WORK EXPERIENCE

Lean Manufacturing Industrial Engineer, Beckman Coulter, Miami, Fl, 6/16/08-

Present

. Lead the implementation of Lean Manufacturing/Six-Sigma principles in

the assembly process of hematology equipments

. Conducted simulation training in order to facilitate the

implementation of Lean Manufacturing principles in the assembly

process.

. Conducted Lean Manufacturing training to associates in order to

increase lean awareness among associates and managers.

. Provided coaching and guidance to assembly process supervisors during

the implementation of Lean Manufacturing/Six-Sigma philosophy

. Designed pull systems, flow analysis, cell designs and inventory

reduction initiatives in order to reduce cost, lead time and quality

in hematology and flow Cytometry assembly lines

. Reduced assembly lead time in LH 500 manufacturing lines major sub-

assemblies, and final assembly by 70%

. Improved space utilization in LH 500 manufacturing lines by 62%

implementing an innovative flexible cell design

. Led and Implemented work place organization, 5's and visual system in

the assembly lines in order to simplify material delivery, reduce

point of use inventory, reduce cycle time and eliminate waste from

process stations.

. Developed value stream maps for Hematology and Cytometry assembly

lines including raw materials inventory, work in process, finish good

inventory to identify non-value added tasks and bottlenecks that

increased assembly lead time in order to implement the initiative of

Build to Install.

. Implemented a synchronous manufacturing schedule in the assembly

process of the LH 500 hematology line with 50% lead time reduction in

major sub-assemblies

. Implemented and combined the philosophies of constraint management,

Lean, Six-sigma, Quick response manufacturing and agility into one

synergist manufacturing strategy that led to reduction of cost by

$700,000 a year per assembly line.

. Implemented the principles of working in parallel and quick

changeovers that led to the development and implementation of flexible

manufacturing systems and lead time reductions

. Developed and implemented jigs and fixtures (poka yoke) to avoid

errors in the operations of cutting and assembling of tubing sub-

assemblies.

. Developed and implemented a level load schedule for assemblers to

synchronize the flow of work in process (single piece flow) from

flexible cells to the pace of the final assembly process.

. Determined and implemented point of use kanban inventory levels that

were tied to the continuous replenishment of material from the

warehouse to assembly line to avoid stoppages and shortages

Process Improvement Engineer, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Everett, WA,

07/22/2005-5/29/2008

.Led the implementation of Synchronous Manufacturing principles in the

Final Assembly area of the 747 production line.

.Led the implementation of Critical Chain Project Management in the Final

Assembly area of the 747 production line

.Worked in Kaizen events in the Wing/Gear area of the 747 production line

to improve material delivery and implemented visual control systems in

different areas of the 747 Gear/Wing area assembly shop.

. Implemented the principles of 5's and manufacturing cells in the nose

gear area to eliminate non-value added activities

.Led the facilitation of employee involvement program in the Final Assembly

Industrial engineering group.

.Build and maintained the production schedule for the assembly process of

the 787 airplane.

.Developed a constraint based schedule in the ERC Job shop that resulted in

elimination of space constraints, bottlenecks and better synchronization of

resources.

. Implemented buffer management visual system to identify assembly process

progress as well as to guide the tactical implementations of Lean-Six-sigma

.Developed and implemented material delivery kits that enhanced the visual

management of sub-components as well as the reduction of errors in the

operations of picking and assembling.

Process Excellent Engineer, Cordis Corporation, Miami, FL, 9/06/2004-

07/13/2005

.Led the implementation of a defect reporting system in Cordis

manufacturing areas.

.Developed an infrastructure to identify and prioritize defects' reduction

initiatives in different manufacturing areas.

.Coached in how to properly use a defect reporting system to engineers and

supervisors in all manufacturing areas.

Manufacturing Engineer, General Electric-Wind Energy, Pensacola, FL 1/05/04-

8/27/04

.Developed the construction of a bill of material, drawings and

specifications in the design of wind blades.

.Developed product specification analysis for the redesign of a component

used in the process of wind blades.

.Evaluated process capability of different subcomponents used in the

manufacturing process of wind blades.

.Conducted facility layout analysis to improve flow of material and people

in the assembly process.

.Redesigned a platform using ergonomic principles to reduce the incidence

of accidents and awkward postures.

.Designed and implemented Kanban and JIT principles for sub-assembly

workstations.

.Implemented lean manufacturing principles of work place organization, 5's,

quick changeovers, standard work, tackt time in the machine head sub-

stations assembly process.

.Implemented visual kanban system to signal material replenishment from

warehouse to assembly head stations to synchronize material flow, reduce

space and raw material consumption.

Operation Logistics Intern, ABC Distributing, LLC, Miami, FL, 7/2003-

12/23/03

.Conducted cost analysis to evaluate the implementation of new raw

materials in the packaging process.

.Diagnosed and evaluated production line capacity in order to improve

throughput

.Implemented statistic control tools in the production process to reduce

the number of defects.
