Summary of Accomplishments
In combination with a Field Engineering background I have over ten years'
in-house production line maintenance experience setting up and
participating in various shops that include a proficiency in the use of
hand tools, test equipment, calibration, certification, installation,
maintenance and repairs of electrical and mechanical equipment. Setup and
startup of specialty machinery; point to point power and signal wiring;
creating, instituting and performing practical maintenance programs (PM and
Predictive) based on individual machine performance to achieve overall
efficiency; outlining individual shift responsibilities and manufacturing
processes.
. I achieved and maintained a consistent downtime percentage of less
than 2% (1.8% average from the original 18%) and an accuracy rate
exceeding the company's guaranteed 96% "Read Rate" (98% average from
the original figure of 93%) for three and a half years - Accu-Sort
(UPS Facility, Philadelphia Airport, 118 pieces of equipment)
. I initiated a practical PM schedule that was both adaptable and
compatible to the customer's constantly changing schedules;
established an on-site component level repair depot and test
diagnostics to reduce "turn-around" time on repairs to less than one
four hour shift, increasing reliability. - Accu-Sort (UPS Facility,
Philadelphia Airport )
. I wrote and established the GMP and QC procedures for manufacturing in
providing a documented Quality Standard for assembling and building
production machines (Nano Imprint on Silicon Wafer) - Nannonex
(startup)
. Implemented and established a formal Maintenance Department and
established a PM schedule while tracking in-house projects,
maintenance, inventories and department costs ( $20M in equipment and
$500K in inventories) to show a profit for the first time in 3 years -
Parmalat Dairies
. I Incorporated individual PM's and preventive maintenance procedures
and adapting new equipment and environments resulted in downtime
dropping to 3.5% from the original 14% in less than two years.
(Decreasing downtime from 13.4 hours average based on a 6 day work
week to 1.2 hours average on a return to a 5 day work week.) - Quality
Foods
I also have a proficiency in the use Excel spreadsheets and Access
databases to customize, streamline and track costs, inventories, repairs,
maintenance, scheduling and the organizing of field operations that
included multiple sites. I have also written and produced instruction
manuals utilizing Microsoft Word, Visio and PowerPoint presentations for
individual training in the use of these custom programs, maintenance and
repair procedures and manufacturing processes.
. I wrote and developed a database in Access to organize and coordinate
functions between three remote sites to fully support inventory and
repairs at all levels, to effectively reduce cost of inventory and the
real estate required, allow remote troubleshooting on the locomotives
by establishing a separate and portable database of the error codes
into an upstream / downstream diagnostic tool based on the Locomotive
operational and fault computer codes and installed this database on
all the field Laptops - Alstom Transportation
. I wrote, developed and managed a custom Access database to combine and
organize all management functions, a spare parts inventory, PM's,
repairs, daily activities and time management - compatible and in line
with the customer's annual corporate audit and Accu-Sort's contract
requirements reducing the annual week long audit by three days and
allowing better achievement of contract goals and reducing costs -
Accu-Sort (UPS Contract)
. ? developed, managed and maintained a professional database in Access
to organize all customer repair information and functions to automate
the Help Desk, scheduling and tracking of in-house projects, updates
of system software and diagnostics for use in the field, and to
coordinate the shop and repair depots into a single source - Harland
America
. I developed and maintained five separate databases in Access 7 to
provide a user friendly system to store information during the build
of prototypes for five professional writers (operational and repair
manuals) to pull their reference information when needed (a separate
database for each project) while writing the manuals. Each database
was designed to accompany the field installation and service teams as
a quick source to function, maintenance, repair procedures and
processes on a laptop until after the installation and acceptance -
