-Participated and Championed 8d's involving production quality standards using root cause analysis to develop and implement long term corrective solutions-Designed, developed, and implemented a SPC training program to educate operators on how to use SPC to identify trends, and evaluate for quality concerns-Participated and lead on three separate new product launch teams representing manufacturing, engineering, and quality to perform engineering trials, and production trials to flawless launch products into production-Designed, developed, and implemented a Total Preventative Maintenance Program which reduced unexpected downtime, and overtime-Monitored, tracked, and analyzed key departmental performance metrics including scrap, downtime, overtime, and productivity and reported out to upper management with action plans to improve each month-Developed and improved control plans, and PFMEAs to accurately reflect current process controls and to identify key risks in each process-Updated Bill of Materials and cycle times in SAP based off DOEs, long term usage, time studies, and correct initial launch calculation errors to reduce inventory, and production run rate variation-Developed, implemented, and improved current standard operating procedures based off the results of DOE, customer complaints, and ergonomics to reduce variation between operators-Designed, developed, and implemented continuous improvement suggestions from manufacturing operators to reduce scrap, improve quality, and improve efficiency through the use of designing new tooling, fixtures, standardizing quality acceptance criteria, modifying workflow, and improving 5S-Participated in customer visits to demonstrate process improvements, new product launches, responses to CAR, and PSOs-Developed, tested, and implemented localization of tooling to the United States, from Japan, based off statistical analysis, and cost benefit analysis

Clover, Sc

•Created, and Updated Bill of Materials, Routing, and Routing Sets in SAP for newly released and existing parts•Created control specifications for new prototype brake pads, compounds, operating parameters, and SPC files to record data•Trained in TS16949, Zero Defects, 5S and Continuous Improvement•Designed, modeled, and created prototype pads while communicating with sales, and purchasing to ensure that prototype orders were finished and delivered on schedule•Provided Engineering support for prototype and production problems•Reduced Scrap from 45% to 13% on high volume OE parts•Participated in the design, and implantation of several DOE that resulted in switching over to new production powder, reducing pressure to reduce cracking which resulted in lower scrap, and establishing temperature controls for molding parts to prevent part failures•Participated and Championed 8d's involving production quality standards using root cause analysis to develop and implement solutions•Initiated, and followed through on ECO's to eliminate unnecessary routing operations based off extensive testing•Participated in the implementation of a PPAP for new tooling

•Improved yearly sales by 5.2%•Created labor, sales, training, and weekly performance reports to analyze store performance and locate areas for improvement•Interviewed, trained, and hired employees in an effort to constantly improve the team•Created employee schedule for 24 employees•Raised Secret-Shopper audits that were performed twice a week from an initial 0% to 70%, and from 70% to 100% within a 2 month time frame
