Description
SUMMARY Strategic Leader with expertise in creating high performing teams in Engineering, Maintenance, Reliability, Operations, and Facilities. Proven successes in knowledge transfer, process mapping, configuration management and improving quality in fast-paced environments. Technically driven with engineering background and strong track record in setting and meeting metrics and accountability in the avionics, cryogenics, DoD, medical device, pharmaceutical, metal smelting industries. Process Improvement Process Mapping Metrics Development/Tracking Maintenance & Reliability Leadership Technical Data Management Lean/Six Sigma Customer & User Interface/Support Configuration Management Reliability Centered Maintenance Organizational Management Quality Systems Strong Safety Culture * Managed various departments by identifying basic process flows, critical outputs, defining metrics and goals, and holding leaders under my direction accountable. * Independently led large and complex technical projects for U.S. and foreign customers - responsible for design, planning, scheduling, budgeting, risk mitigation, and team direction. * Managed cross-functional teams responsible for full life-cycle support including requirements definition, cost estimating, technical troubleshooting, qualification, verification, purchasing, prototyping and production, end-user training and support. * Successfully redesigned many systems, sub-assemblies, and components to enhance performance, reliability, and accuracy while reducing cost and lead-times and increasing yields. * Successfully marketed company's capabilities to U.S. and foreign customers. * Provided technical leadership and mentoring. ACCOMPLISHMENTS * Developed plan to reduce variability of feed material to decrease smelting and refining cycle times by 5%. * Restructured Purchasing department to improve PO cycle times by 25%, reduce expenses and put metrics in place. * Restructured 3 different Maintenance organizations based on customer needs, skills inventory analysis of maintenance personnel. Developed and executed technical training program for line mechanics. Reduced maintenance backlog by 50%, and improved uptime of process 5-10%. * Streamlined several local business processes (spare parts storage, procurement, CMMS/EAM data, etc.) to increase capacity of Maintenance organization. Decreased repair time by 10% and improved uptime of process 5-10%. * Led team of 5 engineers on a $6.5 million project to redesign, upgrade, manufacture, and install cryogenic systems (high-pressure, high-purity air and nitrogen) around the US and internationally. Delivered on-time within budget. * Led team of designers to redesign the mechanical drive system (including injection molded parts) of an optically based medical meter resulting in a per-unit material cost reduction of 20%. * Introduced predictive technologies to reduce losses of compressed air system. Increased average header pressure by 10% and decreased electrical usage on air compressors by 20% * Developed an Engineering Data Integrity Project (retroactive commissioning: Fielded equipment matches drawings and CMMS data) for a major pharmaceutical manufacturing site and led a team of designers and engineers to execute the project. Areas were brought back into FDA compliance. * Led plant efforts for ISO-50001 certification for Energy Management. Certification obtained on first audit in 2015. * Developed knowledge transfer materials for air and water environmental control systems. Reduced new employee training time by 3 months. * Shared successes in forums with ISPE (International Society for Pharma Engineers) and SMRP (Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals). * Recognized by the Naval Air Systems Command (PMA-260) for outstanding technical support. * Recognized by the Kuwait Air Force for outstanding acquisition support. 317-900-3231 * Production Engineer * Mechanical Design Engineer
