This resulted in a significant reduction in hours required from planning and operations (40-80 hours/week of direct labor).- Determined root causes for any major cost variances found by Finance. All root causes corrected to eliminate future similar variances.-Redesigned the interface between the sliding mouse tray and keyboard tray. This resulted in the change of a 90% Final Run and Test failure to a 0% failure with zero scrap and zero rework. Show less

- Part of the iGen developer platform CFT responsible for improving design for manufacturing (DFM) attributes, understanding critical specifications and the ability of suppliers to meet and identification of appropriate critical parameter measurement methods.- Authored an invention proposal for an alternate manufacturing method of a critical part. This new design resulted in a cost savings of $1.65 million over the life of the program.- Designed and implemented a prototype tool… Show more - Part of the iGen developer platform CFT responsible for improving design for manufacturing (DFM) attributes, understanding critical specifications and the ability of suppliers to meet and identification of appropriate critical parameter measurement methods.- Authored an invention proposal for an alternate manufacturing method of a critical part. This new design resulted in a cost savings of $1.65 million over the life of the program.- Designed and implemented a prototype tool to measure a gap between two rolls that needed a +/- 25 micron tolerance. The MSA showed the measurement system used approximately 15% of the tolerance. The gap creation between each roll was comprised of two separate sub-systems, each sub exceeded 100 parts.- Represented Manufacturing in pre-production meetings with Design and suppliers. Reviewed drawings for tolerances, datum structures, correct GD&T callouts, DFM, critical specifications, remanufacturing recommendations.- Supported CFT with recommending the appropriate part production process. Attention to volume, tool life, chance of future design change, tolerances required and cost optimization. - Proposed / implemented new design concepts for key assemblies to design team and suppliers. These changes ultimately minimized machining and/or significantly decreased the assembly variation which directly impacted critical parameters.- Conducted several MSA's associated with critical spec and critical parameter measurements.- Worked with CFT to develop short run to hard tool transition plans Show less

- Accountable for determining the most economical mixer design for engineered orders from concept to installation.- Worked with suppliers, sales, manufacturing, drafting, and purchasing departments to ensure compatibility of all components for each engineered order.- Accountable for the improvements of the existing composite product line, development of new composite products and associated engineering documentation.- Responsible for the mechanical design of… Show more - Accountable for determining the most economical mixer design for engineered orders from concept to installation.- Worked with suppliers, sales, manufacturing, drafting, and purchasing departments to ensure compatibility of all components for each engineered order.- Accountable for the improvements of the existing composite product line, development of new composite products and associated engineering documentation.- Responsible for the mechanical design of special-order large scale mixing systems. These projects included shaft, seal, flange and impeller designs based on the customer requirements. Systems were sized and designed based on operating pressures, temperatures, torque requirements and chemical compositions of materials mixed. Limiting design parameters included material properties, beam bending stresses, deflections under load and natural frequency limits. Show less
