PROFESSIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Reduced scrap rate on stent-delivery device from 11% to less than 3% by identifying previously unknown supplier

quality issues as well as out of spec equipment tolerances. Worked with supplier to resolve the issue, implemented

in-process inspections and adjusted equipment preventive maintenance schedule to address tolerance issue.

Increased daily production by an average of 40% on a complex production line by flowcharting material,

subassembly and operator movement Evaluated total touch-time for each station, designed and implemented

manufacturing aids/fixtures in all applicable areas.

Exceeded an ambitious timeline of one week to fully set up and qualify a 22 station production line. Each station

entailed one or more pieces of equipment that was to be fully verified (IQ/OQ/PQ), have updated machine, tool and

calibration files, and to be safeguarded for use on the production floor.
