Cost Improvement – Reduced the number of layers of a circuit board from 11 layers to 10
layers to reduce production cost. (General Electric - 1983)
Cost Improvement – Eliminated the purchasing of a special formulated conformal coating that
was hand applied and replaced it with an off the shelf conformal coating which was half

SUBJECT: Letter of Reference for December 3, 2012
William (Bill) Kreitz
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is my personal recommendation for Bill Kreitz. I am Production Manager for a light
weight combat vehicle specifically manufactured for the US Marine Corps. I have had the good
fortune over the past six years to have Bill support this program as a Mechanical Manufacturing
Engineer responsible for developing manufacturing work instructions governing manufacturing
assembly, integration and test processes; recommending, reviewing and coordinating design
changes with the Vehicle Design Team; integrating new and changed components into
manufacturing documentation; training Assemblers and Mechanics; identifying and facilitating
manufacturing process improvements; working resolution of suppliers issues with Quality
Engineering and Procurement, and assisting the Vehicle Chief Engineer and Manufacturing
Program Manager as required to ensure complex chassis, suspension, braking, electrical,
hydraulic, air, and power pack design mix of customized and commercial off the shelf
components configurations are effectively and efficiently integrated into a uniquely complex
vehicle. We say farewell to Bill only because the engineering and manufacturing requirements
for this program are coming to an end.
I think it important to let you know that Bill willingly worked overtime on weekdays and on
weekends to support program requirements. He works efficiently individually and in Teams. Bill
is enthusiastic about his work, dedicated and loyal to the program and program Team.
I – we all are sorry to see Bill go, but as I said it is time for this program to end.
I highly recommend Bill for employment. He will be a valued asset in any organization.
Sincerely,
William L. Kreitz, Sr.
