Served as a material quality manager. • Known commodity for routinely resolving critical path issues across the factory. • Developed FAI training materials and trained multiple individuals in performing FAI reviews. • Developed comprehensive procedure for processing PRISM F2-R receiving inspection rejects. • Reduced Largo PRISM QN RTV flow rate from 65 days to 7 days. Also reduced the number of QNs in backlog from 260 to 78.• Substantially reduced the number of Largo supplier fault PRISM QNs from 1106 to 642 from 2014 to 2015. Primarily achieved by developing QN run rules and a checklist to ensure proper fault categorization was performed in the beginning of the process. Estimated cost avoidance of $371k.• Identified programs were impacted due to added source inspection causing increased delays and increased costs for the mature Aberdeen programs and the excellent supplier ratings and return history did not justify the increased supplier surveillance costs. Worked to remove source and clean up Qnotes and wrong universal commodity codes. Estimated cost avoidance $468k.
