To whom it may concern;
I am currently the Maintenance Manager for an automotive supplier. My duties also include doing all the PLC programming (Allen Bradley RsLogix 500 and 5000), HMI programming (Allen Bradley), and Fanuc robot programming/troubleshooting as well as electrical upgrades/installation and troubleshooting.
During my career I have implemented ideas to improve machine uptime as well as have worked with vendors to reduce cost. I have made items common between all our machines to reduce the amount of inventory needed in our crib therefore reducing out overhead costs.
I have traveled to some of other facilities to assist them with issues that they have been having using some of our improvements and lessons learned.
Have worked hand in hand with MIOSHA on our lockout tagout procedure and among other safety improvements in our plant. We have gone from having numerous findings to them wanting to issue us an award for our safety.
I have been in charge of numerous equipment and line installs. I take pride in the fact that we can do most in house without hiring outside contractors. From the machine setup to the utilities installation to the work flow and tuning in parts for cmm layout.
I got my start in this industry about 30 years ago. I started out as a machinist and moved to programming CNC mills and lathes. I then moved on to machine tool building and electrical work. I am strongly motivated and am hungry to learn new things.
Thank you for your time
