Holley was pleased with my contributions as a co-op student and offered a full time position immediately after graduation. Engineered/implemented an innovative approach for intake manifold manufacturing within first two years as an employee, saving the company over $300k per year. The approach was Lean and radical at the time yet very common today, using a trunnion style 5-axis machining center to reduce number of operations and consolidate workholding. New cell could produce 50 SKU's at full volume with 2 CNC machines and 5 sets of workholding. Old method required 5 CNC machines, 10 manual machines, and 30+ sets of fixtures. Reduced setup time from 60 minutes to 3 minutes, reduced scrap by 80%, etc.Project above became launch pad for a corporate Lean initiative, Green/Black Belt training program, and multiple successful projects.
