• Control of Production Operation KPIs - Control of HC vs. Hours Paid; UPH vs. Efficiency; Hours Paid vs. Expenses (Asset Depreciation, Tooling, etc.); BOM/Routing to reflect Material Variance.
• Led multiple projects to successfully develop a new product by coordinating tasks such as designing, testing, transferring production processes - Product Design Creation/Testing; Manufacturing Oracle Setup for new.
• Formulated and established project delivery criteria, including Risk Assessment, Critical Pathway Identification and Resource Analysis.
• Led systematic molding root cause analysis and Six Sigma initiatives to optimize critical molding solutions, mold repairs, new mold debugging, mold designs, and core/cavity dimensional adjustments focusing on reducing.
• Comprehensive training for Direct Report personnel, focusing on advanced competencies in Project Management, Technical Expertise (Molding Process, Tooling, and Part Design), Statistical Analysis (DOE, ANOVA, Cpk, Ppk).

Created and Implemented a new Mold Build process flow that reduced the Mold build projects lead time. Trained 12 people on mold design principles.Created and Implemented a new part engineering evaluation process that reduces the molds rework due to poor part design. This new process includes reverse engineering, FEA Evaluation, and stack-up analysis to.
