Examples of successfully completed Six Sigma projects:• Cost savings of over $25,000 in polyurethane encapsulation process • Reduced Printed Circuit Board component placement errors by 85%• Reduced receiving inspection lead time from five days to one day utilizing lean techniquesExperience:• Supervise three quality engineers responsible for all aspects of quality system, one failure analysis technician responsible for factory rejects and field returns and two quality technicians responsible for incoming and in-process inspections• Led over thirty separate corrective action projects which have resulted in an 82% reduction in first pass yield element test failures since the beginning of this year. Continue to lead nonconformance reduction through use of detailed process analysis using FMEA tool which has spun off several projects such as Automated optical Inspection equipment purchase, process checklists and stencil replacement program.• Designated as Project Manager to transfer mobile products from our Canadian plant, during the execution of which, I utilized project management tools such as SIPOC development, PERT diagramming and GANTT Charts resulting smooth transition with no degradation to product quality and no missed shipments to customers. • Trained team members in the use of problem solving tools such as interpretation of statistical process control charts, Measurement Systems Analysis, Cause & Effect Diagrams, Pareto Distributions used as a prioritizing tool, 5 Why's and Fault Trees and other tools.• Developed and implemented Layered Process Audits, Material Review Board and Warranty Returns and Analysis.

-Plastic injection molding, high speed progressive stamping, reel-to-reel electrical contact gold plating and assembly - Revolutionary fusion of Statistical Process Control and Six Sigma that can dramatically reduce project time to completion by up to a factor of ten. This holds true whether the project is for manufacturing, administration or transactional processes- QS/ISO-9000 and TS 16949 Systems development, implementation and auditing - New Product Development and Launch- Use and train others in all quality assurance core tools such as: Measurement Systems Analysis, Statistical Process Control, Advanced Product and Process Quality Planning, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and Root Cause Corrective Action- Kaizen, Lean Manufacturing - Project Management - Supplier Quality Management with cost-based performance metrics- Plant start-up from brick and mortar to full, profitable production

Positions Held: Director of Quality, Quality Manager, Supplier Quality Manager, Senior Product Assurance Engineer• Launched, utilizing project management techniques, three automotive seating plant and one interior trim plant incorporating just-in-time production systems and in-sequence delivery systems leading to customer approval and 500 mm in sales.• Managed a staff of five Quality Engineers • Member of core team which achieved ISO 9001 and QS 9000 certification.• Member of core team which developed comprehensive New Product Introduction project management template.• Managed PPAP and Supplier Process Verification Program for one hundred twenty plus suppliers resulting in improved product quality delivered to the assembly plants and supplier accountability.• Decreased end-of-line rejects by as much as 85% at principal supplier by application of team-oriented problem resolution techniques.

Worked my way up from Press Operator to Line Inspector to Test Technician to Lay Out Inspector to Quality Supervisor to Quality Engineer.
