OVERVIEW

I have worked in a variety of positions in the manufacturing and tool design industry. Most notably, I worked for the J. T. Slocomb Company in South Glastonbury, CT. The company was noted for quality work and most operations were done in-house from spot and fusion welding, furnace heat treating, hardening and annealing to furnace brazing.

I am certified in Lean Manufacturing and have applied the principles of Lean Manufacturing throughout my life in various positions. I ordered material for large Excello printing machines for big savings at the Budney Company. I had detailers working for me as I set-up the chuck line for Jacobs Mfg and worked the trouble areas on Jake brakes. At J T Slocomb Company I also saved millions of dollars on multiple occasions by processing aircraft jobs and forging material orders over the years at this plant. Recently, as part of a project at Manchester Community College, I created a proposal to save another million dollars per year at a local manufacturing company with a process improvement for a high volume, long run gear blank manufacturing an aircraft part.

QUALITY EXPERIENCE

Quality is what the customer requires for their end product and total satisfaction along with price and delivery. This quality requirement is not just an end product but must start up front in a timely manner from material purchase and supply to a good engineering processes, machining and or special processes (welding, heat treat, coating, etc) all to be completed as required without deviations. The final inspection with first article acceptance is required to ensure the customer’s quality requirements are completed as specified per part drawing and or contract.

While working as a manufacturing engineer at the Budney Company I also worked as a process planner, helping the inspection department by making first article packages. As a processor for J.T. Slocomb, I added SPC requirements to operation sheets. As a processor for Beacon Industries, I had to bubble each part and assemble b/p requirements for the inspection department. I also had to add these ballooned b/p numbers to the dimensions of each finished operation sheet along with in-process dimensions numbered applicably with an inspection method listed for all requirements of every operation. At each place of employment, I worked with the personnel of each in-house department as well as outside vendors as necessary. If a problem arose I would help with a root cause to correct and eliminate any recurrence. I have done department inspections and locked process inspections to ensure proper tools, gages, and process sheets were being used along with proper use and maintenance of equipment. As a quality engineer jobber at UTC, I reviewed, corrected and updated first article inspection records. I am a certified tool designer and certified in lean manufacturing.

Either directly or indirectly, I have been devoted to quality throughout my extensive experience over the years. In addition to these experiences that I offer, I am always willing to learn new methods and accept new training. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to joining your team.
