WORK EXPERIENCE

Manufacturing Engineer, Caterpillar, Peoria, IL (Through Geometric Americas) Feb 2012- Present

Value stream mapping

- Collect data required to create value stream maps such as cycle times, operation demands, OEE, inventory etc

- Create and update current state value stream maps to identify critical paths and bottlenecks in the process

- Drive cost reduction projects and strategic buffer capacity plans to address bottlenecks

- Create and update future state value stream map to support future capacity plans and an ideal state for pull replenishment

Participate in setup reduction projects

- Record base line setups and conduct time studies

- Identify external and internal elements in a setup. Use 5 why analysis to validate the necessity of the various elements

- Propose, implement and validate conversion of internal steps to external to reduce internal setup time using DMAIC principles

Develop Process documentation

- Develop Standard Work for operating and setting up machines to improve PQVC

- Conduct Safety FMEA inspections to identify high risk work elements

- Propose and implement solutions to mitigate identified risks and create Safe Job Procedures

- Develop Quality Control Plans, Spaghetti Charts and Flow Process Charts
