WORK EXPERIENCE:

SIGNATURE SHUTTER SHOPPE

Manage production in a custom interior plantation shutter factory.

process. Insure minimum downtime through preventive maintenance and

proper inventory of critical parts. Work daily with staffing, safety,

disciplinary issues, mentoring as would be expected with management of

a typical production staff. Managed to keep the plant profitable in a

very difficult economic downturn. I used the techniques of the Toyota

Production system which deals with line balancing and reduced

staffing.

2008-2009 Reliability Engineer (Contract Engineer)

EMERSON PROCESS

Primary work in consulting reliability practices in northern Alberta's

oil sands industry. This industry on a grand scale is very process and

equipment related. Thousands of pieces of critical equipment and

instruments had to be identified on plumbing and instrument drawings

(P&ID), cataloged, assigned a criticality, determine cost centers and

cross referenced in the SAP system. The most critical equipment is

addressed first, looking into various reliability techniques

(vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasonics, etc) for the best

technique for the best OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). Other

items considered are, automatically tuned transmitters, proper sized

valves, automatic process to avoid operators moving controls to a more

conservative but less productive settings. Small improvements in OEE

on a facility of this scale results in millions of dollars in

operational savings.

2005-2008 Assistant Plant Manager SIGNATURE

SHUTTER SHOPPE

Oversee daily production in a custom interior plantation shutter

factory. Instrumental in implementing new Ultra Violet coating

equipment, new engineered wood products, and plant layout which
