Experience
Martin Innovations, Apex, NC 12/01/07 - 06/03/09
Operations Manager / Quality Manager
As the Operations Manager for Martin Innovations I was responsible for
coordinating the manufacturing efforts of a FDA / UL / MET regulated
medical device facility. I lead the production group that provided a
consistent quality product, in the most efficient manner possible, while
ensuring compliance with company and government guidelines.
As the Quality Manager for Martin Innovations I directed the creation of
the quality system following FDA guidelines for the production of powered
exam tables and wheelchairs. I accomplished this by incorporating detailed
production travelers, assembly instructions and drawings, critical QC
checks and cycle tests along with a stringent product serialization
process.
Triumph Boats, Durham, NC 11/10/01 - 11/02/07
Senior Manufacturing Engineer/ Department Manager
As Senior Manufacturing Engineer I was responsible for improving plant
operations and processes to reduce manufacturing costs and improve lead
times. I was also responsible for maintaining the current standards data
base for COGs and documenting labor standards. One specific project I
directed was a piece of CNC equipment for producing plastic component
parts. The project had a ROI of four months and a cost saving in excess of
$750,000.
In 2002 I lead a lean improvement team in the sub-assembly area of the
facility. After the event, the lead time was reduced to 3 hours down form
2 days, WIP was reduced to day down from 2 days and quality was improved
50%. Each improvement was accomplished by following Lean principles:
study the current state, document the non-value added activities, document
excessive WIP and then make the necessary improvements to obtain your
goals.
As a Department Manager at Triumph Boats I had 20+ associates reporting to
me in two areas. In each area I was tasked with managing daily production,
setting manpower requirements and maintaining quality standards.
The Hon Company, Louisburg, NC 10/15/00 -
11/01/01
Manufacturing Engineering
As a Manufacturing Engineer for the Hon Company I directed the
improvements of plant efficiencies and improving work flow following
"Lean" manufacturing principles. The basic concepts were to minimizing
inventory (WIP) while at the same time improving lead times and reducing
COGs. While at Hon I directed numerous Kaizen (continuous improvement)
teams. Each team was responsible for eliminating up to five safety issues,
reducing cycle times and reducing WIP. The most successful team that I was
a part of focused in the panel area of the facility. At the end of the one
week event the group reduced WIP by $200,000, reduced cycle time from 3
days to 2 hours and eliminated numerous safety hazards.
Kewaunee Scientific Corporation, Statesville, NC 10/14/96 -
10/01/00
Manufacturing Engineering Manager
As the Manufacturing Engineering Manager at Kewaunee Scientific
Corporation, I directed the upgrading of the standard costing systems and
MRP ordering system. I began by performing detailed time studies of each
work center and each operation. I focused on value and non-value added
operations, batch sizes, WIP and inventory totals. At the same time I
created detailed equipment layouts to study and improve work flow. This
information was used to build a beginning data base of work standards and
COGs, a basic starting point to measure future improvements. Also, the
studies and times were used to create regression models for costing of new
orders.
After the beginning COGs were determined, the improvements could begin.
The improvements ranged from new equipment implementations that saved over
5 million dollars, to re-laying out equipment for optimal work flow. As a
result, plant efficiencies improved from 50% to an all time high of 92 %.
During these improvements and layout changes, safety was a number one
priority. Before each equipment or process change I developed improvement
teams of members from the effected area to address and solve safety
concerns. The group involvement and team approach to safety was a major
role in the successes and plant improvements.
