Eric Thompson

Objective To use the knowledge gained from on the job experience combined with

education to help the company achieve goals, create/continue lean

manufacturing processes and ultimately gain sustainability for the future

through creative ideas, outside thinking and cooperation with others.

Education [ 2002-2006 ] Shawnee State University Portsmouth, OH

Plastics Engineering Technology

Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Plastics Engineering

Technology. During college career; studied many aspects of plastic

polymers and manufacturing such as advanced processing, material

science, and statistics for quality control.

College Courses Advanced Processing Injection Molding

Statistical Analysis/Quality Control Extrusion

Mold Design/Part Design Plant/Facility Design

Polymer Material Science Moldflow/Finite Analysis

Composites/Interfacial Engineering Physics

Production Cost Analysis Films and Foams

Employment [07-Current] Milacron Inc. Batavia, OH

Roboshot Product Specialist

Provide customer support for different technical issues such as

machine setup, operation, and process problems. Also provided basic

and advanced training pre/post-sale for machine operations and the

injection molding process.

Traveled to Japan for advanced training on Fanuc electric injection

molding machines.

Been involved with different engineering meetings which discussed

customer issues, also internal engineering meetings which were

designed to help improve the future and manufacturing cost reduction

of the Roboshot machine.

Worked with a customer to integrate an automation cell consisting of

robots and vision systems to the machine. Part rejects were simply not

an option. This cut back on the number of operators needed to run the

machine, and also the number of quality personnel to inspect

containers of parts. Doing this created a lean environment by utilizing

new technology with existing technology to save money.

Examined customer problem with machine not running properly.

Determined that improper screw design was being used. Guided

customer to use proper design, and eventually saved up to 7 seconds

on cycle time along with a more efficient energy saving process. This

gave the customer more quality parts in a shorter amount of time

saving the customer an untold amount of money.

Process Engineer

The Process Engineer was required to make sure all lines are running

well and producing quality parts along with improving lean

manufacturing processes.

Also essential was to study each line and try to create new processes

or modify the current one to produce a greater number of quality parts

at a lower cost, this could be in a group setting or alone.

Helped with different new model changes working with the quality

department, TS Certification Department, the customer and vendor to

ensure the changes were put in to place, were correct and effective.

Solved problem of poor quality parts by examining tooling and the

molding process. The result was determined to be incorrect grade of

material along with poor molding practices. Before changes, the

process had potential to reject up to 500 pieces per day; once I created

correct operation instructions and the proper material was in place,

practically all scrap was eliminated. Scrap was drastically reduced by

at least 60-80%.

Lead Process Technician

As a lead process technician it was the responsibility of the crew to

ensure that quality injection molded parts were ran every shift by

making adjustments to the process setup, along with completing tool

changes in a safe and efficient manner.

Troubleshoot many different part quality problems through 4M,

scientific molding or other methods. As well as different machine and

robot associated problems.

Expected to supervise, lead and mentor all other technicians, material

handlers and maintenance members on my shift and others through

teaching and by example.

Worked closely with Process Engineer and was able to redesign a

th

molding cell which formerly required one full operator, to 1/8 operator.

This was done by implementing lean manufacturing along with process

analysis and equipment utilization. Using an average operator wage of

10.00/hr and 2080 working hours per year, this saved the company

over 18,000.00/shift/year. This was on a newly started part.
