Manages and controls all process and control documentation: e.g. PFMEAs, Control Plans, Check Sheets, and Process Flow Charts. Cross-departmental teamwork and rapid response to Quality Deficiency Reports from internal and external customers to ensure the proper containment, root cause analysis, and corrective actions. Develops and implements improvements to target areas that negatively influence plant KPIs. Controls and maintains all drawings and files associated with the processes. Uses 2D and 3D modeling software to create or modify drawings as needed for process improvement. Monitors production performance using data analysis to isolate areas of reduced performance. Works to increase production output by providing line associates with the needed resources and skills required for their job: e.g. critical alignments, adjustments, and machine setup that could directly impact quality. Implements cost savings through continued improvement of the lines as well as working with local vendors to reduce costs and lead times on everyday components.

Controlled and handled the budget for expenditures on all production lines within my responsibility. Planned and managed capital projects, including calculating risk and ROI for all projects connected to the production lines. Developed and managed working procedures for operators and technicians to ensure part quality and process integrity. Encouraged cross-departmental communication to guarantee that plant goals were being met.

Process improvement on automated/semi-automated equipment. Cycle time reduction projects to meet increases in customer demands. Provided training/support to Production and Maintenance personnel on skilled tasks such as robotics, PLCs, vision systems, and laser markers. Document control: Equipment PMs, Check Sheets, and PFMEAs. Project development and management from proposal to execution. Integration of new equipment into existing machinery. Developed and implemented corrective actions to address quality alerts and customer complaints. Performed 6S tasks to maintain an organized working environment. Focused improvements and projects to meet plant KPIs. Setup vendors and contractors to schedule improvements. Worked with them to negotiate costs to meet budget demands and timelines.

Process Improvement: Implemented cost savings project to reduce raw material usage by 20%. Project Management: Worked with outside contractors to make repairs to existing machinery to allow more flexibility for lines to run different product types. Supervised team leaders and managed department in absence of plant manager.
