Goal: Boost profit and mitigate waste by enhancing process relationships between supply chain operations, IT/MRP, production, sales and hourly associates creating lean robust procedures and instructions. Martinrea International, Inc., Auburn Hills, MI -Corporate Advanced Quality Manager August 2017 through November 2023

• Successfully championed dozens of timely full customer PPAP approvals for all assigned programs by leading team associates in executing customer specific requirements GD&T, MSA, IMDS, control plan audit line walks.

o Ensured new product launch PPAP deliverables met within the Metallics Division NAO from award through full customer approval +90 days; GM T1XX, 31XX; Ford P708, V363; Nissan P33, P42QR, HP61; Toyota 960B BIW & chassis assemblies. o Foresaw and propelled collaborative changes to GD&T, check fixtures, stamping progression sequence/punch detail scrap management, and assembly tooling holding fixtures, part torque sequence attachment and error-proofing for 1st run quality and early containment strategy customer protection.

o Prevented

• Mentored plant associates with completion and proficiency test or audit evidence: 5s, Lean application high frequency delivery systems, error-proofing stress audits, CAD Spinfire/Teamcenter modeling, IMDS, steel certification/materials PPAP submission, practical GR&R, and so forth.

• Sheared first time IMDS customer rejections of 60% to 1% by becoming the Global IMDS System Administrator. educating 257plant and supply chain associates.

• plants and Supply Chain Operations to execute accurate timely submissions, understand annual RMI reporting, and multi-plant correction of prohibited substance supplier violations.

• Accelerated accurate PPAP completion by developing procedures: Reportable Substance Management, Gage Assessment / Process Capability, Early Production Containment and coordinating deployment efforts with engineering, SCO, quality, and sales. AGS Automotive, Sterling Heights, MI -Corporate Advanced Quality Engineer 2004-2017

• Energetically inspired team review of customer Statement of Requirements (SOR/SOW) clarity for Class A appearance and design engineering changes on fascia, BIW, and chassis assemblies: 31XX Colorado/Canyon Rr BPR, FRT MCE GMC LD BPR, 31XX ZR2, T1XX Rr BPR.

• Galvanized major design changes to rear deck safety features within 5 weeks exceeding customer expectations for dimensional and performance tests; Program Manager for Camaro/Malibu assemblies and PPAP approval 2 months ahead of schedule. Responsible for budget, tool initiation, BOM, primary customer design interface and PPAP.

o Planned and lead DOE VA/VE analysis predicting and mitigating failure modes reducing unit costs 27% in CAW and US production plants.

• Drove resolution of customer directed buy high pressure aluminum die casting coated wheelhouse assembly 23% reject rate reduction to 2% by cataloguing and arranging parts for site customer/supplier agreement on OK/NOK parts. Photographs, explicit porosity criteria and team signed boundary samples assured sustained agreement for life of product through service.

• Increase supplier First Time Quality from 48% to 82% on Chromed ABS plastic with identified team signed defect boundary samples and tank rectifier bath maintenance optimization. Process Experience: Heat-treated hobbed/ground steel gears, rolled forged steel spline shafts, aluminum and plastic engineered extrusions, stamping and header tools, engineered fabrics, airbag inflators, copper infused powdered metal gears/cams, injection molding over fabric, insert molding, sand and die casting, deep draw stamping, adhesives/SPR, CMM, NDT, Magnaflux, layout and surface measurement, appearance approvals. Honors / Education

o AIAG MSA 4th Edition and CQI process audits

o AlliedSignal 6-sigma (6σ) Blackbelt

o Education Chairperson American Society for Quality o Roy J. Pearse Award of Excellence -Quality Science o B.S. Marian College, Quality/Productivity Management pending 3 general classes. o A.A. Rock Valley College –Political Science

Team building and training:

• Supervised two corporate contract and trained six plant Quality Engineers in customer PPAP documentation submission requirements creating step-by step work instructions and procedures for gage specification and submission, material assessment and IMDS substance reporting bringing 157 parts to full approval on time.

o Developing IMDS training increased customer IMDS acceptance from 41% to 99%. then training 288 global associates in my procedures, work instructions, and audit check list to sustain our success.

o Training quality associates in three NAO plants in efficient GR&R planning and deployment in weld cut & etch, variable and attribute gaging assured customer and IATF requirements were met on-time and allowed correlation between check fixtures, CMM and MapVision judgement results reducing an 8% false reject rate to less than 2%.

• Supervised seven UAW quality associates training them in variable thread measurement, enhanced containment audits and reporting, and pictorial defect boundary sample cataloguing for consistent product quality judgements reducing spline and other scrap by 62%.

• Hiring five corporate supplier development engineers and six contract engineers to audit, assess and train suppliers and NAO plants increasing first time PPAP submissions ftom11% to 98% and supplier PPM reduction by 97% over a three-year period.
