Troy, Michigan

Specialized Dimensional Study Software and GD&T Consultant.

I prepared the company for ISO 9001-2008 re-certification which we achieved in November 2010. I also directed the creation of a Quality Manual for the AS 9100 B and C. In addition I coordinated the effort to certify the company in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for new business in the power generation industry by working with the Hartford Boiler engineers to develop the BPVC Quality Manual for Thermo Vac. The manual was completed in October 2010 and the stamps arrived in November 2010. This prepared Thermo Vac to acquire the special ASME BPVC stamps for work in a specialized business requiring exact documentation and scrutiny. In addition to these new initiatives I am tracking the daily non-conformances in plant operations and the monies lost in rework, additional materials used, and overtime costs related to reworks and late materials. I also have responsibility for rewriting all of the quality department's responsibilities in receiving inspection, shipping inspection, and daily production quality reports for each type of product and have implemented a KANBAN system for incoming parts and assemblies. I rewrote the job descriptions and instructions for all plant personnel. I also directed plant efforts in 5S Workplace Organization in accordance with AS9100 B and C.

I use CATIA V5 to cut sections and measure detail parts and assemblies to determine whether the GD&T, assigned tolerances and the Build Objectives created by the customer are achievable.

I was area manager for Tool and Die Tryout, Die Construction, Small and Large Machines, Weld Gun Construction, Die Mechanical Device, Checking Fixture Construction and Technical Engineering Support for the Blank and Shear and ASR System. I directed validation of production stampings and fabricated assemblies..

I directed the Functional Evaluation Engineering Activity team at multi-site assembly plants, ensuring proper assembly of detail part, sub-assemblies and full body and led root-cause-analysis problem solving and recommended improvements to fabrication, tooling and interior and exterior trim installation.
