SIFCO CUSTOM MACHINING

Cell Lead/Inspector/Auditor

I was a 30 year Journeyman Painter, with over 15 years of Management experience, when at

the age of 50, decided to try something new. I started at the bottom at an entry-level position

at a Machine shop and in 5 years, I have worked my way up to a Supervisory position, in a

field that I would never have imagined. I am now the Cell Lead, for the Blade and Vane Cell,

at Sifco Custom Machining. My customers include Rolls-Royce, Standard Aero, Rolls Wood

Group, Wood Group, and Acme, among others. I have 5 people directly under me in my Cell,

along with various shared service areas, and we are responsible for overhauling various jet

engine turbine segments. I am directly involved in operational improvements to enhance

quality, improve production times and reduce costs. I help to achieve company goals by

supporting production workers to meet our goals and our customer's needs. I help maintain

necessary levels of communications between shifts in order to keep my product moving, in

order to meet turn times for my customers. I am responsible for production tracking and

quality control systems, analyzing production, quality control, and other operational reports, to

detect production problems. I am also an inspector of finished products for quality and

adherence to customer specifications. As the Cell Lead, and the person that signs the various

return to service certifications, I must be sure that products meet the customer requirements

and are within the process specifications. I have taken several Management classes through

the Manufacturer's Alliance Group, Lean Training through Manufacturer's Alliance, Lean –

The Toyota Way, and I am an ISO 9001; 2008 Auditor, certified through AQS Management

Systems.
