Mike Cooke Email and Phone Number

I developed technical process designs for front and rear suspension module systems utilizing robotic and manual applications in this position. Employing automated cart systems, conveyance systems, and torque operations, I optimize mobility. I boost the precision of data by designing a system layout in AutoCAD. In addition, I bring value to technical analysis by producing MS Excel-based cycle time assessments. I promote a strategically-driven workforce by administering the award documents and launch briefings for the engineering department.Key Achievements: • Delivered additional $450K in engineering and construction adjustments by drafting multiple change quotations. • Provided technical support in order to achieve multimillion-dollar suspension project. • Simplified client onboarding by maintaining open issues list and reviewing during weekly progress meetings.• Maintained all pertinent processing documentation and communicated all changes with design, simulation, and pm teams.

During my tenure, I maintained project time cycles by facilitating the on-time provision of deliverables and managing project milestones. I coordinated work prioritizing by employing Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project's task tracking tools. I eliminated project risks and delays through coordination and oversight of vendor deliverables. In addition, I demonstrated expertise with Siemens products (UG, Vis MockUp, Process Designer, Process Simulate). I validated the design timing performance by examining all potential avenues for timing violations. Using PFMEAs, I identified and reduced risks associated with process changes. Furthermore, I was responsible for processing team duties such as master process papers, control diagrams, and weld gun selection. I ensured timetable adherence by organizing meetings with key suppliers of drive and cooling equipment. I facilitated the identification of process enhancements by creating cycle time charts for operators and robotic equipment. I also assured successful weld allocation utilizing material stack-ups and metal thickness regulations (GMT).Key Achievements: • As the Gun Coordinator, handled all communications with the weld gun manufacturer to guarantee accurate designs and timely delivery.• Developed cost-effective solutions to remain within budget by collaborating with all departments (simulation/tooling/controls/layout). • Refined forecasting and resource management by producing cost estimates for variances and supervising personnel allocations.• Eliminated variables and bottlenecks by troubleshooting process complexities. • Enabled continuous strategic planning by directing development of tracking matrix for components of forecasting tools.• Assured on time initiative execution and optimized task management by creating action plans for schedule deviations. • Guaranteed accuracy of data delivered to clients by implementing process modifications in collaboration with simulation department.

I designed new and improved existing automated assembly techniques in my capacity. I streamlined resource flow by establishing production cells for BIW in accordance with volume and cost constraints. By optimizing existing cells, I increased operator usage and efficiency, material flow, and space restrictions. I also predicted the completion of the process by producing cycle time charts for different MIG and spot welding applications. I created system layouts using AutoCAD 2014 to prevent design flaws. I provided support for management using ergo charts. I developed and constructed system setups for weld cells.Key Achievements: • Effectively managed operator safety studies, weld matrices, build sheets, and RWDs.• Steered seamless program execution by designing process image documentation. • Obtained Real-time input by facilitating customer process review meetings. • Minimized cycle time and earned outstanding balance payment of $1.1M by resolving cycle time difficulties on 14 robot weld cells.

Successfully started and built a property preservation company from two to eight employees, maintaining foreclosed properties for immediate sale. Sold the rights to the client list in 2011.

• Liaison between engineering, manufacturing and purchasing departments for any engineering changes, and thoroughly tracked all items throughout lead time.• Issue RFQs, initiate negotiations with multiple vendors, issue purchase orders​Design Engineer Feb 2004-May 2005• 3-D modeling, detailing, and checker changes using AutoCAD, Mechanical Desktop, Inventor and SolidWorks. Maintain component directories.
