NYSE:APH a full service electronics manufacturer for Aerospace and Defense industries. Services include the design and manufacturing of a large variety of products from circuit card assemblies, ruggedized displays, harnesses and cables to fully integrated turn-key assemblies. Production Cell Leader Responsibilities include the hiring, training in assembly techniques, supervision, and quality of thirty full-time inspectors, operators, and assemblers according to specifications and customer requirements. Scheduled labor and tasks to operators to ensure daily production needs are met. Conducted reviews of employees as to their performance and goals moving forward. Collaborated with Quality and Engineering to maintain and improve key metrics.Improved assembly processes by re-engineering a work balance and time studies of the assembly, resulting in a 30% increase in production output.I optimized and managed assembly resource staff daily to achieve a 30% increase in production over a six month period exceeding production goals by 20%, by continuously improving labor schedules.I initiated improvements in manufacturing processes and staff optimization to significantly reduce costs by reducing assembly staff from 30 associates on three shifts to 21 associates on one shift in six months, while still meeting increasing production goals.Led a quality improvement team of test engineers to create an assembly testing process that improved assembly quality from a 92% post completion failure rate when I started the position to a 0 -2% post assembly rate within two months of starting the quality improvement project. Improved cell-work-group engagement and retention, reducing involuntary turnover by 20% through developing and implementing a feedback survey tool to capture staff recommendations for suggested improvements in procedures, policies and work processes.
