OBJECTIVE

A Quality Engineering / Supplier Quality Engineering position in a

manufacturing / business environment utilizing extensive quality/

manufacturing background.

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

Results oriented, high energy, hands on professional, with a solid record

of accomplishments in Quality Engineering, Quality Systems, Supplier

Quality Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. Experience with

multiple manufacturing processes, assembly, internal and external

customers, and domestic and international supplier management, as well as

process/procedure development, collaboration on documentation and rollout,

including training.

My strengths include strong leadership, excellent interpersonal skills,

competent, strong team player, attention to detail. Proven ability in

problem identification and root cause resolution. Knowledgeable in

ISO9000, TS16949, QS9000, DOD, and DOE requirements. Six-Sigma Green Belt

Certification. Working experience with Toyota Production System.

Committed to Lean Manufacturing and Total Quality Management Philosophy.

Hands-on background in machine tool operation and maintenance. Working

knowledge of PC applications.

PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

. Initiated formal deviation process where none existed before. Designed

documents, negotiated with various Management groups and implemented the

processes. Trained personnel and managed tracking system. Deviation

process is now well established and a precursor to drawing reconciliation

and improvement.

. Created documented 1st Article Approval process for suppliers and Amano

based on PPAP processes. Documented process instructions for suppliers

and Amano. Negotiated with Management to tailor process to Amano's

needs. Trained personnel and supply base to assure consistent drawing

and specification compliance.

. Actively participated in implementation of Toyota Production System at

Amano. Initiated problem investigations using Toyota problem solving

techniques. Supported ongoing improvements to processes.

. Worked extensively with suppliers on Root Cause investigation, effective

Quality System implementation and problem resolution. Identified

supplier, drawing and spec issues, proposed solutions, facilitated and

implemented resolution. Interfaced with Purchasing, Engineering and

suppliers to work through to resolution of design / manufacturing issues.

. Actively participated in Simultaneous Engineering teams for launch of new

products (6 new products at Amano and 2 new transmission lines at ZF

Batavia). Identified issues that impede the efficient and successful

launch of products. Supported all launch activities both within and

outside of my responsibilities. Worked with Engineering, Suppliers,

Materials and Purchasing to identify issues and resolve problems. All

new launches were successful and timely.

. Conducted manufacturing loss studies to identify opportunities for

improvement. Initiated direct hardness inspection to verify heat treated

condition of parts previously scrapped ($200,000 cost savings)

. Coordinated Action Plan Development in response to DOE external audits.

Coordinated effort to elicit system and specific corrective actions from

responsible parties. Combined corrective actions into comprehensive

Audit Response Reports for the customer.

. Developed External Audit Management System, including: audit scheduling

management; audit coordination; corrective action;

verification/validation and closure with DOE. This system has been

presented to DOE and used by the Nevada Quality Family (Nevada Test Site)

as a baseline to develop a universal DOE Audit Management System.

. Issued CAR Trend Analysis Reports and Lessons Learned Reports to FERMCO

Senior Management. These Reports provided FERMCO Management with overall

problem trend perspectives and national benchmark information to enable

system corrections needed to eliminate root cause problems and to avoid

problems encountered by other DOE sites.

. Developed purchase order requirements to assure flowdown and

accountability of specifications and drawing requirements by second tier

suppliers used by the prime vendor.

. Provided guidance and counsel to suppliers with regard to quality systems

and manufacturing processes and effective root cause analysis, resulting

in improved product quality and an overall reduction in discrepant

hardware

. Resolved out-of-control delinquent gage calibration problem (60 per

week), reducing it to zero.

. Worked closely with Air Force to develop joint hardware review system,

resulting in greater control of MRB system and parts, as well as

increased AF confidence in the integrity of the GE organization

. Organized and led Quality Circle Team, resulting in increased employee

involvement and enthusiasm.

. General Electric Aircraft Engines Patent Award, 1984. Patent #4,532,738

(8/6/85) for Blue Light Grit Blast Process - controlled removal of

coating without removal of base metal, using grit blast. $134,000 Cost

Savings, $300,000 Cost Avoidance.

. General Electric Aircraft Engines Patent Award, 1984. Patent

#4,530,861(8/6/85) for Tapeless Shotpeen Mask - pioneered Tapeless

Shotpeening of Hi-Pressure Turbine Blade Airfoil Dovetails. 80% labor

savings, $35,000 Cost Savings.
