Work History

Lean Engineer

Vesuvius USA
08.2021 - Current
  • Developed streamlined manufacturing processes in our forming areas (6), which boosted productivity and saved $200K annually.
  • Developed and supported our real-time production monitoring system, tracking production, downtime, and OEE to determine bottlenecks and reduce overall downtime.
  • Implemented and trained others on Lean tools throughout the plant, including Tiered meetings, KPI's, Standardized Work, Data visualization, Value Stream Mapping, OEE, Practical Problem Solving, PDCA/DMAIC, Cycle Time Analysis, 7 Wastes Reduction.
  • Assisted in global projects across multiple plant sites.
  • Applied best practices from other plants and engaged in best practice sharing from our site.
  • Resolved technical and quality issues by collaborating with customer, manufacturing, quality assurance, customer service and supplier personnel.
  • Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
  • Worked well in a team setting, providing support and guidance through multiple departments.
  • Managed time efficiently in order to complete all tasks within deadlines.
  • Presented findings to local and corporate management groups.
  • Lead in Strategic Planning events, Kaizen Events, Production Trials, and project status meetings.

Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Marlin Manufacturing Corporation
01.2019 - 08.2021
  • Support thermocouple production operations, identify potential improvement areas, define project scopes, lead cross-functional teams, and assess financial/time-savings gains of capital
  • Increased production velocity 15% by improving material procurement and staging processes of wire and cable processes
  • Assist in technical support and engagement for roughly 700 customers, for industrial and specialized temperature measurement solutions
  • Improved 35 existing product lines, optimizing build time, accuracy, and precision
  • Mitigated customer complaints, increased ease of assembly, reduced flashing, and ensured smooth-textured, well-molded parts by improving production design of connector product line
  • Adjust Bill of Materials (BOMs) to reflect new parts; track assembly/packaging times using industrial time studies which increased time related cost accuracy of these processes
  • Manage cross-functional team of 12 with molding, production, and sales departments
  • Direct three management teams in rolling out products and forecasted annual/expected growth usages (3.5%) to plan raw material acquisitions and production schedules
  • Decreased processing times using custom or simple fixturing for optimal working ability
  • Reduced tooling changeover times 10% by assessing Process Failure Mode Effects Analyses (PFMEAs) on existing and new processes and identifying preventative maintenance items
  • Established training procedures; trained 10 operators and two supervisors on updated work cells.
  • Developed solutions with challenging EMI, environmental, packaging and vibration requirements.

Process Engineer

Domtar
06.2016 - 01.2019
  • Focused heavily on continuous improvement efforts through six sigma methodology, process control, trial organization, and troubleshooting across a variety of plant operations
  • Evaluated and assessed control and specification limits for Key Process Variables; managed trials, including evaluating bleaching chemical consumption volume and rates upstream and downstream
  • Reduced injuries by writing industrial safety practices (Material Safety Data Sheet [MSDS] knowledge)
  • Communicated across four departments and two other operating plants via cross-functional teams
  • Engaged in high-speed nonwoven processing, control interfaces, various absorbency materials, process enhancements, and qualification of new equipment
  • Realized $250K+ in revenue after return on investment (ROI) analysis (chemical cost savings through expected annual through-put if chemical enzyme was effective in reducing bleaching chemicals)
  • Projected cost savings by producing trials projected at improving processes and/or quality of products for two large-scale manufacturing facilities.
