PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

DRS Technologies, Cincinnati Ohio 07/2008-12/2008

MANUFACTURING ENGINEER

· Obtained competitive bids and generated AR for $500,000 building expansion.

· Advised Operations and Quality to complete both $1,000,000 After Action Review Systems for the U.S. Army European Command.

· Improved flow layout on production line for Predator Ground Control Station at plant.

· Implemented new tool tracking system at facility, which previously had no system.

· Co-Led a cross functional, multi-site team to isolate the source of a customer complaint focused on paint chipping on the Global Hawk command shelter; FMEA isolated the problem, new process generated and implemented and the problem was eliminated.

· Key player in the ISO Implementation Process at the facility, consisting of: updating all documents on floor, removing all outdated documents from the floor, and generating new documentation for new processes at DRS.

SUMCO, Maineville Ohio 04/2007-04/2008

PROCESS ENGINEER

· Improved yield in the Slicing area from 94.3% to 96.5% by process improvements to the slurry, operator training and Production guidelines.

· Increased efficiency by 33.5% due to modifications to the tool path of the grind head on Flatting tool in the Slicing area, which resulted in the ability to reduce staffing by one person per shift and an estimated cost savings of $96,000.

· Improved wire efficiency on one saw for a monthly savings of 10 spools/wire/month or $86,000 per year.

· Served as technical expert on Slicing for the production department; advised the Engineering and Production manager on optimal strategic actions related to Slicing issues.

· Generated and audited documentation for the Slicing operation ensuring the continued control of the process inputs and minimizing scrap.

· Participated as a green belt project team member on the Crack, Chip and Break scrap reduction project. Conducted analysis to determine location of cracks, chips and breaks in the Slicing area.

NORTH AMERICAN STAINLESS, Ghent, KY 10/2005-04/2007

MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE ENGINEER

· Exceeded production output by improving, sparing, and repairing the equipment used in the Annealing and Pickling Process of thin gage coiled stainless steel along with the maintenance and improvements of the boilers and compressors.

· Organized and implemented the maintenance and improvement on the Annealing/Pickling Line (AP3), Boiler Room and Compressor Room along with serving on the installation and commissioning project group of AP4.

· Scheduled all of the maintenance and improvement work completed during a production outage on AP3 usually involving several hundred man-hours.

· Completed analysis on the most critical spare parts for the AP3 line and obtained competitive quotes and stocked them accordingly. With an overall cost of $108,000.00 per hour of line down time, there was a significant increase in uptime and efficiency by increasing our supply of critical spare parts.

· Provided technical direction for technicians.

· Implemented necessary modifications to the new boiler installation to allow greater flexibility in the boiler room by adding piping, valves and regulators.

· Implemented a plant air monitoring system to prevent loss and improve efficiency, allowing for the ability to identify if the plant air losses were a result of the air compressors or a leak in the pipes.

· Responsible for the functionality of the mechanical portion of the new Hot Annealing and Pickling line (AP4) for the plant.

3M PRECISION OPTICS, Cincinnati, OH 06/2000-10/2005

PROCESS ENGINEER

· Served as technical expert on molding for Production, process and quality improvements and supervised the activities of the tool room associates PM (preventative maintenance) activities for injection molds.

· Acted as technical expert on injection molding for the production department; advising the Production Manager on optimal strategic actions related to molding issues.

· Provided technical and quality direction to injection molding technicians.

· Generated and monitored injection mold PM schedule, ensuring adherence to the schedule, which was critical to maintaining equipment reliability.

· Created processes and modified nine injection molds according to production department specifications, enabling the manufacture of several million optically acceptable parts.

· Generated and audited documentation for the molding operation ensuring the continued control of the process inputs and minimizing scrap.

· Led several Kaizen events, applying Lean Manufacturing methodology:

· Saved $70,000 in a reduced production environment by adding two conveyor systems and reconfiguring workstations to allow for one press operator instead of two.

· Reduced the amount of paperwork needed in the molding process by 25%.

· Mapped mold PM process and 5-S’d the tool room, which allowed for a more accurate time frame for mold pm scheduling.

· Mapped and improved the part flow for an entire production department, and eliminated the massive Work In Progress (WIP) room where over 10,000 parts were stored, estimated cost of $20 per lens equals over $200,000.

· Certified Six Sigma Green Belt:

· Participated in initial black belt project for the company, affecting $700K in material savings by changing method of tracking incoming and outgoing material and testing procedures, implemented training programs for quality technicians and inspectors, and implemented several audits.

· Led a Green Belt scrap reduction project in the pressroom that saved $11K in three months in a declining business market.

· Participated as a scrap reduction green belt project team member. Conducted analysis to determine if the start up stabilization time could be reduced in order to reduce scrap. The analysis indicated only 5 shots were needed instead of 20, leading to a yearly savings of 82,000 lenses.

GREEN TOKAI CORPORATION, Maysville, KY 02/1999-06/2000

PROCESS ENGINEER

· Led and implemented process improvement initiatives and troubleshot mechanical and quality issues on several metal stamping finishing lines and an injection molding production line.

· Adjusted workstation layout to improve part flow and moved secondary operation stations closer to the operator.

· Implemented measures, which improved functionality and quality of 2 injection presses, 4 stamping presses, and a feeder bowl/clip system.

· Teamed with outside companies to repair continually flashing mold cleaning, repairing the mold, and to repair the feeder bowl by having the company recalibrate the feeder bowl.

· Partnered with Japanese engineer overseeing the installation of additional clip machine, which expanded production by 50%.
