To Whom It May Concern:
Thank you for spending a few moments of your time reviewing my cover
letter and resume in reference to the Continuous Improvement Engineer
position within your facility in the Akron Ohio area. I currently hold a
Manufacturing Engineering Staff position (level 4 Engineer) within Lockheed
Martin in Akron Ohio, and have been with LM for the past 2.5 years. As you
can see from my resume, I have a very strong Lean Manufacturing/
Industrial/ Process and Project Management background, with 14 total years
of experience, having spent 12 of those years in the Automotive Industry (9
years at Honda of America Mfg). My experience is very well rounded, having
served in these capacities in high Mass Production (4000 individual parts
shift/ 1500 units day), Build-to-Print Production, and Prototype Production
facilities. In looking over your job requirements, I believe I more than
meet the critical skills, education, and experience requirements you have
stated. Listed below are some specific examples of how I have previously
provided manufacturing leadership and strategic direction in my current
position, and with my past employers:
. Leadership/ Managerial/Engineering Skills

of developing Operations Strategic Plan, Roadmap development, and
joint implementation. 4. Solid leadership skills taking on leading
manufacturing roles to ensure project completion, working with several
levels of management and represented employees (1st EQ-36 (RPES)
Assembly, 1st MEADS (Pallet) Assembly, One-Shot (Brassboard) System).
5. Solid Managerial Skills determining required assembly tasks and
directly assigning them to represented employees on multiple shifts
(EQ-36 and MEADS).
. Luk USA: 1. Process Engineer/ Project Leader responsible for leading
Capital Equipment Justification Procedures throughout the entire
company (1000 total employees). 2. Responsible for developing all
documentation, training, and rolling out program to all engineers,
company executives, and president (75+ individuals).
. Honda of America Mfg: 1. Process Engineer/ Project Leader on numerous
cradle-to-grave Equipment Installation Projects ranging from 15K to
3.2M Capital Investment. 2. Direct supervision of all team members,
overall responsibility for task assignments, schedule, safety,
quality, cost, and installation. 3. Direct supervision of all
required subcontractors. 4. Joint responsibility for developing
department strategic plan and determining New Model Innovation and
Equipment Requirements. 5. Production Load Planner for all NA

I have a proven track record of successful projects and leadership at
Lockheed Martin, Luk, and Honda, and have given them nothing less than the
best of my abilities day after day (As a specific example of my dedication
and desire to make improvements, please see attachment of 2009 letter of
appreciation from LM Electronic Systems VP). You can be certain that I
will give your company the same level of dedication and service that I have
given my current and past employers. I would appreciate the opportunity to
