To Whom It May Concern:
If you're looking for an individual, who can make a difference in your
tool & die, stamping environment, please schedule an interview, my resume
is only a doted map of traceable achievements and money making knowledge
that I have accomplished over the years.
From expert level trouble shooting at the press level (dies,
equipment, processes), to a fresh look with a trusted eye at a whole
operation arrangement, or even a new one, from ground up, is all one
package that I offer.
Continuous improvement, material savings, innovative solutions,
equipment adaptation and upgrades, preventive maintenance engineering
changes (dies and parts), process flow, and ergonomics, should, and must,
translate in million dollar savings.
Double licensed as a toolmaker, a mechanical engineering diploma, as
well as many other courses. On the job training in transfer systems, robot
automation, deep understanding of dies (die building- from build to run at
rate) plus an understanding of the economic side of it, completes my
expertise in metal stamping.
I assure you I will make myself a valuable asset for you in this
challenging economy.
Sincerely,
Calin Crudu
