● Supplier Quality Engineer activities coordinating 8D and corrective actions with supplier engagement and supplier audits. My most rewarding activity was helping a supplier resolve a failure mode with a key component by visiting their facility, reviewing process controls, analyzing their existing data in a Design of Experiments (DOE) model to prove their process would provide a significant percentage of defects (caused by product design) and encouraged a post-cure process to bring the likely failures to zero.● As a Reliability Engineer I created Accelerated Life Test (ALT) Profiles including HASS test chamber profiles to targeted accelerated factors and evaluation of ALT I evaluated results using Weibull and zero failure methods to estimate characteristic life.● Process Quality expert including leading PFMEA teams during production line creation and improvement activities. Use of MSA to validate end of line tests before use in production. Completion of Product Capability (Cpk) Analysis to understand the specific component behavior before recommending changes. ● Customer Interface and Completion of Customer Corrective Action requests. One of my teams solved a product problem with an existing design that had been a problem since project launch several years prior and had cost relationships with large customers. My team created a special test chamber and test method to measure the effect of a static charge on plastic. Our DOE testing and models showed us that the failure could not be programmed out and a setting on the chip needed to be enabled to reset the device.

Customers include the Department of Defense, Bath Iron Work, and Huntington-Ingalls, and Newport News.• Administration of procedure development for ISO9001.• Development of Quality Management System Database in Access with Inspection Reports, Calibration Records, Improvement Program, RMA Records, Control of Nonconforming Product, and Record Control available at every computer in the company.• Administration of Calibration Program, and calibration of Calipers and Micrometers.• Administration of Inspection of Assembly, Machining, Welding, Brazing, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Paint, Wiring, and all outsourced processes including foundry.• Administration of Quality Management System in compliance with Mil-I-45208A.• Administration of Internal Audits of procedures, and internal audits.• Process Capability Analysis to determine if parts could be made to meet customer specifications.• Management Representative for the quality management system including external audits.• Create Process improvement program for ISO9001 using Six Sigma controls. • Completion of project to improve the casting process of an aluminum part at an outside supplier. The tooling was owned by US Pioneer, and the parts were consistently out of specification. I completed Cpk analysis which showed me the characteristics of the tooling. I requested the tooling to verify my findings. I used a local tooling supplier to provide me with tooling that was dimensionally precise. In the end, we were able to achieve dimensional accuracy within the specifications.• Manage one full-time inspector.

This company produces exhaust, inlet, and filter houses, for gas turbine power plants. Customers include GE, GE Europe, Siemens, and Mitsubishi Heavy equipment.• Analyzed and Published company quality metrics.• Completion of Manufacturing Process Plan and Inspection Test Plan of production processes. This step by step plan helped ensure the quality fabrication of our product and included Quality Alerts and Inspection Points. • Verification of contractor of WPS and PQR for AWS Standards. Verification of correct welding methods and materials. • Completion of Packaging Standards for protection and of product while in storage and in transit. • Completion of process mapping of company procedures. Not only did this meet the ISO9001 requirements, but it allowed for better management of operations. • Provide support for manufacturing in Mexico, China, and Bahrain.• I was responsible to complete a Six Sigma project to reduce the number of defects in our design and drafting processes. This was challenging because initiative was not fully supported by the top management (although they specifically requested it). I had to negotiate through every step of the DMAIC model and did not always obtain the best possible solution. • Estimated cost of projects from 4/2007 to 11/2008 when things became slow and I began to assist the Quality Department.

This company produces industrial band saws. •I was hired because management had a long term goal of implementing lean manufacturing systems. I did complete a report and flow charts on all production processes to detail the existing production processes for management. Next, I completed a report outlining the process changes that would have to be implemented to become a lean company.•I was responsible to schedule production on all welded subassemblies. Using a proprietary ERP system, I made sure that the raw materials were available and then created the routings for the parts throught the machine and weld shops. I often modified the routings if materials or machines were unavailable to use alternates to meet delivery goals.
