● Created measurement specifications for LCD screen test fixtures due to an 11% increase of internal failure rate. Reducing scrap costs by $25K annually and increasing future building capacity by 50%.● Worked cross-functionally with quality and mechanical engineering to address customer complaints for LCD failures through root cause analysis. Time to Failure was increased from 1.5 years to 5 years through design and process changes.● Work cross-functionally to perform 45 pilot builds involving new production parts, supplier qualifications, software changes, test fixture installation, and process improvements across all of the Milwaukee operations.● Continuously improved work instructions across 7 product lines and their sub-assemblies with focus on quality, manufacturability, process flow, documentation, and new part implementation.● Created documentation and performed validations for software programs to objectively show functionality in production of medical devices.● Streamlined subassembly production area to improve efficiency by 47% to meet internal demand. Redesigned cell layout from single-station to pull system assembly line. Rearranged part racks to decrease changeover time by 36%.● Perform Non-Conformance Evaluations (NCE) and Corrective Action Preventative Action (CAPA) activities. ● Perform internal audits focused on product quality, 5S, compliance, process workflow, and equipment validation.

● Modified paint robot settings to meet desired quality standards through Design of Experiments.● Created and maintained 5S system, Kanban, and Visual Management tools for all of production lines and sub-assembly areas.● Gathered data, performed testing, and created control test procedures for Critical to Quality processes for fireplace assembly.● Lead cross-functional improvement team for cell layout redesign reducing cell footprint by 28%, decreasing walking distance by 26%, and reducing cycle time by 9% by analyzing work flow, space requirements, and equipment layout.● Worked cross-functionally with New Product Development to test new parts and launch products to desired markets.● Communicated with customers of fireplaces on quality complaint cases to drive 5-why analysis and corrective action.● Created, performed time studies, balanced, and restructured 191 standard work documents for run rate changes and new product implementation between 2 shifts and SKU changeovers.● Managed sequenced pick tickets that coordinate kitted totes and train carts for material flow to internal suppliers and inventory warehouses to point of use locations on a pull system assembly line between 2 shifts.● Created 10 and maintained 31 quality standard records to reduce service call rates by 14% from 1.4% to 1.2%.

● Developed visual standard work procedures, quality audit plans, employee requirement formulas, and product tracking documents to ensure process standardization for portable cement mixers and fracking bins.● Utilized PFEMA to when reverse engineering portable gas and electric cement mixers and fracking bins to streamline prototyping, standardization of visual work instructions, and continuous improvement to reduce production costs by 44%.● Fabricated quality assurance testing tool to ensure portable cement mixers function properly prior to shipping.● Organized monthly internal and external quality findings to drive root cause analysis and assign corrective actions.● Developed present and future state value steam maps for internal and external parts for Supply Chain process.● Lead Six Sigma Lean team to significantly improve large-scale repackaging production by 127% through means of a waste elimination and 5S analyzing workstations.● Lead Kaizen continuous improvement team to significantly improve small-scale storage and retrieval process at repackaging facility. Employee production was increased by 162% throughout the entire plant.● Designed work station layouts for space efficient assembly of portable cement mixers and fracking bins initial set up.
