Selected Accomplishments

Utilized Six Sigma processes to eliminate $1.6M annual revenue losses for

PSEG. Client utilized grounded jet engines for power generation but

suffered from insufficient quantity of engines being available due to

excessive downtime. Analyzed process, identified weak links and implemented

changes. Mandated that engines were to be immediately inspected and an

analysis generated. Trimmed overhauling time by approximately 50%.

Turned around off-track project, eliminating $250K loss for Hamon Custodis.

Upon hire, industrial chimney restoration project was beleaguered by

problems, creating potential $250K loss. Analyzed contract to determine

where problematic issues lay. Replaced foreman and crew, improving

productivity. Required accountability from client, withholding labor when

unpaid balances were present and billing for delays.

Reengineered repair processes, gaining PSEG $10M annually. Difficult access

caused excessive repair times for feedwater heaters and heat exchangers,

which was impacting revenue and electricity generation. Led matrix

resources to develop quick access closures, improving repair time.

Installed closures on existing and new feedwater heaters and heat

exchangers. Saved 10 repair days per year.

Improved operational stability, increasing PSEG revenue $5M per year.

Feedwater heaters were undersized for their intended use, causing frequent

failures and forced unit outages. Researched problem and consulted with

subject matter experts. Constructed to-scale plastic models, ensuring

feasibility of equipment arrangements. Installed replacement heaters on-

schedule and under budget, improving performance and reliability.
