My hands-on shop leadership has enabled me to assemble mechanical and electronic assemblies with precision, ensuring efficient testing and completion.In addition to operational leadership, I have been instrumental in developing and implementing strategic plans to address production challenges. By constructing, preparing, and reviewing production, safety, and quality reports, I have identified areas for improvement and developed actionable plans in collaboration with team members. I have fostered a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement by soliciting feedback from employees and incorporating their input into problem-solving solutions.I have a proven track record of ensuring compliance with industry standards, including ISO requirements. By reviewing, correcting, and creating SOPs for production, I have maintained adherence to ISO standards and upheld high-quality standards across operations. Furthermore, I have leveraged ERP systems to input first-time yield defect reporting and generate comprehensive KPI reports, providing valuable insights for decision-making and process improvement.My leadership extends beyond day-to-day operations to include strategic planning and team development. I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to discuss production schedules, forecasting, and resource allocation, implementing changes as necessary to meet production requirements. By facilitating weekly meetings and providing regular updates on production planning and scheduling, I have fostered open communication and collaboration among team members.

As a Production Supervisor, I have a proven track record of driving quality improvement, productivity enhancement, and cost reduction initiatives while prioritizing a safe working environment. By establishing cross-functional teams and fostering collaborative problem-solving, I have created an efficient and cohesive team environment focused on achieving operational excellence.One of my key strengths lies in my ability to train and empower production teams at all levels of assembly and testing. By providing comprehensive training and support, I ensure that team members are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to meet production goals and maintain quality standards. Additionally, I have successfully qualified external contractors and implemented new processes, such as E-beam welding qualification, to enhance production capabilities and meet stringent quality requirements.I am deeply committed to upholding quality standards at the ISO9000 level, regularly performing audits and implementing corrective measures as needed to ensure compliance. Furthermore, I have engineered and implemented various improvements aimed at reducing costs, enhancing quality assurance, and improving production efficiency. For example, I designed a replacement PCA coating that not only reduced costs by 30% but also improved the functionality of the end product, demonstrating my ability to innovate and drive tangible results.In addition to my technical expertise, I excel in cross-functional collaboration, working closely with departments such as purchasing, planning, sales, and quality to address production challenges and reliability issues. By leveraging ERP systems and data-driven insights, I monitor and analyze key performance indicators to inform decision-making and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

I managed production requirements as directed by operations in the testing and assembly of companies' Fiber Optic permanent downhole gauges. I supervised the calibration and maintenance of all test equipment to meet production requirements. I achieved success in manufacturing the downhole sensor utilizing existing fixturing and with the use of a laser. I improved sensor manufacturing by 30% by utilizing video monitoring equipment during the sensor build process. I assisted in developing and implementing an automated assembly machine, increasing sensor output by 40% and improving the reliability of the existing sensor. Developed with engineering a mechanical improvement to the existing sensor package to improve reliability and manufacturing process times by 35% and assisted in developing a repair process for sensor cabling to reduce the cost of replacement by thousands of dollars. Through the mechanical and assembly improvements, the company successfully completed 13 different well-monitoring projects in Saudi Arabia using a single FO sensor. Maintain facility training and operations as Safety officer to meet required OSHA standards.Directed monthly safety meetings and documented all issues until they were finally resolved. Monitored all engineering testing to ensure adherence to OSHA regulations and site safety guidelines.

I managed a team of 25 electronic technicians in the production and repair of electronic PCAs for multiple customers and clients. I held daily meetings with my employees to allow for the resolution of any testing issues more rapidly and to establish an open communication environment. I managed all hiring and interviewing and provided cross-training of all technicians on products for numerous customers, including but not limited to Baker Hughes, Halliburton, and Schlumberger. I communicated and assisted all customers and clients in resolving testing issues on all PCAs. With the assistance of Test Engineering, maintenance and upgrades provided by the customers were implemented under my leadership. I assisted the planning and new product implementation team by reviewing all new products for documentation and for clear identification of any test fixturing required for production. I developed with the company Test Engineering team an automated test system for a transmitter PCA that reduced the testing time required by 75%. I also assisted Test Engineering in the development of an automated test system for High Voltage power supplies that increased daily production by 50%. I assisted the plant planning team by developing a tracking system that allowed for more direct process tracking of a three-board assembly product for Schlumberger. I Established a programmed IC identification process to reduce the potential for shipping customer PCAs without programmed ICs.
