RELATIVE WORK EXPERIENCE

April 2014 to March 2015 MasterBrand Ferdinand, IN

Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Finish Department

Optimized transfer efficiency of wood surface colorants by implementing fluid dynamics principals resulting in lowering colorant raw material cost by 40% or $750,000.00 annually

Design and Implemented production flow improvements eliminating the number one Six Sigma process Pareto defect: Excess handling mars. Accomplished by leading a Kaizen event to define product movement pathways from internal supplier to internal customer, and revisions to machine plan layouts

Championed safety improvements to high flow intersections eliminating power industrial traffic and pedestrian incidents

Led Kaizen event eliminating defects due to inconsistent colorant coverage: Identified and optimized machine synchronizing settings and inconsistent in fastener installation orientations lowering customer concerns 96%

August 2013 to April 2014 ATMI Corporation Austin, TX

Manufacturing Engineer and Project Management

Process optimization analysis through value stream mapping, 8D root cause analysis and corrective action implementation and process operator team building events

New and expanding markets research with an emphasis on lean manufacturing and return on investment

Equipment/machine analysis for optimum product and work in progress flow on the manufacturing floor

New product design and engineering support for improved processes, ECN, MCN and BOM’s

November 2012 to August 2013 TLMI Corporation, (Contract) Austin, TX

Senior Process Engineer

Optimized base line parameters for electrolytic plating baths for all wafer fabrication

Direct Engineering process and resource development

Management Representative for ISO9001:2008

2011 to November 2012 Durcon, Inc. Taylor, TX

Senior Process Engineer

Developed engineer review of all custom production, implementing improved inter-department communication, resulting in elimination of duplicate orders/over-production and drove 96% on time delivery.

Directed research of environmentally friendly tool conditioner alternatives and company energy use audit.

Managed research of fluid dynamics, mixing in the process industry and mixing under vacuum to increase Casting Department process capacity.

Managed product finishing process improvements: Formula review, process review and improvement, equipment evaluation and implementation resulting in quality improvement saving $13,000.00 in annual warranty cost, $15,000.00 in annual raw material savings and assuring TCEQ Air Quality compliance.

ISO9001:2008 Management Representative: Maintained ISO9001:2008 Quality Management System Certification, (QMS)

2009 to 2011 Durcon, Inc. Taylor, TX and Canton, MI

Process Engineer III

Directed formula optimization and implemented laboratory-to-production-scale of a new green product line which increased company revenues by extending company reach into LEED end user projects.

Design and procurement of raw material control and delivery system improvements derived from research of Epoxy systems’ chemistry and desired products’ material properties, resulting in 8% improved company yield.

Technical Team Leader, (Durcon and Suppliers’ personnel resources): Leveraged suppliers knowledge, continuing engineering education and understanding Durcon’s production capability to drive down raw material costs through lean manufacturing implementation.

ISO9001:2008 Management Representative: Maintained ISO9001:2008 QMS Certification

Developed custom tooling processes through design of a First Article Inspection process and communications and collaboration with Master Mold Builders and tooling and instrument makers, (tool suppliers), that decreased product dimensional non-conformances by 80%, increased tool life, and increased customers’ proprietary tool yield.

Improved product color consistency by establishing colorant raw material specifications and controlled dosing coupled with cure oven adjustments, identified by analyzing cure oven Thermal Profiles, which eliminated discoloration due to heat differences during heat treatment cycles.

Developed Custom Color Matching Processes and Managed production training, implementation and tracking of Custom Color Processes for expansion into the commercial and residential countertop markets.

Directed procurement of new CNC machines for epoxy and phenolic products fabrication.

Managed design, procurement and implementation of bulk raw material delivery system, for new raw material and new green product.

2006 to 2007 Durcon, Inc. Taylor, TX

Process Engineer

Leader of the Durcon Continuous Improvement Team, (CIT). Facilitated inter-plant technical team meetings and managed projects prioritized by the CIT for process and product improvements, developing a lean culture across all company departments and determination of non-conformances root-causes analyses through Kaizen events.

Managed improved raw material and process vessels heating project by engineering barrier fluid flow improvements. This project was constrained by the raw material and intermediate process material properties required for the highest quality product through batch processing and resulted in piping and control instrumentation modifications.

Managed all standard material properties testing for Sales and Marketing. Test included ASTM standards for construction materials required by government entities, public schools, universities and hospitals. The test results facilitated NSF, Greenguard, LEED, and SCS certifications and were used by the Sales team to educate the customer.
