improvement and waste (loss) elimination.
Work Experience
National Semiconductor, Arlington TX April 2007-Present
Sr. Facilities Support Manager
. Manage ten facilities maintenance technicians/operators and nine
hazardous production materials (HPM) technicians who specialize in
mechanical and control systems, DI (deionized) water production and
gas/chemical delivery systems to support wafer fab manufacturing.
. Set priorities daily for repairs and preventative maintenance and develop
and track individual and group goals to drive performance improvement.
. Led the implementation of new computerized maintenance management system
(CMMS) in facilities maintenance and HPM, resulting in increased
preventative maintenance completion rates, faster repair times and
improved tracking and documentation of equipment performance.
. Expanded and renewed 5S (workplace organization methodology) in
facilities and HPM areas to improve organization, safety and problem
identification.
. Coach and mentor employees and resolve employee issues when needed.
Write and deliver employee performance reviews and development plans
twice a year.
. Successfully led hiring and training efforts of four entry level
facilities technicians after a 60% voluntary head count reduction, with
no facility interruptions to manufacturing.
National Semiconductor, Arlington TX May 1998-March
2007
Sr. Manufacturing Engineering Manager (Six Sigma Black Belt)
. Led Site Total Productive Manufacturing (TPM) implementation. This
included facilitating Site TPM Steering Group (eight pillar owners and
plant manager), Autonomous Maintenance teams and implementation of the
Planned Maintenance Pillar and Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS)
Pillar.
. Led SCANDOS (5S + Safety) implementation to improved workplace
organization and elimination unsafe conditions, resulting in 66%
improvement in safety scorecard.
. Led Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) II Analysis implementation to
improve equipment operating performance and maintenance cost-
effectiveness.
. Led implementation teams to achieve ISO14001 and OHSAS18001
(Environmental, Health and Safety Management Systems) site
certifications.
. Led several Six Sigma project teams focusing on reducing equipment cost,
reducing quality incidents and improving maintenance technician
productivity.
