Sedro-Woolley, Washington, Us

Worked closely with Engineering Manager and Manufacturing Engineers on various projects, including research related to machining of composite laminates. Studied various aspects of cutting tools and machining that relate specifically to the composites industry and composite laminates. Reported summarized findings to engineering group.Investigated the cutter tool practices of a long-term project, summarized findings and suggested areas for further analysis. This report contributed to eventual improvements made, which resulted in substantial savings in annual cutter tool costs for the project. Developed materials and documents for a technical presentation that was given by the company at a conference for industry professionals. Assisted Kaizen efforts related to company-wide cutter tool practices. Analyzed historical cost/usage data to verify the scope of team's work was focused on items that showed highest-potential annual cost-benefit.
