DMIR (Designated Manufacture Inspection Representative) certification for the FAA for FFS. Worked with customers and vendors to solve issues for production .

McDowell Research Corp. Waco, TX QA Manager Two years

Set up and maintained quality system for a military power supply manufacturer. Improved production line methods/procedures to comply with ISO guidelines, computerized and streamlined the flow of information throughout the company, reduced costs, and improved existing products. Set up new part numbering system that allowed MRC to utilize pc/MRP. Guided MRC through a process of correcting their drawings. Established a formal test procedure to log failure in Access. Formalized a sign-off and review process. Developed automated testing using Labview, which is more accurate and approximately 4 times faster than testing by hand.

Medical Plastic Laboratory, Inc. Gatesville, Texas Engineering Manager Eight years

Design engineer and Engineering Manager for company that produces medical training equipment/products. Improved production line methods/procedures to comply with quality control/ISO guidelines, computerized and streamlined the flow of information throughout the company and with customers, reduced costs/determined overhead rate, designed new products and improved existing ones. Increased profits by $90,000/year by bringing an electronic subassembly in-house, rather than utilizing an outside vendor. Streamlined a production area of 12 full-time workers producing about 20 manikins/month to only 2 full-time workers, plus 5 part-time workers on the day of production only, who produced 50 CPR manikins/month. This resulted in a savings of 1,560 man hours/month. Upgraded a frequently malfunctioning (due to age) plastics rotocast machine to an A&B controller, resulting in extending it’s production life and thus delaying the expense of purchasing new equipment for many years to come for a savings of approximately $450,000 for the purchase of new equipment. Designed the controlling method for a new CPR manikin that would allow airway adjuncts. Set up a quality manual, outlining all current production methods, which would prevent loss of vital information in case of employee turnover and would assist in establishing ISO certification for sales of products in Europe. Developed new electronic trainers to update and extend the product life of existing CPR manikin products. Researched and brought in a new company-wide computer system, linking the production dept. with the sales team. This also provided a BOM (bill of material), to allow more time and cost effective inventory control and material/parts purchasing. Upgraded the company-wide phone system.
