SUMMARY

Forty years diversify manufacturing experience (Quality, Reliability and Manufacturing Process Engineer) including Lean Six Sigma Manufacturing background. Manufacturing experience in the following industries: Aerospace, Medical, Computer, Oil/Gas machine shop and others. Certifications Green Belt and Lean Practitioner. Experience in implementation and the continuous development of a Lean Culture for continuous improvement in manufacturing processes. Major strengths are the ability to work with cross functional groups to improve Processes, Quality, On Time Delivery and Scrap Reduction to optimize productivity and minimize down time by using Lean tools and DMAC tools. Worked with cross functional groups for Process Mapping (SIPOC). Also, part of the team for FMEA (DFMEA and PFMEA) in resolving root cause analysis and mitigation by functional redundancy (or some other design consideration) to prevent it from acting as a single point of failure. Experience in performing validation engineer; evaluate systems and processes used to build products. Calibrating and repairing systems, designing testing protocols and purchasing and maintaining equipment. Ensure compliance with safety and quality standards that meet and exceed clients specifications. My objectives are to identify, eliminate waste (time and motion), and reduce variation. Collaborating with cross functional team members to identify and improvement, and aid in development of the work force to improve the manufacturing process.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Greene Tweed Houston, Texas four-month contract 8/2022 to 11/2022

Sr. Manufacture Engineer

In a machine shop environment, I have utilized my expertise to successfully build automated test equipment for Greene Tweed's Taiwan operations. Leveraging my previous experience in building a similar system for Green Tweed's Houston facility, I executed the project with precision and attention to detail.

Working in close collaboration with the Taiwan staff, I provided extensive support in preparing for the installation of the test equipment. This involved understanding their specific requirements, coordinating logistics, and ensuring a seamless integration into their manufacturing operations.

To facilitate knowledge transfer and ensure a smooth transition, I conducted comprehensive training sessions and engaged in question-and-answer sessions with the Taiwanese engineers who visited our Houston facility. By sharing my insights and expertise, I enabled them to confidently operate and maintain the test equipment as an integral part of their manufacturing processes.

Additionally, I provided detailed work instructions for conducting testing of Green Tweed's product line. These instructions outlined the necessary procedures, parameters, and protocols required to perform accurate and efficient testing of the various part numbers.

Moreover, recognizing the importance of documentation and knowledge preservation, I meticulously documented the process and specifications for building the automated test equipment. This comprehensive documentation serves as a valuable resource in the event of future needs, such as building additional units or conducting repairs.

Throughout this project, my experience in the machine shop environment enabled me to effectively manage the intricacies of assembling and configuring the test equipment, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and delivering high-quality solutions tailored to Greene Tweed's specific requirements.
