SUMMARY
I am a quality/reliability professional with extensive statistical expertise and accomplishments improving global supply chain performance and reducing cost by developing metrics and analysis tools targeted to identify gaps between design, process capabilities, delivered quality, product reliability, and performance to plan.
I significantly improved process controls at the local level as well as tool development for corporate metrics. My emphasis is lean six sigma cost savings, incorporating process quality targets linked to manufacturing capabilities with statistical process control techniques to maintain improvement levels. My data analysis experience and skills resulted in improved field service performance, customer support operations, end to end supply chain performance, on time deliveries and warranty cost avoidance. Data quality as well, was incorporated as an input to the continuous improvement process.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Quality Reliability Statistical Analyst
Metrom-Rail Design Manufacturer and Markets Positive Train Control Products 4/2018 – 6/2018
Developed customer specific reliability demonstration plan with supporting reliability control plan for on going compliance. Reliability evaluation template developed allowing Design Engineering to select circuit configurations needed to meet customer specific reliability requirements, as well as increase the probability of passing the reliability demonstration tests.
Quality Reliability Statistical Analyst
Whirlpool - Multinational Manufacturer and Marketer of Home Appliances 1/2017 – 7/2017
I developed and the automated Measurement System Evaluation analysis with supporting analytics identifying real time manufacturing test issues. I automated analytics, which identified leading factors affecting production quality, field failures and process inefficiencies.
Quality Reliability Statistical Analyst
Weber Stephens - Manufacturer of charcoal, Gas and Electric Outdoor Grills 6/2015 – 11/2016
I developed and implemented automated statistical analysis tools within the manufacturing and warranty reporting process while also improving the reporting work flow. Developed C=0 Incoming inspection sampling plans resulting in 68K savings. Developed accelerated reliability testing plans to ID and correct warranty failure modes resulting in 200K savings. Improved inventory management reducing cycle counts by 75%. Reduced warranty claims by correlating warranty reliability to the returned product’s chemical composition, saving 200K
Senior Quality Reliability Engineer
Tellabs (Coriant) - Telecommunications Equipment and Service 12/2005 – 11/2015
I developed and implemented significant improvements to the supply chain measurements and performance metrics with focus on multi level process controls, resulting in on time performance from 88% to 95%. Developed and deployed multi national reporting and analysis tools for continuous lean process improvement while also identifying opportunities for significantly improving overall in process yields from 92% to 95%. Supported all lean and 6 sigma corporate improvement initiatives within the DMAIC process with analytics and controls. Lean tasks delivered 10M plus in savings. Developed and deployed improved SPC with alignment to process capabilities. Provided measures to justify reductions in inspection, HASS and in line test resources. Significant savings by developing data mining tools to optimize manufacturing yields,+7%, warranty performance,400K savings, on time deliveries and customer satisfaction via survey data.

Principal Quality Reliability Engineer
SanDisk - Manufacturer of Flash Memory, Cards, Readers and USB Memory 1/2001 – 1/2005
I developed and implemented supply chain quality and reliability performance reports for retail and OEM channels with on demand metrics and alarms for product or process deviations.
Assisted with automating Engineering characterization reporting with .jpg outputs for all Cpk exhibits, saving 500K in admin costs. Developed reliability demonstration and sample plans to minimize inspection and test resources needed to demonstrate conformance to both product and customer requirements, improving on time performance by 50%, reducing test costs by 100K
Quality Reliability Engineer
Dell Computer – Multinational Computer and Technology Company 8/1998 – 1/2001
I developed and implemented "Cost of Ownership Model" which established quality and reliability goals, measurements and statistical limits. Responsible for 20M hard money warranty recoveries. Awarded President’s Recognition for warranty recovery
