HIGHLIGHTS OF SKILLS

. SUPPLIER QUALITY ENGINEER

As part of the overall product qualification process, I validated the

product performance to ensure it met published specification and

performance criteria. The product lines included interior and exterior

components, windows, brakes and HVAC. This required a constant presence

at each supplier facilities. Act as liaison between production and

supplier organizations due to rejected goods at incoming inspection,

manufacturing or from customer complaints, so that improvements and

corrective actions can be implemented and monitored. Write reports

outlining assessment, audit and first article findings, along with

recommendations. Lead in the factory transfer of projects so that all

requirements and specifications are clearly communicated to the supplier.

. PROJECT MANAGEMENT

In charge of implementing continuous improvement processes, utilizing

Lean Manufacturing and Kaizen principles in developing manufacturing

cells for the production of industrial components. Implement the

project policies and procedures defining the project estimating,

scheduling and costs. Monitor the project development cost trends in

order to detect over-runs and potential problem areas. Produce detailed

cost reports across multiple capital approvals, capturing spent to date

data and accurate cost forecasting.

. MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

Work with Marketing, R&D, Cost Accounting, and Materials on new product

development. Serve as the voice of operations in the development

process and work on design for manufacturability and assembly.

Responsible for the following phases: planning, design/process,

preproduction and production, applying concepts, practices and

procedures. Work in a hands-on manner to develop design strategies,

make recommendations to management and coordinate implementation.

Coordinate the implementation of Engineering Change Releases. Review

ECN's prior to their release to ensure that the design is producible as

drawn, that methods are defined via routing, time standards, process

plans, detailed work plans and tool orders. Coordinate material and

tooling availability with the Tool Room, Purchasing, and Production

Control. Develop and implement efficient and safe work methods, Lean

material process flows, proper time standards, and the acquisition of

equipment and tooling for maximum efficiency of the production process.

Develop justification on new equipment based on monetary savings,

capacity, and safety. Write Capital Authorization Requests for new

equipment. Develop, plan, and coordinate the implementation of shop

layouts for improved material flow, increased plant capacity, placement

of new equipment, optimizing existing shop capacities, new production

processes. Oversee project until successful completion.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

My responsibilities as a Supplier Quality Engineer consisted of being in

charge of multiple suppliers. The products included all interior items such

as walls, floors, ceiling, seats, doors and window components. The exterior

items included the brakes, HVAC, and front and rear bonnets for the

manufacture of commuter trains. Acted as liaison between supplier and

Quality Engineers and Customer Service as part of the overall product

process, I validated the product performance to ensure it met published

specifications and performance criteria. Acted as a project leader for

coordinating Supplier Corrective Actions plans working jointly for

improvement, resolution and verification of effectiveness of corrective

actions undertaken. The goal of producing a defect free product that was

delivered on time to maintain the uninterrupted production flow of my

company's product was consistently accomplished.

In Project Management I was responsible to manage the creation of assembly

and manufacturing cells. Implemented continuous improvement processes,

utilizing Lean Manufacturing and Kaizen principles. An understanding of

conceptual estimating and schedule requirements and coordinating input

with the Project Team in a timely and professional manner. Produced

detailed cost reports across multiple capital approvals, accurately

capturing spent to date data and accurate cost forecasting. The ultimate

goal of the cells was to accomplish the production of a product from the

inception of the design to final assembly of the product.

As a Manufacturing Engineer/Supplier Quality Engineer my responsibilities

required the process and quality improvement of the products produced and

procured by my employer. The quality required is 100% defect free product

that is delivered on time to maintain the uninterrupted production flow of

my company's product.

Result: All the suppliers and customers that have been under my charge have

accomplished this objective.

Modified the design of impeller shafts.

Result: Reduced rework by 95% and decreased production labor time by 60%,

annual cost reduction $1,500.000.00.

Consolidated the manufacture of products produced from two subsidiaries

into one.

Result: Reduced manufacturing cost by 20%, annual cost reduction

$6,000,000.00.

Modified and optimized the manufacturing of impellers.

Result: Standardized most of the items by decreasing the cost to

manufacture by 40%, annual cost reduction $4,000,000.00.

Developed the rights to manufacture Biotechnology equipment, in managing a

team to develop this equipment to the design and manufacturing criteria to

industry standards.

Result: The Company became the leader in this technology, as a result

received several million-dollar contracts.
