Implemented Lean Manufacturing techniques such as 5S, Kaizen events, Kanban systems, in order to optimize production flow and improve overall efficiency.
Created KPIs on production lines/equipment to meet objectives.
Built a process and sourced new tooling on a Swiss style CNC machine to reduce setup time from eight hours to one and a half.
Developed a prototype delivery process that reduced CNC component lead time from eight to six days and grinding time from two to one day, enabling simultaneous departmental work through real time visual tracking of prototype status.
Created a one piece flow process in the deburring department to minimize past due and increase efficiency as well as executing a DOE on the thermal deburring equipment to improve quality.
Analyzed and collected time study data on CNC and grinding machines to reflect the actual cost per component on new cost centers.
Used ERP data to generate reports such as on time delivery, PPM, scrap costs, and past due.
Constructed BOMs, routings and production versions for all machining hydraulic components.
Trained team members on new equipment and process updates.
Performed root cause analysis on various production issues and developed corrective action plans.
Collaborated with cross-functional teams to solve engineering challenges.
