Automotive acoustics•Developed, tested and project managed implementation of new products and new production processes for automotive acoustical components.• Complete program management responsibility in addition to initial investigation of a supplier/ contractor for the process. Eventually, due to cost constraints, I took responsibility for development, fabrication, test and installation of the process saving $1,000,000. That success lead to additional production lines for a new customer that I invented new process techniques and implemented. Line installations also expanded to two additional facilities. Recognition was given as first domestic long-term status supplier for Honda Automotive. Project cost per line of $2,000,000.• Product manufacturing lines in two US and one Canadian facility. Project cost $8,000,000.
