Resume:

Dear Mr/ Ms:

I am writing to request that you review my resume for a Quality Engineer

position.

For 19 years I have worked in the Quality Departments of several automotive

suppliers. I have held positions as a Quality Engineer, interim Quality

Manager and most recently Supplier Quality Engineer. My strengths lie in

the areas of supplier and customer relations (both foreign and domestic),

setting-up quality systems and work standardization. I have also lead

companies through QS 9000 and recertification of QS 9000, as well as the

next level of TS16949 and ISO 14001.

While at Johnson Controls, Inc. I received Greenbelt certification. My

Greenbelt project implemented better work flow and balance to the

production line by using time studies and pokie yoke devices. To improve

efficiency and maintain accurate product completion, the pokie yokes were

introduced to eliminate a problem of missing components during the product

build. The end result was the elimination of a PRR cost of $4,500 from

Customer.

As I am sure you are aware, the automotive industry has been volatile in

the recent years. In the last 5 years I have been a part of two plant

closings and a plant-wide workforce reduction. I am looking forward to

hearing from you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Randy Grider
