Experienced and aggressive problem solver with a broad range of process &

electrical / controls engineering expertise who will "hit the ground

running" and make an immediate impact on your bottom line. I have a unique

combination of project management, process & controls engineering skills (A-

B PLCs, HMIs & VFDs) that have enabled me to improve the efficiency &

output of many different batch & continuous processes in multiple

manufacturing engineering positions.

Work Experience

6/1981-Present, Avery Dennison Label & Packaging Materials Division

Multiple senior process, design and project engineering positions at the

plant, division and corporate levels.

Position Responsibilities:

a) Management of capital project to improve safety, product quality

and increase throughput for coating and finishing operations in the

United States.

b) Technical support for coating & finishing operations located in the

United States.

c) Technical consultant / expert for coating & finishing operations

worldwide.

Major Accomplishments:

a) Co-project manager for the successful High Speed Pilot Coater

project in the Avery Dennison World Wide Headquarters in Mentor,

Ohio ($6,000,000 capital project). Integrated Siemens S7 and

multiple Allen Bradley PLCs using Woodhead technology.

b) Managed the specification, purchase, installation, startup and

acceptance testing of a low-cost Taiwanese slitter re-winder for the

West Coast Distribution center in Rancho Cucamonga, CA ($833,000

capital project)

c) Developed a recipe based HMI & PLC code implementing the OSU WHRC

winding model on eight center-surface wind slitter rewinders. This

contributed to a 40% reduction in roll formation complaints in the

US from 2010 to 2012; this also enabled the processing of more

difficult products (film on film) with higher profit margins.

d) Upgraded the analog DC drives on a 3 roll silicone coater & a

turret winder to Siemans 6SE70 AC vector drives. This project

included interfacing an Allen-Bradley PLC-5/80 to the Siemans 6SE70

AC drives via Profibus.

e) Provided critical process support for the commercialization of

drummed hot melt adhesive for Avery Mexico ($250,000+/y material

cost savings).

f) Solved a gel problem for Avery Mexico with Bostik-Findley

drummed hot melt adhesives that caused $195,000 of product scrap. In

one trip, the root cause of the problem was identified & process

controls were implemented to prevent a re-occurrence.

g) Technical support for the purchase, installation and commissioning

of an embossing line for reflective pressure-sensitive adhesive

products. Worked with the German OEM to successfully develop several

technologies that reduced machine downtime from setup and

changeovers to make a major advance in productivity compared to

previous machines.

h) Completed four projects over a two year period as a Six Sigma

Blackbelt that produced a documented $1.9 MM in increased profit &

cost savings.

i) Technical support for the Peachtree City pressure sensitive

adhesive coating & finishing plant for 25+ years. Upgraded the

processes & control systems on multiple coating & slitting machines

which resulted in significant safety, quality & productivity

improvements.

j) Developed "Best Practices" for adhesive compounding & feed

systems control.

1/1975 to 5/1981, Diamond Shamrock Corp, Plastics Division, Delaware City

Delaware & Concord, Ohio

Process Engineer & Research Engineer

Research Engineer Projects & Accomplishments:

a) New PVC process development

b) Development of an external VCM stripping process for the mass

PVC resin.

c) Developed a technique for reducing the rate of color loss of mass

PVC resin while stripping (Patent Docket #3320 opened).

d) Developed a method for controlled heating of dry PVC resin with

microwaves.

Process Engineering Responsibilities:

a) First area of responsibility: PVC waste treatment plant.

b) Second area of responsibility: Suspension polymerization plant.

c) Third area of responsibility: PVC pellet compounding plant
