. Lead in process engineering department for a 4 million manufacturing

job 0.002 as tolerance), the total cost saving is about $300K

with my effort;

designed mold and tooling for a several million (may billion job in

the future) project, helped in material machinability tests;

. Process and cost analysis of current programs and projects, for

example, a green belt project saved $120K per year;

. Process improvement for powder consolidation process, a new technology

is developed for saving material input in the hot iso-static pressing

process, and saved at least $0.5 million per year

. HIP (hot iso-static pressing) can design and CNC programming work for

near net shape (NNS) and CNC machine shop; new product and fixture

design for NNS;

. Process improvement for ISO14001 and OSHA certification, justified and

wrote RFI (request for investment) for new machines and process

improvement ($100k-$400K);

. Initialize the concept of design for manufacturability for Be NNS;

. Project management training and capital project management experience

such as purchasing and installing a Makino wire EDM machine;

. Improve the machining capability of the EDM machine shop;

. Justify new technologies to be used such as diamond wire saw

Assistant/Associate Professor, early promoted in 2009 and tenured in 2010

for Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program, Department of Engineering

Technology & Management, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD.,

7/2004- 08/2011

. Setup and maintained CNC/CAM lab including inspection/quality equipment

such as CMM, gages, optical comparator, and machine tools, and designed

and directed hundreds of hands-on projects using the lab ($ 60K were

spent by me in software, materials, tools, fixture, and equipment

upgrade, one graduate student is working in this lab under my

supervision);

. Supervised at least 60 undergraduate tooling projects related to design,

tooling methods, and N/C codes generation using GibbsCAM,

Pro/Engineering or SolidWorks, and CNC machines (tolerance of most parts

were controlled in 0.010".) ;

. Supervised hundreds of undergraduate solid modeling projects using

SolidWorks;

. Taught courses in GD&T, CAD, manufacturing process, CAM/CNC, tooling

methods & measurement, production and inventory management and

advanced manufacturing management, lean manufacturing concepts and

practices were covered in most of my courses (many students became

manufacturing engineers, CNC programmer or tool designers);

. Directed graduates students in industry-based research papers related

to lean manufacturing, collaborative design environment, product data

management and supply chain management ( one graduate student became

the lead lean engineer in the local electronic company and one

student became the product support leader);

Project engineering manager, L.H.Thomson Co. (Boeing Silver Certified

Supplier and ISO9000 certified), GA, 7/2002-7/2004

. Developed new products from initial ideas, prototype, FEA analysis,

failure test, to production plan, e.g. redesigned a part with 7%

stronger and 10% lighter and won more market share in the high-end

bike market (new designs in top clamp and seat-post ensured the

company to have a total new product family with higher retail prices,

listed as Masterpiece in the webpage
