Sabin Corp. Bloomington, IN

Process Engineer Research & Dev.

Nov. 1997 Nov.1999

Development of innovative injection molding processes and manufacturing

systems for medical devices while supporting production. Validated injection

molding presses on-site at facilities fabricating the equipment. Introduced new

equipment to alleviate damage to molds. Worked closely with engineers, tooling

engineers, and related staff to bring the ideal's of advance medical breakthroughs

into production. Facility operated under strict FDA/GMP guidelines.

Brought eighteen projects into production leading the way for medical technology.

One such breakthrough was the Tracheotomy Tube. After a nurse had

incorrectly performed a tracheotomy on an adult patient, using a child's

tracheotomy tube, the patient had deceased. Sabin had the ingenious ideal of

using one tracheotomy tube by cutting to fit. The tube was 12 inches long with .

100 " I.D. at the tip and .500" at the base. I processed and put into production

this project through innovative tooling efforts in half the time given to complete.

This result was a success in Sabin but most importantly patients lives.

Incorporated new equipment such as Avalon Vision Systems. Trial and placement of

this system made tooling life longer and user friendly on the floor. I had to

equipment place with a rotating arm, mounted on the rear of the machine so as it

could swing around when needed. Allowing the technician to utilize Avalon while

seeing the tool and adjusting the camera.

Placing the mold temperature controllers under the machine allowed more space, a

cleaner environment, and appealed to customers. Hard piped the controllers to

manifolds mounted on the platens made an easier set-up resulting efficient time

between jobs.

Created a mold tag system for tooling work needed and direction of tools after

production. By using a green, yellow and red tag, the tool shop and related staff

knew visually what was needed to be done with each tool at a glance.

Traveled extensively to validate new machinery. Sabin refurbished or replaced

machinery within five years allowing only the advanced equipment to be used.

Working closely with the fabrication of machines, Sabin incorporated seven new

machines.

Reason for leaving: To move back to Ohio for family reasons.

Supervised 30 employees on fifteen injection molding machines. Scheduled

production and employees to assigned jobs. Maintenance and repair of machinery

and assembly. Changed molds and troubleshooting processes. Shipping of final

product and confirmation of quality.

Repaired heat exchangers through a preventive maintenance program I established.

Worked overtime to remove and clean heat exchangers.

Oil leaks were rampant. Successfully replaced seals and pipelines that caused

money lost due to oil usage.

Decreased set-up time by standardizing jobs and utilizing machine time for longer

run times on foreseen orders. Accumulated annual orders and predicted

customer requirements.

Repaired processes that significantly impaired our production. Quality was improved

and on-time delivery percentage increased.

Reason for leaving: Recruited out of state for a better opportunity at Sabin

Corporation.
