• Controlled $2M annual budget with typical 10% year-end under-run.

Rochester, NY

• Department manager of pilot-production operation; its primary mission to support development activities driven by commercialization and current engineering teams for smooth transition to high-volume, world-wide.
• Managed entire manufacturing flow – including planning, purchasing, inventory control, quality, engineering, maintenance, and operations for both injection molding and assembly/packing functions.
• Led team to ensure flexibility to meet all requirements as specified by engineering teams, and ensure production of saleable product exceeded all cost, quality, and delivery goals.
• Supervised six direct reports (two first-level supervisors); total headcount of 40.

Rochester, NY

• Led cross-functional product team to continuously improve product cost, quality, and delivery performance for several camera models with an annual volume of 40M units.
• Modeled the use of good manufacturing practices (cost, quality and delivery metrics, OEE, corrective and preventive action, standard procedures, change control, etc.) for improved product performance.
• Co-led the organization’s first ever kaizen achieving a 98% reduction in setup time. Led three additional kaizens achieving similar results that enabled the implementation of Heijunka.
• Traveled to Mexico as "kaizen expert"; improved hybrid manual/automated line productivity by 39%.
• Planned and executed the relocation of production equipment valued in excess of $10M and comprising 100K sqft of floor space to a new facility. The move was completed six weeks ahead of schedule, 40% under the labor.
