Improved yield reported from the pourline from 78% to 85% through improving accuracy of measurements and reporting as well as improving process efficiencies.Initiated practices and modified formulas that resulted in an improvement from a net loss of $3.57M vs standard costs in 2010 to over $2.5M positive variance over standard costs in 2011.Added.

Work closely with program sponsors and engineers to develop, modify, and improve technologies in environmental controls with respect to catalytic converters to meet with customer requirements in an ISO14001/TS16949 company. A working knowledge of chemical behaviors and a strong ability to communicate in all facets is needed to execute assigned tasks..

Direct and oversee the foam production supervising 8 skilled chemical operators and 1 professional chemist for an ISO9001-2000 certified chemical processor. Participated in a continuous improvement programs resulting in 5% yield improvement and reduction in quality related credits. Also responsible for overseeing safety, maintenance, calibrations.

Primary tasks include the supervision of 8 skilled chemical operators and oversight of foam productions for an ISO9001-2000 certified chemical processor. This includes the oversight of both personnel and processes therein, and knowledge of chemical formulations, reactivity and processing equipment e.g. pumps, mixers, tanks, compressors and heat exchangers.

Have assisted with the execution of multiple key projects on the pilot level related to formulation development, reactivity, and equipment processing in an attempt to move new product ideas to the manufacturing level within an ISO 9001-2000 certified chemical processor. Participated in departmental safety programs resulting in no injuries in 4 years..

Tasks include the operation of pilot plant equipment and assisting in the development of projects as assigned by technical directors and engineers.
