PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

W. R Grace Specialty Chemicals, Manufacturing Leadership Program

Lake

Charles, LA; Mount Pleasant, TN; Cambridge, MA; Santa Ana, CA

2006 - 2009

Plant Engineer - Six Sigma Black Belt

. Championed Six-Sigma and Lean initiatives with sound engineering to

implement productivity and waste reduction projects. Enhanced

throughput rate by 22% and reduced downtime by 37% as a result of

Engineering and Six Sigma driven projects.

. Project manager of capital and continuous improvement projects,

resulting in increased manufacturing variance from standard operating

costs, capturing total project savings of $143,000 to date.

. Design, re-engineer, negotiate pricing and procurement of existing and

future plant equipment

. Proficiency in Minitab software, statistical analysis and the DMAIC

process allowed for implementation of data driven system improvements

resulting in project continuous improvement milestones geared towards

optimizing production and reducing manufacturing waste .

. Manager of Maintenance Department and manufacturing personnel

providing leadership for all aspects of facility, equipment uptime and

process capabilities, with the underlining goal of maintaining

equipment reliability and strengthening total quality of finished

product.

. Coupled facility equipment mechanical reliability with statistical

testing to disprove the effectiveness of long established Preventative

Maintenance plan for commissioning of sister plant. Disproving the PM

effectiveness reduced frequency of scheduled PM, materials, & allowed

for additional production during previously schedule PM interval.

Resulted in project savings of $65,000 for fiscal '07.

. Lead daily briefings to Production Supervisors and Department Managers

on the status of projected shipping schedules and production issues in

regards to the different process lines.

. Reassigned to newly constructed facility, as a Six Sigma change agent

to drive natural gas utility waste, in-process product waste, standard

work of employees, and SMED/changeover projects

. Front-line management of WR Grace Fireproofing Monokote on the various

process lines by supervising production staff. Involved coordination

with front line employees, our local receivers, and other distributors

to provide high quality product loaded and shipped in a timely manner.
