Excellent leadership skills, knowledgeable in directing cross-functional teams in the design and deployment of manufacturing and customer service best practices.
Excels at forming and preserving superior relationships with customers, subordinates, peers, and senior leaders.
CORE SKILL AREAS:
Leadership
- As a SCANDO (LEAN) Process leader, spearheaded the establishment of a one-stop resource “Sharkcage”, combining several tools into a mobile single point-of use on demand toolset.
- Led an eight-member team to reduce repair times of high-demand amplifiers after customer complaints of severe delinquency. Streamlined processes to cut extraneous actions - cutting turnaround times by 50%.
- Organized and managed the cell’s point of use inventory. Reduced manpower costs and lowered spending by 30 percent.
- Led a three-member tiger team to improve unit process flow of amplifiers from receiving to repair, reducing turn around time by half.
- Guided the activities of seven electronics technicians, coordinating between management and team members while supervising daily output of units. Increased communication between shifts, by prioritizing and assigning workers to ensure the cell exceeded monthly goals.
- Spearheaded the reorganization of test area output of units. Using LEAN, streamlined product flow by reducing distance between test equipment. Reduced set up and tear down times by 65 percent.
- Led the implementation of Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) program within 51-member cell. Championed ACE to peers and trained new personnel on 5S processes. Improved over-all appearance of cell and dropped number of inspection turn-backs by over 50 percent in three months.
- Hand-picked to participate in an improvement team to increase the production of amplifiers and reduce the number of over-all failures. Revamped process to stop improperly installed components. Increased monthly output and reduced operating costs by $30,000.
- Led a 5-member crew in the tear down, clean-up, and installation of new roofs. Reduced amount of time need to complete jobs from two days to one. 50% savings in overall costs generated performance-based bonuses for crew on a regular basis.
Supervisory
-As a Maintenance Supervisor, led 3-6 technicians in daily repair and upkeep of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, enabling Intel yield to meet projected daily goals.
- Coordinated the efforts of eight individuals while directing the modification of amplifiers for data collection during Alpha and Beta tests. Personally established the training, inventory, repair, and operations processes two months ahead of schedule.
- Coordinated interdepartmental efforts between two different plant sites to ensure early start of production of amplifiers.
- Established strategic plans and processes for organizational self-assessment to improve maintenance processes for a 22 member organization.
- Spearheaded tech room department to ensure better flow of units. Minimized impact of downtime and maintenance support and ensured completion of movement two months ahead of schedule.
- Re-engineered daily, weekly, and monthly meetings to oversee production and increase quality and quantity of work.
Training
- Trained 11 shift personnel over a 6-month period in the use and implementation of Intel computerized LEAN metric programs to accurately predict maintenance down time.
- Guided team of 18 technicians and operators while directing on-the-job training for department personnel, ensuring continuous support despite high personnel turnover.
- Reduced cycle time of repair to a 36 hr period while maintaining a repair quality higher than 97 percent.
- Trained new personnel in Safety Inspection walk-through’s of cell. Ensured 100 percent on-time inspection rate. Identified and corrected seven major safety and unsafe conditions - prevented zero recordable infractions in 18 months.
- Effectively supervised the cross-training of technicians from one technical cell to the next.
- As member of a technical team utilizing effective communication skills, including leadership role and interaction with higher-level leadership and customers, actively promoted team decision making.
