I prepared documentation for French regulatory approval, coordinated inventory, equipment, & chemical shipments, trained a French process engineer and technician, provided initial set-up & trouble-shooting of equipment in France, & set up monitoring procedures for quality control.• Department Expansion, 2000: I participated in the expansion team to double production capacity in one department. I met weekly with contractors to schedule jobs with minimal interference in production activities, ordered equipment, tooling, and chemicals, provided layouts in AutoCAD, assisted the department supervisor with interviewing and training new technicians & operators, and achieved production goals for the new equipment & operators on schedule.• New Mfg Process Implementation, 1992-1999: I learned new technologies, including nickel sulfamate electroforming, YAG laser marking, & optical insert fabrication for injection molded polycarbonate lenses, created procedures & training manuals, transferred skills to operators, & helped them to reach and maintain quality & output goals. • Process Improvement Team, 1991-1992: I coached and provided technical training on the complex trifocal moldmaking process to 8 team members over 9 months, resulting in an increased product yield from 5% to 40%, reduced unit cost from > $800 to < $300, reduced throughput time from 20 weeks to 8, & eliminated all backorders.
