PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Sonaca SA Aerospace, Belgium 2013

– 2014

A $600M global aerospace components business comprised P&Ls located in Belgium, US, Canada,

Brazil, & China.

Senior Manufacturing Expert (Business Development Manager)

Managed business development of Engineering Services in Manufacturing process & Lean Kaizen.

• Developed and delivered near $1 M high margin projects, including:

Process Improvement Performance Based Project implemented in a composites facility in Scandinavia.

Pragmatic & proven Lean-Kaizen methodology & tools : VSM, testing, implement and control process

improvements. Exceeded the target of 50% reduction of throughput time, lay-up time and non-quality cost.

ATR parts transfer from Airbus to a French tier II manufacturer ( proposal preparation with MPS, QAP &

IQP)

• Developed-Deployed Sonaca's Lean-Kaizen Tool Kit.

Hellenic Aerospace Industry (Aerospace Manufacturing), Greece

1989 – 2013

A $65M global commercial & military manufacturing facility based in a 400K sq ft modern facility with

400 employees

Director of Plant Operations (2010 2013)

Managed full P&L of a $65M operation and transformed it to process driven with predictable business

results by applying risk analysis, lean principles, cost controls, defining and improving business

processes, and creating a culture of information sharing, data driven decision making, and accountability.

Transition success measured by the following business and operational metrics:

Increased EBITDA to $65M, or 25%, and cash flow by reducing operating costs and work re

•

assignments.

• Improved customer satisfaction KPIs by applying state of the art Lean, Root cause and corrective

actions and TOC methodologies resulting to OTD >90% and OTQ 99% ; zero customer defects.

Reduced internal scrap rate by 45% for metallic and 20% in composites resulting to significant savings.

•

Reduced 75% discrepancies of C130J program by applying effective root cause analysis methodologies.

•

• Secured 100% detail parts flow for the C130J by performing end to end risk analysis and re

evaluating strategic outsourcing. Re engineered (3 D modeling) all 1200 parts for quick in house

fabrication capability.

• CAPEX : extrusion profiler machine; CATIA V5 upgrades 5 stations; r efurbished major

machines such as stretch former, semi auto riveting machine, H/T oven; doubled lay up area for

composites; & installed new anodizing line for 18 ft long parts for C130J.

Trained successfully ( >80% integration) 130 new mechanics to undertake C130J & F16 assembly loads.

•

Established lean lay out for F 16 assembly line with estimated savings of 10% of lost time.
