I focus on providing the new product introduction teams with Industrial Engineering principles for new product design, process, layout, equipment, and human capability. I trained the design engineers on the principles of design for manufacturing and assembly to achieve our objectives for part count reduction, ease of assembly, and manufacturability. I lead cross-functional teams to develop right sized equipment, workstation design, labor planning, material flow, standardized work, and ensuring that all equipment/processes are implemented with health & safety and ergonomics in mind. Successfully implemented four major appliance new product introductions in dishwasher and laundry platforms.

Dearborn, Michigan, Us

Developed and implemented annual manpower reductions through continuous rebalance improvement efficiencies and engineering projects. In addition to, working with the new model launch teams on the assembly cycle line layouts, labor, tooling requirements, quality check points, ergonomics, and work allocations. Managed and implemented the engineering change process for the shop floor.Resolved daily plant process, tooling, and ergonomic issues utilizing root cause analysis and problem solving tools. Directed union skilled trades on all facility projects within the Truck Final Area. Developed and maintained operator work instructions, work element sheets, and job skills assessment sheets for 336 Trim Shop hourly employees.

Alpharetta, Georgia, Us

Drove production process improvements through the use of root cause analysis, leading process improvement teams, and facilitating the use and implementation of effective problem solving tools (e.g. Design of Experiments, PFMEA, Value Stream Mapping, Kepnor Tregnoe, 8Ds, SPC, 5S, and 5 Whys)
