FLEX Invention Lab SF November 2015- May 2018

Project Manager

As Project Manager I defined scope, schedule and budget as well as manage all aspects of the customer relationship within our SF site, including quote support, project scope review (design development schedule, Compliance, Service Agreement, CMF, and Reliability test plan), PRD finalization, budget management, scheduling, planning, production, yield, quality, process improvement and finally deliverables. I was the face of Flex to my customers at this site. All customer concerns went through me. Proficient in MS Office suite (Excel, Word, Project, Powerpoint).

I channeled issues/concerns/questions past any bottlenecks to the appropriate internal work cells and stakeholders; possible solutions were collaboratively conceived; I then relayed experience to drive customer communications and help lead my accounts to predictable and reliable project outcomes. Note: Since we were a small design office I performed the function of Doc Control, Buyer, Planner, PM, and help to facilitate production and shipping, finally commencing in project/product closeout, complete with postmortem and AR follow up. Our site was constantly focused on learning from each project to add to our knowledge base. We established a PM library on Confluence to compile and document past lessons learned.

At Flex SF, we were an Invention Lab, we served to help our customers realize a fully mature product ready for mass production. The roll of Flex SF was to hand off a realized production ready product to high volume or low-cost sites for mass production.

Key Accomplishments:

Successfully graduated 10 accounts through the R&D, EVT, DVT and PVT design/production process, and on to mass production facilities within the last 2.5 years.

Worked on exciting powered skateboard project, of which I designed and implemented Skate Racks to help with production floor logistics.

A proven problem solver; I evaluate issues and thoughtfully look at all available alternatives. Relying upon experience and ingenuity, I utilize existing or readily available resources, or design custom solutions, whichever is needed to address the most efficient solution.
