KEY EXPERTISE

I effectively manage design IPT team comprised of engineering, manufacturing, quality, production and procurement to meet cost, schedule and contractual requirements while conforming to all applicable laws, regulations, company processes and procedures.

Research and analysis of engineering issues and development of innovative and cost effective solutions for manufacturing, production, ease of installation and maintainability.

I collaborate with a variety of functional areas for a team approach to low cost problem solving.

Lead checker working closely with customer verify that the family of ASME Y14 standards invoked by ASME Y14.100 covers the contractual requirements (CDRL) for the engineering drawing package or tailored as required.

I provided liaison support with MRB Authority for engineering and manufacturing. Working closely with quality control, I wrote disposition for nonconformance issues using sound judgement along with discretion to resolve fit, form or functional issues on A/C components keeping the product on schedule.

Held weekly meetings making sure the changes that need to be made have been completed and are the changes all parties agreed to. Discuss the changes as soon as possible with all vendor/suppliers for their concurrence with delivery dates. If delivery date’s slip the responsible group will be held accountable.
