Solid Model Layouts

Contributed to an estimated 50,000+ solid model layouts and drawings primarily using CREO Parametric

Product Development

Participated in the development of a new Orion surface conditioning tool. Added features to the modules including mechanical and chemical enclosures as well as pneumatic head cases, electrical I/O boxes, and head spaces

This product was very successful and generated material revenue over the last seven years

Integration

Part of the team that transferred their Immersion Equipment product and technology to our Minnesota headquarters and integrated it into a new product after the company acquired a California firm in 1999

The result was a broader product line offering to the market

JIT Work

Client Satisfaction

Addressed custom client requests over multiple product lines to ensure highly satisfied customers

On more than 25 occasions customers requested and I provided tool layout drawings to assist them in planning their facility floor layouts resulting in smoother tool installation and delivery and increased safety

On certain key projects, my team would meet customer in-person to confirm their tool requirements. Employed careful listening to enhance productivity and provide better insight and outcomes

Cost & Inventory Control

Worked diligently to reduce the duplicate part numbers in models to one uniform part

TEL FSI, INC. Continued…

Interacted with parts suppliers, analyzed their advice, and incorporated it into fabricated parts when it made sense. - Utilized SAP software for inventory tracking and parts purchasing

Problem Solving and Teamwork

Interacted with the machine shop and production floor daily to solve problems and get prototypes and with parts suppliers as needed

Worked with occasional third-party contractors to familiarize them with the company approach, preferences, and procedures

Participated as a member of the department’s Steering Committee to promote consistent and high-quality output. The committee’s work included:

-Developing and maintaining two key documents. Employee Work Topics, which included detail on FSI’s Standard Operating Practices for modeling and TEL FSI’s General Operating Procedures for other items, and General Notes in Txt Files, a series of approximately 500 standardized notes for use in model development

-Reviewing new revisions of modeling software for applicability and impact prior to releasing them into the production environment

-Working to resolve component failures in models

Quality

Collaborated with Purchasing and suppliers to meet and maintain ISO 9000 standards

Updated practices, models, and documentation

Identified and replaced obsolete parts with new parts in models or on tools on a quarterly basis

Recognition

Received Corporation Service Award
