Outstanding Career Achievements

. Through the introduction of process control metrics and team oriented

process improvement projects, I successfully achieved an annual hour

reduction of direct labor of approximately 6.5% and a concurrent shop

efficiency improvement from %50 to %60 over the course of a year for

concrete pump manufacturing.

. Established and managed a team oriented facility safety program resulting

in a reduction of OSHA incidents from six to zero.

. Utilizing time and material movement studies, I designed, specified,

installed, and ramped up a $1,000,000 semi-automatic assembly line and a

$450,000 semi-automatic assembly line for the introduction of two

redesigned product lines with new packaging. These new assembly lines

accomplished the goal of producing the 33% increase in production demand

for circuit breaker boxes.

. Successfully designed and managed the implementation of a new assembly

process resulting in a 50% labor reduction per device for low voltage

switch gear.
