Work Experience

K O Products – Benton Harbor, MI

Tool and Die Maker (2008 to Present): Schedule all tooling maintenance activity in

and out of the tool room to support shop floor metal stamping press operations. Providing

help and guidance to shop floor press set up operations personnel. Develop all tool change

over documents using Microsoft Office software applications. Develop plans for tooling

improvements working with engineering and plant manager.

Selected Contributions:

Have significantly improved tooling performance of many customer owned tools since starting

work at K O Products eliminating losses due to scrap generation and reject, rework issues.

These figures have been lowered by 75% since 2008.

Design and built new tooling and machines used in the manufacturing processes using AutoCAD

Mechanical Desktop 3D software application.

Was actively involved in the plant 6S and TPM project to develop the system of daily, weekly,

monthly, quarterly, and yearly maintenance tracking for shop machinery. Developed the

documentation using Microsoft Word 2010 to create the table charts and diagrams needed as

visual aids for the TPM implementation.

Management Solutions Consulting – Benton Harbor, MI

Owner and President (2005 to December 2007): Worked inside of Robert Bosch Corporation

St. Joseph, MI disk brake assembly plant as an outside contract consultant Manufacturing

Engineer performing root cause analysis of assembly line processes to determine causes of

downtime, rework generation, and reject part assemblies during manufacturing operations.

Selected Contributions:

Identified root cause of pin insertion station binding when placing pins in anchor brackets and

resolved issue eliminating station resets that were contributing 48 minutes to line downtime daily

during manufacturing operation. This one improvement added $5900.00 in profitability to the line

daily.

Improvements on the 4868 line alone dropped daily downtime from an average of 167 minutes

per day to only 15 minutes per day. This line had never ran better than 60% efficient in the twelve

years it had been running prior to October 2007 when it ran 86% OEE for the first time because

of improvements made. Through working closely with the assembly line operators I was able to

investigate specific root cause issues that lead to the improvements increasing the overall line

OEE.

Worked closely with maintenance schedulers and personnel, tool room manager and die makers

after determining root cause of assembly line operation loss to schedule work activities to

resolve downtime issues and implement improvements to processes.

Started and completed 467 separate improvement projects related to specific identified root

causes for various issues affecting assembly line operation losses over a two and a half year

period while working inside Bosch as an outside contracted consultant.

Shepherd Casters Corporation – St. Joseph, MI

Tool and Die Maker (2001 to 2005): Worked as a tool maker performing maintenance to metal

stamping dies supporting the daily stamping operations of the plant. Also performed

troubleshooting activity and root cause analysis of automated assembly equipment used to

produce casters in the manufacturing processes.

Selected Contributions:

Re engineered nest tooling for the brake lever assembly operation to locate caster bodies more

consistently and eliminate the misalignment of parts during pin press placement causing reject

parts. The re engineering of the fixture eliminated 90% of the reject parts being generated by the

assembly operation.

Changed the assembly process that originally used three different dies to produce a single

finished part so all three operations were performed in one single tool with a finished part coming

from a single die set up shortening the production time for finished parts by 6 days per 5000

piece order.

Worked with outside tool sources to fulfill RFQ’s for needed tool work not able to be done in the

plant tool room facilities.

Modern Plastics Corporation – Benton Harbor, MI

Tool and Die Maker (1994 to 2001): Worked on customer owned molds used in the daily

injection molding and compression molding operations of Modern Plastics. Also machined and

built new tooling and fixtures per engineering drawings for new products introduced to the

manufacturing plant or upgrades to existing manufacturing processes.
