***** ****** ***** ******** **.
Accomplishments:
I specialize in problem-solving PLC programming issues on automated
machinery, and troubleshooting electrical controls. I recently achieved a
30% increase in productivity through the manipulation of programming on
BPI's preform equipment to maximize the potential of the machines. I also
critiqued the paint line at BPI to streamline production, leading to a 10%
cost reduction. I have been involved in the electrical layout for two of
Affinia's facilities; Cuba, Mo., and the plant receiving our operations in
Mexico. I was also involved in the design and fabrication of equipment for
new processes. I designed all of the controls for the equipment in BPI's
plants in Cuba Mo. and Mexico city Mexico.
Objective:
I am seeking full time employment with a growing company in which I can
utilize all of the skills, knowledge, and abilities I have obtained. I
would assist the company in achieving their goals and become an asset they
depend on.
