The most notable, and longest lasting task, was developing and managing the Quality System for the GMT900 seat frame business, the Hummer H-2 full-seat assemblies, the Mustang and Mazda 6 seat frames as well as other seating related components.

During my time as the Seating Division Quality Manager the following were accomplished:

A sustained PPM (external) of <9 for any rolling 3 month period

A “World Class Supplier” rating from Lear corporation for initial quality

1.6 million units shipped in 2008 with a total of four defects received at the combination of nine customers

Our quality system was chosen as an example of responsiveness and effectiveness by A.M. General

The CMM lab was re-organized and the flow of material controlled, which improved through put by 25% without adding any indirect labor.

Through training, the CMM programmer was able to prove 0.009mm volumetric accuracy which enabled us to self-certify and use our CMM lab to perform “3rd-Party” measurements from our gauge suppliers, which saved an average of $117,000 per year in contract metrology costs.

The dimensional measurement systems were completely re-tooled to increase efficiency and promote confidence in the data presented.
