To Hiring Review person(s),
Hello my name is Bill Hohn
I have extensive experience in the quality arena with automotive manufacturing, injection
molding and. Medical devices. The injection molding machines ranged from about 125
tons up to 3000 tons. Those quality responsibilities include incoming inspection, in
process inspection, finished product inspection, statistical yield analysis with subsequent
improvement where needed, dock and packaging audits, then last but certainly not least
customer contact.
I have a solid understanding of statistics and very familiar with processes like
• Pad Printing
• Insert and Over Molding,
• Sonic Welding
Final Assembly Packaging
•
I fully understand the need for continuous improvement and I constantly strive to further
improve products and processes. Improvement is critical to stay in the forefront of quality
and customer satisfaction. Continuous improvement can be done on an individual basis or
via team concept. Either way it is critical to a company’s success.
My experience has allowed me to work closely with engineering and production
throughout my career. I have a solid understanding of process establishment and
improvement, statistics, TS16949, ISO9000 with PPAP, FMEA, Control plans, flow
charts and I have achieved my green belt of six sigma. I also have my lead auditors
certification and I have led the ISO/TS16949 ISO13485 certification of three companies.
I am fully knowledgeable in computer skills usage and Microsoft operating systems.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Bill Hohn
