PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
ITT GEOSPATIAL SYSTEM, Rochester, NY 2004 - 2010
Technical Lead 2007 - 2010
Responsible for process enhancements utilizing lean manufacturing tools
across the Integrated Product Team (IPT). Technical direction and input
across various functional groups. Deployment of new technologies that
addressed business unit value stream map issues reducing waste.
. As a Manufacturing Engineer our responsibilities included both
Manufacturing and Quality Engineering functions responsible for all
required documents, specifications, change implementation and product
verification (inspection /secondary operation certification/incoming
inspection/rev correlation).
. Team member of supplier review board monitoring current approved supplier
cost, schedule, quality metrics along with responsibilities for new
vendor approval and new technology review for implementation.
. Performed supplier quality audits and assisted with resolving required
corrective actions resulting from findings. A natural tie in to this
process is supplier enhancement and was responsible for assisting
suppliers in developing capabilities utilizing supplier performance
metrics, audit results, core competency evaluations and supplier business
plans.
. I was the team member responsible for handling internal ISO audits. This
responsibility included training and preparation of the team for the
audit along with disposition/correction/follow up for any findings or
observations.
. Participated on the Material Review Board (MRB), Change Control Board
(CCB) and the Corrective Action Board (CAB) responsible for defining the
appropriate actions.
. Developed command media for new processes within the IPT for added
equipment such as the digital scanner, Romer arm and laser tracker.
Additionally worked with facilities to develop machine maintenance plan
and calibration lab to develop equipment calibration plans for the
implemented equipment.

. Developed and implemented use of ANSI 14.41/GSFC 3D model file
utilization process across the Integrated Product Team (IPT). The process
saved 80% detail drawing creation time, streamlined design review process
saving 30% Engineering time, enabled direct to file CNC machining and
inspection saving cost and schedule.
. Review board team member for Design for Manufacturabilty, Design
Readiness and Manufacturing Readiness responsible for improvement
suggestions and approval to proceed.
. Implemented a Poka-Yoke, failsafe system, utilizing programmable
electronic scales eliminating operational errors, automating product
compliance reports eliminating NMDR rework and QA time by 30%.
. Instituted 5S practices by creation of work cells, work cell reporting
charts and improvement planning resulting in 10% time savings.
. Six Sigma Green Belt project responded to customer issue to reduce
electronic component and wire routing schedule. The project solution
deployed laser projection technology reducing schedule time by 50% and
also provided for automated inspection. A follow on green belt project
deployed digital inspection equipment (flatbed scanner, Romer arm)
responding to issues related to delays in manual inspection within the
IPT. After implementation the project saved 80% touch time in inspection
and reporting while improving documentation.
FLOW Manager 2004 - 2007
Coordinated all manufacturing activities related to production of
classified and un-classified program composite structures. Managed
scheduling and staff, led production and manufacturing engineers across 5
programs, each consisting of up to 8 sub-assemblies. Participated in
design process, design of tooling, assembly sequence, external
subcontracts, NMDR/RCCA/MRB activities, scheduling and daily task burn
down.
. Developed daily shop floor task meetings, streamlining communications on
production related issues, eliminating schedule impacts, shop floor
conflicts.
. Implemented a cross-functional, forward-looking schedule session,
resolving ECO/Supply Chain impacts by assigning task completion dates and
generating credible plan implementation reducing waste time by 5%.
. Expanded composite CNC machine capabilities reducing cycle time by 20%
with improved component quality.
