• Maximized
parts
localization
to
reduce
the
purchased
parts
cost
from
Japan/China
for
complicated
and large
parts
with
high
precision.
For
new
large
product
setup
in
2016,
sheet
metal
fabrication
engineering division
reduced
cost
by
$21
per
unit.
This
means
that
annual
cost
saving
amount
achieves
403K
(=
$21
X 1600

X
12
month)
• Prepared
and
provided
dies/tools/fixtures
to
in- house
production
in
product
development
of
next generation
multifunction
printers.
During
providing
dies/tools/fixtures,
conduct
die
trial,
and
then evaluate
mechanical
functions
of
dies/tools/fixtures
and
parts
quality.
• Visited
the
die
manufacturer
in
Japan
with
superior
to
observe
and
conduct
first
trial
of
new
dies.
Each trial
consisted
evaluating
dies
and
part
tolerance
in
addition
to
foolproof,
burr
condition,
shear
surface, smooth
motion
of
stripper/knockout
plates,
guide
pins,
setting
and
removing
parts.
• Conducted
second
engineering
die
trials
at
US
factory
using
45,
110
and
150
ton
stamping
press machines.
During
engineering
trial,
found
optimized
set- up
conditions
of
die
height
and
cushion
pressure to
maximize
the
quality.
Adjusted
and
fine
tune
up
die
if
critical
dimension
has
large
deviation.
• Completed/passed
first
article
inspection
(FAI)
and
process
capability
(Cp&Cpk)
evaluation
using coordinate
measuring
machine
(CMM),
height
gage,
calipers
and
micrometer.
Developed
programs
on CMM
for
FAI
and
Cp&Cpk
judgment.
• Created
and
modified
manufacturing
and
parts
quality
check
procedures
to
transfer
from
engineering
to production.
• Trained
production
personnel
on
new
assembly
and
manufacturing
processes
to
define
quality inspection
criteria.
• Taught
other
engineering
and
QA
personnel
how
to
inspect
and
set
parts
and
gather
data
on
CMM.
• Designed
drawing
modifications
for
existing
die/tool/fixture
by
Engineering
Design
Changes
(ECN)
from Japan.
For
example,
created
additional
elements
such
as
holes,
shapes,
or
sharp
edge
deburring
for
new engineering
changed
parts.
After
creating
modified
drawings,
conduct
die
modification
with
tooling technician
and
evaluate
die
function
&
part
quality.
Designed
die
modifications
for
additional
features and
the
die
sequence
it
was
processed.
• Prepared
technical
reports
and
presentations
to
management
during
bi- weekly
Gemba
tour.
Budgeted software
for
sheet
metal
fabrication
and
injection
mold
department.
Presented
the
benefits
of
the software
to
management
and
the
features
of
the
product.
• Strengthened
manufacturing
process
with
Kaizen
activities.
Created
fixtures
for
QC
to
create
an
effective way
to
judge
the
part
quality.
Analyzed
and
resolved
root
causes
of
problems
in
the
processes
to
support mass
production.
