• Developed an automated aircraft/component locator map to track production performance of all major components across the F-35 program. Utilized visual factory management techniques to show performance and trends. Created efficiencies by eliminating four other maps, leveraging current systems, and reducing labor hours by 80% (over 1,240 hours annually) while improving reliability, maintainability, and data accuracy.• Managed the F-35 Production Control War Room, responsible for tracking all part shortages with potential to cause work stoppage in production. Developed and implemented new war room format and reporting standards to track performance with the Director of Production Control to track schedule performance, corrective actions, and major constraints.• Coordinated meetings for all production control integrators to cover topics for development and integration across the entire program and to help drive towards a common process and leverage best practices. Selected topics and coordinated guest speakers/subject matter experts to lead meetings.

• Led project with subject matter experts and current business unit/program policies to create standard, common criteria applicable to the management and rating of all major subcontracts across the corporation. Project output was a comprehensive rating system now required by and incorporated into LM Corporate Policy (CRX-106, CPS-070G).• Developed the corporate return-to-green (RTG) plans for priority/focus programs with poor performing subcontracts based on the corporate-level program reporting. Created, enhanced, and reported findings of RTG plans from each business area, utilizing each business area reporting tools.• Facilitated the mapping of current state subcontract and program reporting from the program level up through business unit/area and corporate reviews. Utilized process map to illustrate inefficiency and inconsistency across the corporation in an effort to develop a common future-state solution and process.• Supported the development and finalized the new enterprise-wide Fundamentals of Subcontract Administration (FSCA) live training course. Facilitated a pilot and train-the-trainer course with representatives from each business area. Deployed new courses and coordinated all logistics/scheduling with subcontractors resulting in over 290 employees being trained.

• Managed the production, prioritization, and on-time delivery of over 1,800 cables totaling more than 4,800 labor-hours for all radar systems in production, including the live-fire competition system that won LM a $391M full-rate production contract. Sole MPM responsible for Cable/Wire/Harness (CWH) production and issue resolution.• Developed and implemented a time-phased plan for production recovery and schedule acceleration. Coordinated and executed the plan which effectively reduce cable backlog by 85% and eliminated all shortages in final assembly (156 to 0).• Supported the EQ-36 command center as sole operations lead responsible for all mod kits and significant field failures (SFI’s) that required production and delivery to deployed radar systems, including those in Iraq and Afghanistan. Successfully delivered five critical SFI’s, 27 Mod Kits, and reducing Mod Kit backlog from 13 to 0.• Teamed with represented workforce and engineering to resolve errors found in mod kit installation instructions for 17 radar systems. Each of the seven errors resolved to ensure successful install by Field Service Representatives.

• Analyzed historical defects identifying trends and major recurring issues tied to test failures. Identified three components linked to 70% of failures leading to supplier corrective actions and directed focus of quality assurance. Further analysis of field repairs found potential design weakness in specific array modules leading to further investigation by engineering.• Orchestrated the processing of 72 pieces of defective telemetry, valued at $135,000, and returned to vendor. Recorded and communicated detailed defect data to the supplier for corrective actions and relayed key information to quality team.• Managed material procurement and obsolescence issues for over $2.5 million in spares and repairs orders for government customer. Teamed with sourcing, engineering, and manufacturing to resolve all issues immediately.• Successfully managed the test, repair, sell-off (DD-250), and shipment to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) of 10 marine navigation circuit card assemblies. Coordinated work and prioritization with represented workforce, supervisor, program manager, government depot, contracts, and finance.

• Prepared and submitted formal proposals to customers for the design and manufacturing of automated machinery in response to customer request for proposal (RFP). Awarded contracts worth in excess of $750,000 and developed new business opportunities through acquisition of new work and expanding customer base.• Researched and performed cost-benefit analysis regarding a capital investment and procurement of new equipment to expand in-house capabilities in order to attract new work and reduce expenses due to outside processing.• Interpreted drawings, specifications, and requirements then contracted machining and fabrication to suppliers.

• Analyzed production data for 700+ parts determining issues in quoting, production rates, and inspection time. Identified poor-performing parts and developed priority list for improvements and contract negotiations.• Utilized detailed machine data log to diagnose major root causes of unplanned downtime and worked with operations manager to implement corrective actions resulting in a 30% increase in utilization at zero cost.• Created extensive factory layout to track assets and identify opportunities to enhance production capacity.
