Took on a pivotal role in supporting the manufacturing line for Boston Scientific's AMS 800 device. My primary focus was designing and creating a fixture to reduce variation between product builders, ensuring consistent and high-quality manufacturing. This fixture represented the initial step towards semi automation, with the aim of optimizing production efficiency and product uniformity.Key Contributions:*Pioneered automation initiative, introducing a fixture to streamline manual processes.*Achieved significant benefits, including reduced scrap, accelerated training for new builders, reduced cycle time, and standardized, more efficient production methods.*Applied problem-solving and root cause analysis to address complex challenges, fostering continuous process improvement.*Gathered and analyzed data, presenting findings to peers and management, leveraging data-driven insights.*Developed project management skills, effectively planning, organizing, and prioritizing tasks to meet deadlines while effectively communicating and conveying ideas and progress to diverse stakeholders.*Adapted seamlessly to a dynamic environment, embracing learning agility and continuous growth.
