Red X Lead for Defects on 5 Cylinder Block in Lost Foam Process

Project Manager for 13 Million Dollar on Cargo Dutch Door –Astro Van, responsible for Design Reviews and installation.

Lost Foam Facility – Maintenance Manager responsible for supply chain, spare parts, preventative maintenance implementation, start up and lesson learned web site. Utilized Toyota Principles to implement Khan Bon two tote systems integrated with Maximo Touch point of Auto Cad Designs for ease of locating spare parts and increase response times on fixing and addressing downtime issues. One of the projects I implemented was to network 36 robots. I had a problem with all three shifts changing programs in which led to a change in quality and uptime. I networked the robots and wrote a batch file that would run from the human interfaces the GE Nematron computers and would load the base program at the end of each shift. This allowed engineering to make changes on their shift because temperature with time of day can change foam and some changes are required, but at the end of the shift the base program that was proven and which quality checks were taken was loaded back in so we did not lose quality in tolerances.

Machine Shop Manager responsible for design review, and cost estimation on machining labor/material cost. Instituted a tracking system for design errors and lead a process for Design changes at floor level to increase change over times and corrections for future projects.
