July 2000 –July 2006 Ryken Tube Manufacturing, Division of SPX Walled Lake, MI
Production Process & Quality Engineer, Manufacturing Operations:
Redesigned process flow of tube assemblies to reduce overall scrap rate and increase throughput by 40% adding cost reduced improved profit margins. Redesigned process flow of welded assemblies by updating old robot technology to adapt to current capacity strained manual operations thereby increasing total throughput. Launched over 100 PPAP’s per year for service production build of exhaust systems. Eliminated stocking levels of many sub assemblies with the utilization of phantom parts flow eliminating redundant material handling of high velocity assemblies. Designed new fixturing tooling to allow for more exact process flow control and consistency and poke-yoke process controls. Led many 8d process redesigns to enhance total quality commitment to customers. Assisted in capital budget commitments and feasibility reviews. Designed and coordinated GD&T checking fixtures and gages. Enhanced barcode technology loading for shipping and delivery of materials automating to EDI downloads. Coordinated all packaging design and implementation of shipments for customer verification and transport. Engaged in selection, implementation of a CMM coordinate measuring machine for bender applications. Trained and assisted in PPAP verifications, CMM and manual layouts of parts for dimensional results. Added specialized equipment for process of new and current designed products under new product launches. Successfully launched various chrome tips for automotive production and service shipments. Proficient in Inventor cad software and Haas programming for 3d modeling for use in new product designs implemented in manufacturing.
