Objective and Career Summary:

My goal is to use my Lean expertise to develop effective Engineering and

Operations teams that can effectively launch, sustain, and improve

production processes driving operational excellence.

My expertise is developing / optimizing Production and Molding processes.

This includes program management of new automation, the production launch,

and process improvements. For 12 years I have also led operations teams

sustaining long-term operational effectiveness and ensuring the delivered

quality to the customer. My ability to implement Lean principles has been a

key to my success. Automation was designed to provide a robust process

unable to deliver defects. Teams were developed to follow a Lean culture

of urgency and irreversible corrective action. For 3 years I have developed

molding processes using scientific molding (Decoupled Molding) and

monitoring these processes with RJG technology.

Key Accomplishments and Qualifications:

. De-bugged and optimized new assembly automation for manual and

automated processes.

. Launched more than 10 new lines and 20 products in last 8 years,

process robustness, process controls, process capability, and quality.

. Plastic Injection Molding: fully understand scientific method for

developing injection process. Certified as Master Molder by RJG.

. Strong welding back round that includes, precision resistance &

compaction and ultrasonic. Have applied welding to stand alone manual

station and automated station applications. In depth knowledge of weld

parameter development.

. Certified by Q & M Consulting on Production Control Plan (PCP) 2nd

edition and Measurement System Analysis (MSA) 3rd edition.

. I been part of 2 Launches of new focused factories in Juarez, Mexico
