About Richard Bachman

A unique background having started my career as an Electronics Technician working with NC Machine Tools, Robotics, and Medical Imaging. From there I progressed into Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, Quality Management and ultimately to the North America Regional Quality Manager. This diverse background affords me the experience to work with and build teams and systems at any level. In my current role I am both Managing day to day Quality functions in my base facility as well as coordinating Quality teams and efforts in other facilities including ITW Fastex in Des Plaines IL, Juarez Mexico and Dongguan China (visited plant 29 times). With this position brings the opportunity for standardization in systems, taking the best systems and implementing them across all facilities to provide common platforms as well as avoid needless development time. My belief it is to lead by example, I do not ask anyone to do anything I wouldn’t and I am not afraid to work side by side as a team to mentor and achieve results.Key Processes: First Pass Yield, Cost of Poor Quality (scrap, rework, special processes, returns), PPM, 5S, Safety, Supplier Quality, Customer Corrective Actions…..
