• Qualified the first four American electrode production lines. Gained approval for trial production and final shipment by presenting findings to local and international management respectively. This brought sustained.
• Cut loss rates by 70 - 90% across 7 process areas and 4 production lines. Increased line output by up to 80%. Coordinated corrective actions and engineering… Show more
• Cut loss rates by 70 - 90% across 7 process areas and 4 production lines. Increased line output by up to 80%. Coordinated corrective actions and engineering change orders to address more than 50 issues and recover more.
• Revamped routine at-line testing methods. Standardized terminology and consolidated up to four documents into a single comprehensive checklist for each area. Implemented matching fields in local manufacturing execution.
• Compiled production data into a responsive and interactive Excel dashboard for exploratory data analysis. Automated data cleaning and analysis using Power Query, then created relationships and extended functionality.
• Initiated company recruiting efforts at UNR. Spoke at university capstone classes and prepared a written application guide. Reached more than 450 graduating seniors, received 40+ applications, and secured at least 8.
