I was tasked with the charter to develop a Lean construction process that ensures every Liquid Mud Plant (LMP) is designed, constructed, installed and commissioned: - Compliant to corporate, international, local engineering and Health, Safety & Environmental standards. - Cost effectively, on budget, and on time. - With maintenance plan and standard work procedures in place.Working in a Lean group, we developed a 6-phase Lean Construction… Show more I was tasked with the charter to develop a Lean construction process that ensures every Liquid Mud Plant (LMP) is designed, constructed, installed and commissioned: - Compliant to corporate, international, local engineering and Health, Safety & Environmental standards. - Cost effectively, on budget, and on time. - With maintenance plan and standard work procedures in place.Working in a Lean group, we developed a 6-phase Lean Construction Process that defined required documents, plans and outcomes running on a consolidated timeline. Over 11 years, I managed the department, handling over 100 million dollars of Liquid Mud Plant construction projects. I personally handled over 30 million dollars of global projects that included: - Georgetown, Guyana: Development of Liquid Mud Plant shore base, working with multiple product lines - Monahans, Texas: Dry Bulk, Rail and Warehouse Facility - Namibia, Africa: Portable Liquid Mud Plant - Mauritania, Africa: Port Expansion and Liquid Mud Plant Show less

Responsible for developing, coordinating and implementing lean improvement plans for projects in the North America market in additions to training of employees in Lean Tools.- Redesigned and taught a Lean Yellow Belt training program, that featured 20 hours of Lean Manufacturing training, hands-on simulation relevant to the plant, and an improvement kaizen project required for certification. - Led and implemented the company's strategic deployment plans as related to manufacturing… Show more Responsible for developing, coordinating and implementing lean improvement plans for projects in the North America market in additions to training of employees in Lean Tools.- Redesigned and taught a Lean Yellow Belt training program, that featured 20 hours of Lean Manufacturing training, hands-on simulation relevant to the plant, and an improvement kaizen project required for certification. - Led and implemented the company's strategic deployment plans as related to manufacturing in the North America market. - Led and facilitated improvement kaizen events based on strategic priority of root cause analysis that resulted in point of use inventory system, standard work documentation and visual tracking systems.- Large Plug Valve Cell Design - reduced backlog by 70%, reduced manufacturing lead-time by 34%, and increased throughput by 23%.- Line Plug Valve Cell - Increased throughput from 6 valves per hour average to 8 valves per hour average with load leveling.- Led just do it events and sustain changes. Examples of these events, 5S, point of use tools in production cells, standard work play book. - Worked with engineering and IT to develop a quality tracking system that combined both computer system tracking and shop floor quality tracking to define first pass yields in different cell areas and the rolled throughput yield of different product lines.
