-Initiated and/or had active roles on 3 of the Top 12 vehicle defect cross-functional teams. As a team, reduced Defects per Vehicle by 32% which led to a increase in production volume by 44%, all while helping in Tesla's first profitable quarter in company history.-Created 13% of General Assembly process documentation to standardize processes, eliminate defects, and improve production workflow.-Helped rapidly develop and institutionalize Quality Standards to drastically improve the manufacturing, quality and cost performance of the Model S by reducing defect count, time in repair, cost of vehicle throughput and improve cycle time. -Developed the metric to monetize value of vehicle defects through repair and service time that is now monitored by the executive board.-Created temporary and permanent countermeasures to multiple Vehicle Defects.-Designed and executed statistical experiments on vehicle quality standards, analyzing data using Statistical Process Control (SPC).
