Statistical Engineering Manager, Bose Corporation, Framingham, MA, 1995-2015• Managed Statistical Engineering Department (3-6 statistical engineers); since 1995, oversaw 20+ undergraduate COOP, Intern students of multiple engineering disciplines to introduce them to the use of statistics in industry. • Lead teams in solving problems related to new product and process introduction development activities. These activities for new products resulted in lean processes at introduction, improved initial quality, and reliability.• Lead teams in solving problems related to mature product and process optimization to increase production output. These activities lead to defining cause and effect, key process indicators, and production line culture changes.• Lead and support statistical engineer for developing and improving transactional processes. Applied the innovative thought process to define new solutions to improve communication, procedures and data, and information flow for these types of processes.• Supported the application of statistical techniques in various production and test facilities throughout the world both within and outside of Bose (United States, Canada, Mexico, Malaysia and China). • Lead statistical engineer for teams investigating field failures (for both Automotive and Home Entertainment Divisions) and defining methods to mitigate failures in the future.• Lead statistical engineer in the investigation and implementation of automated test systems in production. These activities lead to minimizing the false failure test rate to improve productivity on multiple production lines.• Co-instructor within the Bose Green Belt and Black Belt Certification Program for both Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Design for Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training.• Versatile and strong team member in any role that is required to solve part forming, assembly, through-put, or test problems.

Quality ManagerBose Corporation, Framingham Assembly Plant, Framingham, MA, 1993-1995• Responsible for product quality for the assembly plant: final speaker and transducers assembly processes.• Quality system implementation: initial line audits, test measurement control.• Defect analysis and process optimization.

Statistical EngineerBose Corporation, Framingham, MA, 1987-1993• Statistical Engineer on the “Tiger Team” looking to improve production output for assembly processes in the Framingham Plant.• Concentration on the transducer assembly line: optimization of assembly methods (both manual and automated), applications of various process analysis, and optimization techniques.

Statistical EngineerCorning Glass Works, Fall Brook Plant, Corning, NY, 1984-1987• Glass tube forming optimization and control: consumer and automotive applications.• Glass tube finishing optimization and control: consumer and automotive applications.• Glass tank melting process analysis and control.

Process Quality EngineerCorning Glass Works, Manufacturing Division, Dekker Building, Corning, NY, 1981-1984* Supported various production plants in improving yields and process optimization with glass forming and finishing processes: - Danville, VA (ophthalmic lens forming)- Harrodsburg, KY (ophthalmic photo sensitive lens forming)- State College, PA (lead TV tube forming)- Paden City, WV (consumer plates)- Steuben Plant (lead crystal glass shapes)- RD Sullivan Park, Corning, NY (baseline optical fiber control measurements)
