I have a passion for lean, automated machinery and design. I have spent five years of my career taking care of maintenance issues and designing fixes for automated machinery and stationary equipment. I successfully implemented repairs that completely solved issues with existing equipment and through lean practices introduced new equipment and process that saved a company about $4,000 a month and was done $75,000 under the initial requested budget. While I was working as a Lean Team Specialist we performed at least two Kaizen events a month to increase production, improve safety and help influence the operators to take charge of their areas. During each Kaizen event we would use many tools such as poka yoke, root cause, six sigma methods, production mapping and making 5S boards. I developed and designed safe tools for operators to use in a wide range of aspects from simple one handed tasks to lifting devices capable of holding 25,000 lbs. I have an aptitude and passion for learning new process quickly and discovering how equipment functions. I also go the extra mile to solve problems and gain a deep understanding of what the true issues are and resolving them. If hired I will do my best to make your company more efficient and innovative through improved tool designs, process improvements and lean practices. I am very interested in changing my career path in regards to the industry I work for, while most of my career has been in mining, I am eager to learn the methods and practices used in other industries especially in production. Most of my time spent with Rio Tinto has been in an automated production environment with the production of copper cathodes.
