Projects included components, sub-systems, systems and full machine technology areas for developing VPD Tools and Processes for the enterprise. Simulation processes are deployed in product groups to reduce waste, improve quality and efficiency in product development. Strategy & Planning: Developed Vision, Mission, CSFs and MGPP for the VPD Program. Engaged and collaborated over 46 groups across the enterprise. Developed strategy, planning, execution and technology deployment processes. Execution: Savings $56M. Collected and managed pool funding from business units. Increased funding and expanded business scope. Closed gaps in technology by completing 60 new projects a year. Managed 16 technology group owners and over 40 planning team members. Executed annual planning process. Deployment: Savings $26M. Simulation Control Summary (SCS) in FMEA: Led the team to develop over 500 Simulation process summaries from across the corporation. Combined SCS's with mapped test controls in a single database. Integrated database into corporate FMEA tool where designers would pick appropriate simulation controls to mitigate design risks. As a result, the simulation usage increased in FMEA by 14% within only 6 months and a similar reduction in iron controls also occurred. Enterprise Simulation Strategy Development: Participated in Enterprise Simulation Strategy Development project. Conducted SWAT analysis and bench marking. Engaged executive management to get the buy in. Developed simulation vision of "Simulation Powered Product Development. Analysis/Simulation/Test Forum (Annual): Led the planning & execution of AST forum New technology, networking, collaboration, keynote speakers. Expanded the scope, participation increased from 200 to 1100 product development engineers. Increased collaboration, increased Test participation by 25%, increased Design participation by 28%.
