Experience
Ford Motor Company (Chicago, IL)
Process Improvement Engineer – December 2013 – Present
• Led in the launch of 24 new product lines with 89 new total parts-
complexity by implementing operating standards, back up processes,
error proofing, visual aids, material handling routes, ergonomic relief,
safety procedures and absentee allowance
• Performed time studies and audits on workstations with over cy-
cled conditions to reduce wheel scrap cost to $135,615 YTD from
$183,378 2014 YTD. Time studies provided the data need to virtually
shift the workstation to increase the jobs produced per hour from 60.1
to 63.4
• Developed and managed process layouts to decrease inventory
concerns and improve cycle time by .802 to .753 per unit, this in re-
turn improved the first time throughput 7%
• Performed quantitative analysis on individual workstations to de-
termine what job elements could be rebalanced in order to reduce 4.2
heads per shift to resolve manpower constraints and drive cost while
adhering to lean and world class manufacturing
• Observe and document the operator’s performance compared to
the process standards in order to train and engage the workforce to
adhere to the safety/quality standards of the company
• Set and enforce workstation standards with continuous impro-
vement of error proofing, workstation layout, ergonomic concerns,
time studies, and operating procedures in order to support union
workforce
• Met the target safety standards by identifying and making correc-
tive actions on 5 items a week, achieving a 5S Standards score grea-
ter or equal to 50, having a serious injury rate below .54, having less
than 1.44 operators with days away from work restricted or with time
off
Chrysler Assembly Plant (Warren, MI)
Production Supervisor – June 2011 – December 2011
• Manage 4 work teams with 12 operators on each team to build
over 480 units at 97% efficiency
• Implement and ensure adherence to World Class Manufacturing
processes
• Facilitate effective and efficient use of equipment and work flow
by evaluating techniques deployed
• Develop reporting procedures and systems to facilitate correc-
tions to non-conformities within process
Stryker Medical Assembly Plant (Portage, MI)
Project Engineer – August 2010 – May 2011
• Increased identification and traceability throughout the manufac-
turing facility by 85%
• A $563,300 cost analysis was completed to determine the
amount of money that poor identification and tractability was costing
the company on an annual basis
• Adhere to FDA regulations and ISO regulatory committees while
increasing customer satisfaction
