functions. Plan, develop and implement tactical and strategic initiatives

to meet organizational performance targets within approved budgets and

timelines. Develop, train, mentor and manage performance of multiple

direct reports (>50% of the company).

. Stabilized production operations resulting in substantially improved

revenue variability (from more than 25% week to week to less than 4% w-w)

while increasing average weekly revenue shipments by over 14% in less

than 6 months.

. Created policies and standardization in business processes for

manufacturing operations, resulting in reduced operator tardiness and

absenteeism.

. Implemented tactical supply chain reviews and process changes resulting

areas. Responsible for implementing the vision, staffing, training,

developing employees and managing their performance. Identify and

implement quality, equipment reliability, technician productivity and cost

improvements. Lead and collaborate with cross functional teams.

. Drove coordinated efforts across the factory that reduced defects in the

front end of the line by 34% while reducing the measure rate by 75% and

test wafer usage by more than 50%.

. Led a demo team to complete all work on time with no incidents or

injuries while accommodating a schedule pull-in of nearly 30% (from 7

months to approximately 5 months).

. Developed and managed an annual area budget of over $18M including

monthly/quarterly reconciliation and quarterly/yearly forecasting

including hitting or surpassing all key budget and cost reduction

measures.

. Led Lean manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) area

efforts which resulted in a > 70% reduction in cycle time and a 50%

reduction in die cost across the factory and a 42% increase in tool

capacity across 7 major tool types.

. Led a kaizen that reduced cycle time 28% in one process area and, with

replication, reduced overall line cycle time by over 7%.

. Earned multiple Plant Recognition Awards for Outstanding Area Performance

(sole area to achieve PCS goals, defect reduction results, equipment

performance results).

. Managed the area through a difficult transitional time during which the

factory was being shutdown while maintaining area and factory performance

metrics at record levels.

. Developed and delivered training for a Non-Electrical Hot Work (NEHW)

permitting process that reduced typical turnaround time for a NEHW permit

from >24 hrs to approximately 15 minutes while maintaining safety

standards.

. Earned Divisional Recognition Award for staffing processes and results.

. Promoted twice over 5 years with rankings in top 15% of peers 3 of those

5 years.
