Ford Motor Company, Allen Park, Michigan.
Technical Laboratory Maintenance Coordinator, 1998 – 2007.
Effectively served as the Engineering Point Person in meetings regarding engineering maintenance on laboratory machinery and environmental systems. Coordinated and prioritized emergency maintenance activities with respect to laboratory test schedules, planned twice annual inspections of fire protection systems, and coordinated repairs and facility upgrades to comply with findings from fire system inspections. Assisted with insurance company inspections, coordinated repairs and modifications to facility as reported in inspection reports, led engineering involvement in planning laboratory preventative maintenance shutdown and advised management of laboratory impact.
• Wrote “Requests for Project” and “Appropriation Requests” for senior management approval for large capital expenditures involving costly maintenance and facility upgrades.
• Researched vendors and contractors to supply the most cost effective and highest quality material and labor as required to keep laboratory facilities running.
• Monitored contracted labor and costs to determine suitability for future job considerations.
• Provided facility familiarity, safety and security training to contractors and vendors.
• Led a team to resolve high maintenance issues with four 600hp chiller systems. The team concluded a multifaceted approach was necessary. The P.M. was modified, a greasing specialist was consulted, operational parameters were changed and higher quality heat exchangers were installed. This saved the company hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual repairs and lost productivity.
• Developed a training program for Ford millwrights to inspect and drop test overhead fire doors. Developed an annual fire door inspection and drop test procedure and log sheets for each of fifty doors to provide as proof to the facility insurance carrier. These procedures and forms were adopted by Ford as the standard practice for all facilities saving the company around $5000 per facility annually.
• Using financial data persuaded local and upper management, as well as, purchasing management that the approved contractor for fire protection system inspection and maintenance would cost the company more than $14,000 over another vendor who knew the systems better and provided higher quality service.

Equipment Designer, 1986 – 2007.
Designed instrumentation, ancillary equipment and fixtures unique to testing at the Ford Laboratory. Drew the mechanical, electrical and pneumatic plans and made all necessary documentation to guide personnel in the Ford Build Laboratory to fabricate the equipment. Researched and contracted machine shops and specialty contractors to fabricate pieces and assemblies beyond the capabilities of the Build Lab. Evaluated safety and system performance and upgrade issues, and designed modifications to make systems safer and to enhance performance or add new capabilities.
• Designed the first automated wet chemistry sample collection system for measuring exhaust constituents from alcohol-based fuels. The design reduced the labor head count from two engineers and one technician to just one technician. The labor savings were tremendous and grew every time one of these tests were performed. The design documentation was released to two companies who marketed and sold the systems globally.
• Took over the design of a precision tire inflator that was two years late in development, five years of total time investment and was holding up the signoff and start up of twenty new emissions test sites. Saved the company $246,000 in purchase costs by finding a new vendor and completed the project in five months saving the costs of further delays.
• Redesigned existing vehicle wheel chocks to allow adjustment and attachment with pneumatic tools, greatly reducing the amount of time to set up a vehicle for testing. Redesigned the wheel chock tire clamping mechanism to accommodate the narrower distance between tires and wheel wells on newer vehicles saving $600 in body repairs per vehicle of that type.
• Redesigned the wheel chock tie down studs to reduce breakage and allow the use of off the shelf stud instead of a specially machined stud. This resulted in an annual savings of $4500.
Prior To Being Promoted To Equipment Designer, Valuable Experience Was Gained Successfully Serving The Company As Engineering Technologist And Instrument Technician…
