Accomplishments:

Leadership:

Built a global Operator Effectiveness business in Honeywell from ASM Consortium research. Grew annual sales from $800,000 in 2008 to over $18Million in first half of 2018.

Started a Process Control Center of Excellence in Honeywell, hired a Director, and built a global team of knowledgeable consultants.

Promoted several new consulting offerings, Operator Role Complexity Analysis, Interaction Requirements Analysis, Overall Process Effectiveness, to add to Honeywell Process Solutions capabilities as a trusted advisor.

Built a team of 28 people to provide complete servicing of Operator Effectiveness projects including Sales Workshops, Estimating, Hardware Architecture, Software and Licensing, Project Execution, Procurement, Detailed Design, Installation, and Service Planning.

Led development and approval of a Showcase Proposal to demonstrate “Factory of the Future” using full suite of Automation tools from Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions. Selected as leader by Honeywell COO and CEO.

Led adoption of engineering tools throughout Specialty Materials (for example Honeywell UniSim and Aspen Engineering Suite).

Trained engineering department (54 people) in Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).

Led successful effort to improve the suspension polymerization of polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE). Demonstrated 20% increased production, worth $5.8MM/year in a process in which changes are limited by requirements of the Drug Master File (DMF) and cGMP requirements. Changes also enabled increased sales in world-wide markets.

Led teams of Honeywell and University resources to model Honeywell’s Nylon polymer trains and PCTFE polymer production.

Demonstrated a process to devolatilize Nylon-6 polymers and led teams that reduced extractables in Nylon fiber.

Developed and commercialized a process to recycle solvents used in Spectra manufacturing process. (Pretax savings: $3MM annually).

Led teams that increased nylon production with minimal capital: (1) 6MM ppy in Filament Carpet Fiber, (2) 6MM ppy in Staple Carpet Fiber, (3) 10MM ppy in Engineering Plastics resins. (Pretax profit $8.7MM/year).

Developed and commercialized routes to produce Tackle Herbicide (2-Nitro-5-(2’-chloro-4’trifluoromethylphenoxy) benzoic acid, sodium salt), and an uranium extractant, Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (trade name DEHPA).

Coordinated successful plant trials of three new LDPE products, commercialized in 1982-1983.
