PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
TERUMO MEDICAL PRODUCTS – WATLOW ELECTRICAL Saint Louis Missouri
Supply Chain Quality Engineer 2010 to Nov 2010
PROJECT REVIEW-TERUMO
Project: supply chain engineering- production of heater cores for blood by-pass systems. Production slowed due to unknown reasons, failure rate increased. Arrived on site, performed a force field analysis of the process and people. Offered training for all in the unit on GMP regulations. First time right was charted and displayed as a control chart. Daily production meeting was scheduled not to last more than 30minutes. Work instruction improvements were achieved-early into the project. First time right on welding improved to 90% passing leak testing.
