While at Zanini I had many responsibilities. I was very involved with the creation and revision of the worker's instructions out on the manufacturing floor. I also played a key role in the designing and implementation of multiple kaizen projects. Even though I was on the engineering team, I also worked closely with the quality department by utilizing a CMM to confirm the dimensional accuracy of the company's parts.
