Led the Production Preparation Process (3P) for the Miranda engine thrust chamber manufacturing cell which led to the removal of 3.75 miles of product travel distance, the elimination of 240 hours of queue time, the reduction of overhead crane lifts by 55%, and the elimination of all forklift traffic in the production buildingLed kaizen team to improve the flow, quality, and productivity of the Tube Shop, including an 80% decrease in material travel distance, a 20% reduction in product handoffs, a 20% increase in orbital tube welding efficiency, and a 20% decrease in quality defectsImplemented tiered meeting structures across all operational areas to improve communication of priorities and production blockers on a daily basis

Led clients through the digitalization of their manufacturing operations through the use of current state value stream mapping, data analysis, and future state planning to achieve tangible resultsAssisted clients in the development of efficient factory floor layouts to support improved production processes and material flowPlanned and led workshops with client stakeholders to identify inefficiencies and pain points and propose opportunities for improvement through creation of project roadmapsBuilt strong relationships with corporate leaders, factory management, and equipment operators to build trust and collaboration to achieve a shared vision of future success

Led continuous improvement initiatives for manufacturing clients based on the implementation of Procter & Gamble’s Integrated Work Systems (IWS) management systems and standards for strategic corporate functions and tactical operations through data analytics, shoulder to shoulder on the floor coaching, and the implementation of various problem-solving methods to identify root causes of process losses and implement countermeasures to prevent recurrencesDrove financial savings for clients through the delivery of increased Overall Equipment Effectiveness as well as capacity and throughput by 10-25% on average while coaching operators, supervisors and senior leadership on means to maximize throughput and minimize production waste Coached equipment operators, supervisors, and senior site leadership on means to maximize throughput and minimize waste by identifying constraints, defects, and other inefficiencies within manufacturing processes and creating standards to prevent reoccurrence

Houston, Texas Area

Managed development features and progress of 6 program teams developing a global cloud production system using Agile methodologiesFacilitated kaizen events, including identification and implementation of a 60% reduction in test cycle time for Proliant server products and savings of more than $14 million in annual manufacturing costs; Awarded the 2016 Enterprise Group Quality Award for this accomplishmentParticipated in and led projects utilizing the DMAIC and PDCA methodologiesResponsible for running factory interface training area to train internal and partner manufacturing personnel in the use of factory test software and gather feedback for future software iterationsGathered best practices from worldwide HPE production facilities to create a common global factory test strategy

Houston, Texas Area

Designed user interface of a global factory test system for manufacturing servers, storage, and networking products to simplify and decrease required operator interactionsCreated factory and executive level dashboards to better track orders throughout the manufacturing and test process to allow for better transparency to management and customersInterfaced with factory floor personnel in domestic and international locations to present design iterations and gather continuous feedback to best accommodate the end user’s essential requirements and offer expanded functionality over existing test system
