PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

HOUDINI INC. / WINE COUNTRY GIFT BASKETS –Fullerton & Buena Park, California

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER INTERN (07/2014

– 12/2014)

Challenged with providing operational support for 16 assembly lines for an upscale food & wine gift

baskets manufacturer. Initiated time studies as needed to address production line efficiencies. Analyzed

and reengineered production sequences to remove bottlenecks and improve flow. Collaborated with

administrative and operations teams to ensure production lines operated smoothly according to line

staffing settings. Provided ongoing production support and troubleshooting.

Selected Contributions:

Slashed labor costs by 14% for a high-volume product through a comprehensive process review.

Reduced inspection times by 28% for a rework project by simplifying the inspection process and

implementing measures to reduce inspection time.

Improved line efficiencies by conducting time studies, balancing work tasks, identifying

bottlenecks, and developing solutions.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER INTERN (03/2012

– 06/2012)

Integrated quickly into three-person team of Industrial Engineers self-motivated to define the parameters

for a process improvement project. Conducted a process mapping of the Labor & Delivery process to

understand the flow of events. Analyzed HCAHPS (patient satisfaction survey) scores and quickly

identified areas needing immediate attention. Spearheaded a Kaizen exercise with IE tools to determine

reasons for low HCAHPS scores. Drafted a final report summarizing the problem solving process and our

findings.

Selected Contributions:

Led a Kaizen exercise with the nursing staff utilizing Industrial Engineering tools such as Root

Cause Analysis, Fishbone Diagrams, and the 5Whys to determine possible causes for low patient

satisfactions scores. Brainstormed and presented potential solutions to the nursing staff for

implementation.
