PROJECTS

. New product introduction, layout and development - Production engineer

that defined and developed product from drawing board to production

floor. Performed as manufacturing facility new product project lead,

manufacturing engineer, quality engineer, test engineer, and industrial

engineer. Defined acceptance criteria, purchased, installed and created

layout for 20 pieces of new equipment. Resolved process, material,

people, method and equipment issues. Result of the implementation was

production of 250,000 units in 6 months, the fastest Time to Market

product ever for Honeywell, Six Sigma quality at end of line, and a

product that was being produced over 10 years later.

. F-18/AMC electronic kits production line quality and throughput - The end

items, electronic circuit cards, went to the customers General Dynamics

and Boeing for the U.S. Navy. Modified production line to meet demand.

Determined labor requirements, changed processes and made improvements to

increase output of line, meet delivery, and improve quality. Decreased

throughput time for product by 20%. Increased output from 5 year

historical average of 2 kits per week to 10 kits per week. Created

design changes, quality and process improvements using engineering, TPM

and Six Sigma Methods.

. Development and manufacture of the Boeing 747-8 Freighter and

Intercontinental airplanes - Manufacturing Engineer for the development

and manufacture of the new Boeing 747-8 Freighter and Intercontinental

airplanes. Change Management Analyst for Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental

Project helped facility improve delivery, decrease throughput and

decrease part shortages.

. Automated Material Handling System Implementation at Intel - One of 30

engineers that installed and implemented largest AMHS in the largest

semiconductor Fab in the world. Results: finished on time and under

budget for the first time for the company.

. Computer new product introduction - Manufacturing Engineer responsible

for introduction of new computer that was designated a supercomputer that

fit on a desktop. Designed and implemented layout, and developed product

concurrently with design and new products group. Results: Highest

revenue workstation in 2nd largest computer company in the world.

. Product Transfers - Manufacturing Engineer taking a leading project role

in over 25 product transfers to and from the home facility. Transfers

and expansions to U.S., Mexico and other country locations included

layout, electronic product, aerospace product, mechanical product,

equipment, process, material and people issues. Results: Successful

product transfers or expansions to 6 different states and 4 different

countries.

. Equipment Engineering - Experienced and proven capability in all aspects

of equipment lifecycle for manufacturing. Areas of experience include

budget, determination of need, selection, purchase, installation,

qualification, maintenance, improvement, modifications and upgrades.

Work people issues such as training, vendor, customer, internal customer,

quality, project and management. Equipment experience includes simple

mechanical tools, to automated equipment, to the most complicated tools

in the world. Results: Outstanding results in meeting schedule, meeting

new product introduction milestones, TPM project, quality improvements,
