Summary of Experience
Over 20 years of manufacturing experience new product introduction (NPI),
process development, quality project management and cost engineering.
Background in managing CNC machine tool operations, procurement,
processing, programming and training in ISO and QS 9000 certified
environments.
2009 to GE Healthcare/Adecco Technical, Waukesha, Wisconsin
Present A $17 billion manufacturer of medical imaging equipment.
Cost Engineer: Responsible for Interpret engineering assembly
and component drawings/design/structure identifying the most cost
effective fashion to produce the products including; equipment
selection, tooling and fixturing identification, determining
specific sequence of operations, and validating material
selection physical properties for machining, fabrication,
welding, foundry, cable & harness assemblies, &/or molding
process technologies. Identify cost reduction opportunities based
upon component and assembly drawings (Design for Manufacture,
Design for Assembly). Utilize appropriate software tools and
databases (e.g. Boothroyd Dewhurst, Inc.- BDI DFM/DFA software)
to determine the "should be" cost of an item. Facilitate
technical discussions with suppliers to identify the gaps and
opportunities between current costs and "should cost" model
results. Work with Engineering and Sourcing to identify design
and process opportunities on NPIs (understanding & meeting target
introduction costs) and current products (help drive current cost
to optimal "should cost").
2007 to
2008 Analyze, model and validate with Global Sourcing and Suppliers

clutch carrier shaft produced on a Toyoda HMC. Result: Produced
annual cost savings of $66,000, reducing non-conformance costs by
95%, shift reduction from 3 to 2, and Special Machine cost
avoidance of $100,000.
Performed process, program, fixture, tool and prove-out for
family of 4 of 6 prototypes and pilot built hydraulic valves for
new CVT transmission program. Result: Met build due date and
was under budget by 22%.
2004 to Twin Disc Incorporated, Racine, Wisconsin
2005 A $200 million manufacturer of power transmissions and related
equipment.
