Metal Dynamics Corporation (MDC), Tulsa, OK Manager Quality Assurance and HSE 1/2018-6/2021

● I ensured that MDC implemented and maintained ISO 9001:2015 requirements. This included maintaining a document control system (including quality records) per ISO 9001:2015. MDC passed ISO 9001:2015 annual audits for 4 years (1 recertification audit and 3 surveillance audits) with no major findings, few (if any) minor findings, and few observations.

● I planned and completed several internal quality audits.

● I assessed suppliers by sending them a quality survey to complete and return, and by continually monitoring supplier performance.

● I reviewed all Purchase Orders to ensure all customer requirements were within the scope of MDC services and ensured all requirements were known and appropriately documented in the MDC computer system.

● I regularly created Purchase Orders to several suppliers so that these suppliers would perform mechanical & metallurgical testing of test bars that had the same composition as the castings that were sold to customers. These suppliers then sent test reports that included the results of the testing (tensile strength, yield point, % elongation, % reduction of area, etc.)

● I worked with the MDC Production & Sales Manager to organize this mechanical & metallurgical data (and also the metals chemistry data generated in-house) to determine the optimal metals chemistry for several alloys that provided the highest probability that the mechanical & metallurgical data met or exceeded regulatory and customer requirements.

● I regularly created Purchase Orders to a local supplier so that this supplier would perform heat treatment of castings made from a variety of different alloys.

● I served the sand casting department by calculating the amount of additives needed for several alloys. I also used the spectrograph to measure and record the metals chemistry for customers that needed this information.

● I took initiative to help reorganize the inventory of castings manufactured for various customers which allowed MDC to ship castings from inventory to a major customer. This saved MDC the expense of manufacturing new castings that were already in inventory.

● I took initiative to organize the weld rods in the weld booth. The weld booth had over 30 different types of weld rod for 35 different alloys of aluminum, copper, steel, and nickel based castings. This saved the welder time since he could now immediately locate the correct weld rods. MDC also eliminated the expense of purchasing weld rod that was already available in the weld booth.

● I took initiative to organize and document by alloy several containers of metal that could not be used for castings. I helped locate a metal supplier that would pay MDC a higher price for the metal compared to the price a scrap metal dealer would pay.

● I took initiative to reorganize the process to create the metals chemistry certification documents that I sent to customers. This saved me significant time when I created 1 of these documents. This also eliminated the possibility of keystroke mistakes from typing data on these documents that already existed on another document.

● On a weekly basis, I took initiative to bring to MDC used shipping boxes of all shapes & sizes and in excellent condition. MDC was able to save hundreds of dollars by eliminating the purchase of shipping boxes.

● I took initiative to translate and distribute all appropriate MDC procedures into Spanish, which allowed Spanish-speaking employees to read, understand, and comply with MDC procedures in their native language. This reduced the possibility that they might misunderstand procedures and/or make mistakes.

● I took initiative to locate and eliminate thousands of duplicate electronic documents on the main computer drive used by all office employees and a shop supervisor. This saved computer space and employees’ time. Limco Airepair, Inc. (LAI), Tulsa, OK Quality Engineer 8/2015-1/2017
