Summary of Experience
Over 25 years of diversified manufacturing / industrial engineering and
logistics experience in broad range of processes and industries & work
environments. Concentrated & excelled at projects reducing waste &
improving employee engagement, organizational productivity & profitability.
Club Car / Kelly Engr. Services,, Augusta, GA Manufacturing Engineer
Feb - July 2010
Supporting Operations Evolution project by gathering information on
components and tooling used to build the AWD vehicle. Defining assembly
line space requirements for parts presentation. Reducing number of
fasteners & tools required on Assembly Line which will reduce overhead,
simplify training & improve quality. Highlight so far for this project is
applying a fast paced process to reduce number of torque tools from 192 -
160 prior to AWD line reconfiguration. This will reduce overhead, create
pool of available spare tools & simplify training of Assembly technicians
on the new line, which will improve process quality. Also helped DS
Manufacturing Engineer analyze information, material and process flows to
define space required for DS golf car value stream fabrication & weld
operations.
John Deere Commercial Products, Augusta, GA Manufacturing Engineer
2007 - 2009
Supported Tractor Assembly Lines which included analyzing Line Balance and
recommending manpower moves, coordinating layout and process improvements.
Led product program updates on two assembly lines by providing improved
operator methods, tools, fixtures and line balance.
John Deere Commercial Products, Augusta, GA Packaging Engineer
2003 - 2007
Implemented 2 bin tote kanban @ 4000 factory where kanban labels were
applied to totes, so that empty tote would serve as the signal that
replenishment was needed. Aachieved 50,000 sq. ft space & 50% headcount
reduction by eliminating a non-value added pre-pick and stage process step.
Stepped into a new role of Packaging Engineer, & established basic control
of a very chaotic process.
Analyzed custom packs / rack inventory vs need @ peak volumes & justified
orders to match.
Relocated Container Consolidation from in plant area to an off campus
warehouse that allowed by staging & planning shipments to achieve
transportation savings & less container outages at suppliers.
Investigated & Implemented Container Barcode Labeling & Tracking System to
help us identify, quantify, track & control our fleet of both generic &
custom returnable packs and racks.
Purchased over $4 million of generic & custom packs / racks over a 4 year
time period. Also worked with local shops to coordinate over $500,000 in
rack repairs to support peak production requirements.
John Deere Vehicle Group, Toano, VA Manufacturing Engineer
2001 - 2002
Supported Gator Assembly Line in manufacturing Engineering role including
implementing Product additions and updates, analyzing line balance,
recommending manpower moves, coordinating layout & process improvements.
Other tasks included Supervising Assembly while Focus Factory manager out
for extended time periods, utilizing simulation & 6 sigma projects to
improve delivery performance.
While covering not infrequent Focus Factory Manager absence, I performed
Supervisory Role for a periods ranging from days to weeks. Gained useful
experience in working with assembly line zone leaders and technicians and
other supporting departments to achieve production goals.
Thomas Built Bus / Freightliner, High Point, NC Senior Industrial
Engineer 1996-2000
Implemented lean manufacturing and improved operator productivity by
improving parts presentation and reducing wasteful motion. Increased parts
availability at line-side by 40%, through containerization changes and
workplace organization. Implemented pull signaling to 25 families over 6
month time frame to significantly improve control & stability of component
delivery to assembly line.
Led project to reduce component inventory resulting in 4.2 million (49%)
inventory reduction.
Shared design & implementation responsibility for production information
system. Prior to changes, this primitive component production environment
needed to establish basic control. Changes included scheduling
establishment, open order management, material identification and
distribution control.
Electronic Data Systems, Troy, MI Manufacturing Specialist
1990-1996
Led teams through synchronous operation improvements at Professional
Medical Products in Greenwood, SC. Teams reduced set-up time by 63% and
simultaneously reduced scrap by 15%. Reduced stamping press set-up times
at Automotive Components plant in Flint, MI by more than 25%.
Facilitated educational / awareness workshops at the GM Lean / Synchronous
Knowledge Center. Created Lean / Synchronous Training Materials Directory
for the GM Automotive Components Group.
Led cross-functional teams through planning and implementation of pull
scheduling systems. Shared delivery responsibility for synchronous
workshops for productivity improvement team activities.
Implemented Material Handling Labor Balance System at GM Truck Assembly
Plants driving cost avoidance thru material handler measurement &
redistribution of work load to improve productivity.
Applied the "the wall chip" line balancing tool at GM Hamtramck Cadillac
Assembly Plant which was a simple visual tool that allowed balancing of
workload across assembly line tasks during line de-rate.
GTE Communication Systems, Genoa IL Industrial Engineer
1987-1990
Simplified & standardized build process & developed macro to automate
creation of operator instructions for cable assembly group start-up.
Established procedures & processes for quick quoting, & product
introduction for the start-up of an OEM enterprise within an existing GTE
operation.
Square D Company, Peru, IN Manufacturing Engineer
1984-1987
Led a team of shop floor experts to reduce punch press set-up times more
than 50%. This was primarily accomplished by better preparation & a team
that was highly motivated to improve.
Represented manufacturing & manufacturing engineering departments in MRP-
II package implementation. Developed systems, processes & procedures for
labor reporting, accounting interfaces and engineering change control.
Justified creation of Records Control Group to insure integrity of Product
and Manufacturing Engineering Data prior to load into the MRP database.
