SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

Seasoned Manufacturing Engineer with 20 years experience working in diverse

manufacturing and engineering environments. Demonstrated qualifications and

skills include:

. Project management, equipment and product design.

. Managing the bidding process including negotiating terms of contract.

. Driven to achieve and sustain tangible and measurable results by focusing

on cost reductions, work process improvements and applying problem-

solving techniques.

. Expert in developing standardized methodologies, organizing, analyzing

and engaging people in developing creative cost effective and safety

oriented solutions.

. Patient team player and leader with the ability to mentor and collaborate

with production and plant workers to accomplish technical, process and

work flow improvements.

SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS

. Launched customer product entailing design of equipment, wiring and

programming, preparing documents for product and laying out cell.

Product quoted at 50 parts per hour (PPH) with profit margin at 46%.

Actual running rate 70 to 75 parts per hour (PPH) and margin at 50%.

. Designed, programmed and directed re-engineered construction on automated

material loading and finished part removal system for low-pressure

molding process. Resulted in streamlined, fully integrated machine

operations which reduced manual operator intervention, created integrated

process diagnostic and intervention capabilities which also allowed

flexible product design changes.

. Key design engineer on a cross-functional project team responsible for

design, layout, integration and programming of a 32-station single

product line keyed to sequenced order options. Project resulted in a

fully automated hi-tech scheduling and production system which interfaced

to final assembly plant order specifications. The process ultimately

simplified line processes.

. Programmed, debugged and directed electrical installation for liquid

nitrogen process used in blow molding operation resulting in cycle

reduction of 33%.

. Planned, designed, implemented and directed installation of critical

program control modifications for 13 injection molding presses to allow

flexibility, which was previously non-existent, in accepting part design

changes during critical model change-over. Resulted in the ability to

supply final products to assembly plants. This project was successfully

completed within very short lead-times.

. Researched, implemented and installed power factor correction measures

eliminating erratic harmonic transience in plant power distribution

system resulting in utility savings of between $5,000 and $15,000 per

month. Return-on-investment at $5,000 per month within 24 months.

Selected Accomplishments (Continued)

. Researched, planned and implemented dew-point dryer system for injection

molding which created consistently stable moisture level. Resulted in a

35% reduction in equipment wear, completely eliminated parts rejection

caused by moisture and created 30% savings in process electrical costs.

. Restructured controls programming for automated material handling

equipment on injection molding presses resulting in savings of 3 seconds

per cycle, reducing maintenance downtime by 21% and simplifying machine

process set-up.

. Demonstrated ability for managing the budgeting, design, bid process and

contractor selection for engineering projects including substation

installations, transformer reclamations, equipment and manufacturing

process installations and renovations.
