Root Cause Corrective Actions (RCCA) using processes such as Corrective Action Mistake-Proofing.
• Designed documents outlining operational step by step method sheets and work instructions for manufacturing products.

• Assist in developing and conducting team-based process improvement and cost reduction initiatives.
• Research, design, develop, improve, and implement continuous process improvement in selected processes. Utilize the principles of Six Sigma DMAIC and/or Lean Manufacturing toward developing process solutions in a team.
• Assist production personnel through new manufacturing processes and help in developing measurements/metrics for evaluating progress.
• Perform statistical analysis of production trends to anticipate process variability and develop mitigation plans.
• Assist in developing illustrations, product flow diagrams and other visual cues for use by team members and support personnel in a Visual Factory environment.
• Analyze the value stream, including capability, capacity, throughput, work flow and logistics to recommend integrated solutions.
