Covidien, Lake Forest, CA

2012 - 2013

Project Manager / Consultant

Led cross-functional team to create the future clean room design

saving 25% of the square footage.

Future clean room layout improved the flow of materials and personnel

throughout the clean room potentially improving throughput, reducing

scrap, and minimizing safety issues.

Designed layout for the future non-clean room production areas. This

was beyond the original scope of the project which helped executive

management develop their strategic plans for the entire facility.

Until change in the strategic direction, lead and managed project

including the project plan, schedule, team development, current and

future state, and progress reports.

including automation systems, robotics (PLC's), and production lines.

Designed facility layout incorporating the automation product lines of

the future. Instead of focusing on just the short term solutions, a

vision for the long term development plan was strategically

established. Due to my vision, 1.5 more automation systems/production

lines are being planned for the future than previously planned.

Established a standards review process for Bill of Materials (BOM),

work centers, and routers within SAP.
