SENIOR MANUFACTURING/INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Structures Fabrication and Assembly...Materials and Resource
Planning...Equipment/Facility Planning
. A result-oriented engineering professional with extensive and
comprehensive direct support experience in facilitating new product
offerings, optimizing existing/new manufacturing plant operations and
implementing Lean Manufacturing principles to shorten cycle times, reduce
work-in-process inventory and eliminate non-value added activities.
. Directed efforts and focus on lowering "cost to produce" by minimizing
process/flow times, promoting continuous product quality and improving
facility productivity. In addition, offers in-depth experience in
effective cost avoidance/reduction, process auditing, change control, and
variance analysis/corrective action.
. Core competencies include cost control, work measurement, plant layout
and facilities planning. Emphasis in problem solving with strong
commitment to bottom-line productivity, and handling of multi-task
workloads in an ISO 9001 certified environment.
