>Safety- *Served over five years as division near-miss coordinator.

This involved contacting safety or environmental, investigating

incident or possible incident, and taking corrective actions

before giving summation and closing my report

>Supervisory-

*Worked as second shift lead technician in sand foundry

As working supervisor I was in charge of closing sand molds while

assigning grinding, sawing, mold making, and traffic duties.

*Vacuum Die Casting

Turned a research project to full scale operation and, in doing so,

became a shift supervisor . This involved hiring or re-assigning

people from both inside and outside of the company to work

safely and efficiently in producing automotive parts.

>Process Improvement-

*Metallograpic Lab

After training in PodFa sample analysis I was able to cut

an average of thirty minutes per sample which led to more immediate

feedback to our production facilities.

*Die Casting

Changed floor plan, added furnaces, people, processes and cut costs.

By creating a flow of work, adding shifts, and implementing “5S”

principles we were able to cut costs and never miss a deadline while

safely creating quality parts. We also achieved ISO 9000 status.

>Training

*Various

Several online courses were required such as: safe driving skills,

business skills, ethics, proper computer use, patent infringement,

business dealings with foreign companies and governments,

corporate responsibilities- product/environment, workplace

harassment, diversity training,, Kaizan, Q.T.M., A.B.S.

*Practical

I am well versed in the proper care and handling of metals

both molten and solid. I’ve alloyed any number of elements into

both open-hearth and electro-magnetic furnaces. I know the care

that must be taken to insure safe operation regardless of alloying

element.
