Planned, managed, and worked on Critical and Flight Safety Assemblies with complex engineering projects for Lockheed Aeronautics, Lockheed Missile & Fire Control, SpaceX, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, DuCommun LaBarge Technologies, Kaman Aerospace, L-3 Technologies, L-3 Aeromet, L-3 Cincinnati Technologies, Leonardo Aerospace, RSG AeroDesign, Subaru, Triumph, U.S. Department of Defense controlled Items (Primary, Critical, Flight Safety, and Fatigue Controlled Parts), and build and lead teams to maximize output.Planned and oversaw the successful completion of major proprietary and complex engineering projects for aerospace and defense companies such as Lockheed Aeronautics, Lockheed Missile & Fire Control, Sikorsky, Bell, and SpaceX.Planned and reviewed manufacturing plans such as 2D drawings, CATIA models, Notes Lists, Parts List, and BOMs to ensure all materials, processes, and features were captured and met during the engineering manufacturing process.Wrote manufacturing and production plans, built reporting tools and processes that resolved potential issues which lead to maximum performance, minimum delay, early warning detection, and execution of effective solutions. Conducted Audits, consulted with external partners, internal managers and executives to develop and implement program strategies in accordance with AS9100 which led to reduced scraps from $800,000 per year towards zero defects. Reviewed and verified that project deliverables contents met engineering and quality expectations Coordinated material movement between production, manufacturing plant, and warehouse areas. Created and managed a $30 million frozen planning program, $50 million FAI Administration system, Contract review, purchase orders review, and Engineering review at Fore Aero Company. Advanced

Directed manufacturing operations and establish operational policies and implemented process improvements to ensure superior quality products and outstanding output of superior parts. Managed operational and capital expense budgets.Responsible for the safety, cost, quality and delivery of complex pharmaceutical business operations through management, administration, production, distribution, and sales. Created operational system that improved operating working capital and inventory turns resulting in lower inventory levels by reducing of raw material delivery from quarterly to monthly, to every two weeks, and finally to daily deliveries. Designed a manufacturing system for manufacturing that reduced internal batch sizes and manufacturing process (less set ups), which greatly reduced operational cycle times and ensured that proper practices and procedures were consistently performed during manufacturing process.SPECIALTIES: Continuous Improvement, Lean Manufacturing & Operations, Production, Quality
