● Oversees facility operations. Established a cross functional team to evaluate special processescritical controls/parameters, facility capability, capacity constraints and compliance to Federal, State and City regulatory requirements. This resulted in identification of 4 key process parameters required to maintain peak plating performance, 40% improvement in plating solution titration accuracy, 100% throughput increase on EPI gold plated parts, and creation of new procedures and chemical process maps that brought recognition to Hammon Plating as the leader in chemical and waste water management in Bay Area.● Managed cross functional team for improving customer relations, resulting in over 35% increase inquality and on-time delivery of semiconductor tubes.● Created a team for restructuring solid waste removal process resulting in over a 50% cost reduction.● Facilitated a cross functional team which implemented a state-of-the-art ERP management system improving accounts payable and receivable transactions by over 30% and traveler / work instruction documentation by over 50%.● Established a financial costing system that ensures accurate pricing and consistent profit margins for services performed.● Developed integrated solutions to meet customer requirements for new processes.

● Developed Strategic and Tactical plans for the installation of a $2.2 million automated chemline for aerospace and semiconductor industry. Managed a cross functional team and created vertical integrated system for in-house processing that included anodization, conversion coatings, electropolishing, passivation, nital etch inspection, patch testing and cleaning processes. Resulted in over 30% cost savings and over 55% reduced turn time for parts requiring anodization.● Provided engineering / technical support for above processes including development of internal procedures and specifications.● Managed the implementation of the chemline. Identified potential contractors, negotiated pricing and finalized supplier agreement contracts. Worked with city and fire department engineers to receive operational permits.● Developed Documentation for ISO and NADCAP certifications.● Audited, developed and approved outside suppliers to support other production requirements.● Managed production schedules for 24/7 coverage. Hired and managed personnel including, chemist, operators, senior technicians and maintenance personnel.● Facilitated cross functional teams to develop a periodic maintenance program and a paperless operation method sheet system.

● Worked with other department experts to develop and establish a Special ProcessSupplier Approval Program including procedures and work instructions to meet ISO requirements.Assessed suppliers in 3 areas: Quality, Operations Capability and Technical Expertise. ● Managed personnel performing capacity studies on special process suppliers.● Developed paint specification. Created new paint standards and colors in powder and liquid paints.● Identified and resolved 2 year projected $1.4 million warranty issue by identifying root causes in the manufacturing process, inspection methods and work instructions.● Established electron beam welding capability with supplier. Selected, negotiated andpurchased equipment and oversaw installation.● Managed a team of people and launched a program to eliminate bottlenecks on 130 single sourced parts.● Identified and resolved supplier’s technical and quality issues yielding 100% satisfaction from a major customer. Improved process in over 50 areas and established a Supplier Roadmap and Process Improvement Plan for managing completion of all issues.● Negotiated price reduction on transfer chamber resulting in $85,000 savings / year.● Resolved supplier delivery issues impacting material pull-in resulting in 100% on-time delivery tocustomers by reducing lead time from 3 weeks to 1 week.● Managed personnel and initiated program to monitor special process supplier capacity andperformance (quality, delivery, lead time and inventory). Increased cleaning capacity by 300% whichsurpassed the goal of 100%.● Hired, trained and facilitated an Austin-based supplier management group which accomplished 81capacity assessments on critical processes. Developed capacity business plans for 32 key suppliers.● Communicated supplier capacity to manufacturing directors (internal customers) resulting in 100% sign-off and approval of supplier capacity business plans.

● Served as technical/manufacturing consultant to engineering, manufacturing and outside suppliers to determine root cause and corrective actions on rejects and to develop process improvements.● Created and maintained operation method sheets (OMS’s) and processed control cards for painting, cleaning, sanding, lapping, grit blasting, thermal spraying, tank / selective plating, and pressure testing processes.● Facilitated set-up reduction teams that decreased set-up time by as much as 83%.● Designed, purchased and managed an internal Metallurgical Laboratory resulting in 2 week lead time reduction on new manufactured parts and 10% decrease in escapes.● Reviewed engineering drawings. Developed and revised specifications, tool designs and rework/repair routings. Developed internal documentation requirements and received ISO registration on 1st audit.

● Developed TQM program for Jet Engine Aircraft and APU Overhaul and Repair Facility.● Institutionalized the TQM program by training nearly 8000 personnel. Facilitating cross functionalteams on 4 Air Force Bases. Results - Won President’s Quality Award (Malcolm Baldridge Award)● Provided program results and status updates to the 2 Star General on a bi-monthly basis.● Trained Colonels and executive management. Managed instructors and developed training plan forsupervisors and shop personnel.● Chaired and facilitated TQM Executive Committee meetings and established TQM Directorate level office and supervised 10 facilitators/instructors.● Established the first Process Action Teams and implemented Statistical Process Control (SPC).

● Served as NDI Program Manager over 3 Business Units (Managed 3 supervisors and 49 staff).● Responsible for all inspections on jet engines and aircraft.● Established inspection procedures and performed NDI training and certification.● Initiated first time use of real time x-ray and Industrial Computerized Tomography (CT) Scancapability for the Air Force resulting in more sophisticated inspection of parts.

● Engineered and managed implementation of $1.4 million automated plasma spray system. This firstof-its-kind system was totally automated and increased production by 30% and decreased downtime by 95%. Identified and resolved all safety and production problems with equipment manufacturer within 3 months of installation. Briefed 17 scientific advisors to the President of the United States.● Developed repairs for engine/aircraft components to meet fast turn requirements.
