Objective: To be employed in a position to appropriately utilize my 30 years of master scheduling, planning management, scheduling, and supply chain experience.

Sales Order Scheduler Bray Controls Houston 2005-2009

Scheduled each line of all non-project sales orders, butterfly valves from 2” to 96” in diameter, by going through the MRP process manually, determining what was available to ship immediately from stock, what could be built from what we had in stock, applying the appropriate lead time to determine the ship date, and would need to be bought or wait for it to come in to be built, then applying the appropriate lead times for those actions to occur to determine the ship date. There was an inventory control system, and on order visibility for purchased and manufactured parts, but not a real MRP system per se. During the 4 years I performed this function, the on time delivery was improved from the mid 60% range to over 97%.

Planner/Buyer SPX Process Equipment Houston 2005-2005

Performed the planning and scheduling activities to build ball valves from 3” to 16” in diameter, as well as procured some of the components that were made by different divisions of the company.

Planning Specialist Suntron Sugar Land 2001-2004

For the first year and a half was responsible for planning and scheduling all the equipment in the sheet metal shop, which consisted of about 1/3 of the first floor of the facility. Then, the rest of the time while there was planner/scheduler for a significant portion of a robot that made semiconductor chips for AMD’s IC industry.

Material Planner CDI Corporation on 6 mo. contract with Siemens Orlando 1999-2001

This job primarily using SAP was focused on the direction of material to Charlotte, NC, from Germany, then to be machined in Winston Salem NC, after which it either was directed to Hamilton Ontario Canada for assembly in a power generator unit or to Orlando for warehousing until needed in Canada. There were many e-mails directing actions in each facility to make sure enough material was coming, being forged, and being machined in time for the final assemblies to happen at the right time in Canada.

Senior Planner Advanced R&D on 6 mo. contract with Intellitec Deland FL 1999

Originally, I was told the job would be to assist them to bring online an MRP system. As in turned out the money was not available, and or management was not willing to actually do all that needed to be done to make this happen, so my role became that of a planner/scheduler doing everything manually to manufacture an ICAM (Improved Chemical Agent Monitor).

Business Analyst/New Product Planner Compaq Computer Houston 1994-1999

The first few years were involved with “allocations”. This means that it was my job to determine for those components that our vendors could not make enough to satisfy ours needs, how many of what was available should go to each of the 9 manufacturing facilities around the world. Essentially, I was telling each of these facilities how many computers they would be able to make based on how many components they would be receiving. Then, I got involved with new product planning in the ECG (Enterprise Computing Group) making prototype and pre-production servers. This job was working very closely with engineering, engineering changes, and monitoring obsolescence. One day a peer asked me if I knew anything about what was happening with the power supplies in China. Please ask me about the story, it is too long for a resume’. Next I became the interface between the factory floor making consumer computers, and purchasing to relay unexpected shortages, or issues.

Plng. Supervisor/Mstr. Scheduler/Mfg. Eng. Western Atlas Intl. Houston 1994

The H.G.S. division of Halliburton was bought by Western Atlas, and my job was the same as with H.G.S.

Plng. Supervisor/Mstr. Scheduler/Mfg. Eng. Halliburton Geophysical Services H.G.S. Houston 1988-1994

Originally, as one of two manufacturing engineers in the division, my primary responsibility was to implement the engineering changes on the manufacturing bills of material, and part master data areas, making sure they were implemented in the most prudent way to minimize cost and maximize customer satisfaction. Then, I was relocated to the HWY 6 facility, where I was the only manufacturing engineer, planning manager, (supervise 2), and master scheduler. The cable design engineer as me to make a tool to cool just the front of the head of the cable extruder to make a textured surface for better grip in the field of our seismic cable. I designed a tool that satisfied the need is less than a week, using my won money for some of the parts. The engineer filed for and attained a patent for the cable texture. Then, I was asked to be a “super user” to assist in the conversion from the Unisys manufacturing system to APAMS. I was trained in Minneapolis and Los Angles for 2 weeks in each place by the people that wrote AMAPS, and then I wrote 2 books specifically to train our people how we were going to use the system, (over 200 pages each). Then, I spent 4 hours a day 3 days a week actually doing the hands-on training, so that when we came up on the new system it would be a smooth transition. It was. About 4 months later, we were sold to Western Atlas.

Plng. Supervisor/Mstr. Scheduler/Mfg. Eng. Texas Instruments Houston 1980-1988

To begin with I supervised one manufacturing engineering assistants, and after 2-3 years that number was up to 6 direct reports. Beginning in just a planning role to learn the processes, procedures, people, and tools it took about a year before I was master scheduling the TIMAP and FTII products which processed, analyzed, and eventually plotted the appearance of the different layers of different materials beneath the surface of the ground or of the sea floor. After 4-5 years, I was forecasting, buy month out a quarter, and by quarter looking out a full year all 7 product lines’ anticipated material, labor, and overhead levels for the Geophysical System’s Division of the company. Finally, as a manufacturing engineer, I initiated, gained approval of, and installed, or implemented, at least 19 Method Improvement Reports as part of the Process Improvement Program, with cost savings easily in excess of over $100,000 per year.
