To whom it may concern;
The enclosed record of my work history may be of interest to your company.
My work experience has been unique in many areas. I am a Certified Manufacturing Engineer with multiple program management skills. I am proficient with developing processes and manufacturing procedures for fabricating detailed parts and assemblies. I have a strong mechanical background in design and fabrication of special machines/automation equipment, assembly lines, tooling, dies, gages and fixtures. Volume driven, my designs become special mechanisms that create repeatability and increase operator throughput. I work well with product engineers in assisting them in designing products for manufacturability. I am well versed at cost analysis, estimating, product development, training, supervision, capital equipment procurement, plant layout, lean implementation and sales.
I have performed supplier surveillance and trouble shooting supplier problems and shortfalls helping suppliers create process improvements, repeatability and on time deliveries.
I have a unique ability in addressing problems and solving them in the most economical fashion. By using a participative management style, shop floor personnel and others show increased gains in employee attitude and output.
I truly appreciate you taking a moment to review my credentials. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Carey R. Smith
