(ie: A supplier recently changed an indirect material negatively affected JCI factories in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Worked through a detailed 8D corrective action program to resolve the issue in only a few weeks as well as trained that suppliers management team in problem solving techniques) Show less

Customers needed to replace old, existing tooling or parts that no longer had design documentation to rebuild. This method provides our customers with a design for their product, replicating the original within .003” and removing the guesswork • Conduct internal ISO audits. Uncovered and corrected various issues prior to Surveillance Audits, thus always maintaining certification. Coordinated ISO program to make sure internal and external findings were resolved in an appropriate amount of time. Provided training to others on how to determine the “Root Cause” of problems and bring issues to conclusion. Show less
