EDUCATION, HONORS, & ACTIVITIES:

University of Arkansas: Fayetteville, AR Major: Industrial Engineering, GPA: 3.38 Chancellor's List, Dean's List, University of Arkansas Honors College, Honor Council Judge, Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), Peer Spiritual Leader/Mentor, BYX (Beta Upsilon Chi) SKILLS:

Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, ARENA Simulation, AutoCAD Product & Workplace Design, Manufacturing Design Class (A) EASEWorks Time-Study Software, MINITAB Statistical Analysis Software, C++, AMPL, VBA (Excel Macros), AML/2, ORACLE Database EXPERIENCE:

University of Arkansas: Fayetteville, AR (Research Assistant) February 2015 to Current CELDi project sponsored by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) documenting a weapon procurement model. Daily Duties: Arena Simulation Model Analysis

Summarizing entire process into a pseudo-code form & ensuring current model is working as intended.

Providing detailed documentation of how the model works & developing new and more effective ways to model the process. Rheem Manufacturing: Fort Smith, AR (Industrial Eng. Intern) May 2014 to August 2014 A Leading Global Producer of Efficient Heating, Cooling & Water Heating Products Daily Duties & Projects: Lean Manufacturing & Facility Layout

Created standard work instructions for workers by creating a directory of all model assembly variations.

Performed time study verification on previous existing workstations using new EASE software.

Updated line balances and set manpower requirements based on assembly line Takt times.

Given full responsibility for all time studies and line balances for one assembly line. (Worked on other lines as well)

Overall, contributed in saving approximately $1 Million in labor per year across four assembly lines. PROJECTS:

Strategically designed a workstation layout in AutoCAD for a U-shaped assembly line on a $10,000 budget that could support 8 operators. Wrote the capital budget request which included the justification of how the project would enable Rheem to accommodate NIOSH labor standards and also included the estimated payback period. The payback period was determined by translating the removal of non-value added activity to monetary annual savings. The proposed design was accepted and is currently in construction at Rheem. Designed and implemented a user friendly VBA macro enabled workbook for my assembly line to manage unit model type databases imported from ORACLE. The project was not assigned, but I saw an opportunity for improving the current system and was given permission to try and model a better solution. Kaizen Blitz group project where other interns would take measurement and document observations on site and report them to me. I was then responsible for designing (in AutoCAD) and writing capital budget request for the implementation of a new workstation platform intended for 2 operators that would be placed alongside an assembly line on a $12,000 budget. This was built primarily to help Rheem adhere to NIOSH labor standards but it also resulted in removal of non-value added activity.
