Successfully led cross functional teams including marketing, regulatory, quality development, manufacturing and clinical and provided direction through scoping, evaluation and development of catheters used for lead implants.
Provided technical, analytical, and consultative guidance to project teams.
Scoped projects by identifying appropriate resources, assembling cross functional teams, assigning responsibilities and managing time, scope, schedule, budget and resources.
Coordinated preparation of project related documentation to meet design control requirements that includes; charters, contracts, project plans, schedules, product specifications, regulatory submissions and other internally and externally required applications.
Communicated strategy, direction and status of program scope, schedules and budget to both core team members and executive stakeholders.
Participated in the delivery catheter evaluation with physicians, marketing and clinical engineers to assess development products through implants and bench testing.
Created and communicated the project report through monthly presentation to program executive stakeholders.
Provided leadership to engineering and supply chain staff, facilitating strategic efforts to scope, schedule, and budget thus, prioritizing projects by necessity with a focus on improving quality, compliance and product cost.
Implemented lean initiatives to improve efficiency, increase productivity and eliminate waste.leading to cost savings of more than $1.0M.
Lead efforts to establish product qualification and process validation - to ensure reliability and repeatability of processes.
Supervised and facilitated design transfer of products from development to manufacturing.
Created , established goals and monitored operations and quality metrics which included purchase price variance PPV), absorption, inventory, Non-Conforming Material Report (NCMR) and yields.
Coach,ed mentored and assisted technical staff providing feedback on performance and development needs in alignment with department and business goals.
Created and managed Financial Annual Operating Plan (AOP) for production.
Boeing - Senior Manufacturing Engineer Miramar, CA, 01/2007 - 09/2009
Worked with diverse teams as a project leader to complete projects on time leading to project cost savings of $115K.
Coordinated efforts to develop and qualify universal packaging trays and labels to improve quality, reduce inventory and cost.
Developed and executed protocols for equipment and tooling Installation Qualification (IQ), Operations Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) for tooling and equipment.
Led a cross functional core-team that investigated and identified root causes and initiated corrective action for scrap on CPS Luminary product.
The Project led to an increase in yields from 62% to over 92%, which exceeded the stretch goal for a Project cost savings were $87K Optimized efficiencies for all product families by creating new production area layout to create smooth flow of products which reduced manufacturing cycle times and improved quality.
Determined root causes and closed several Non Conforming Material report (NCMR) and Corrective action Preventative Action (CAPA) identified and generated Evaluated and determined root cause of product failures in the field overseeing returns and completed field evaluation reports for compliance purposes.
Established systems and controls and worked with supply chain team to ensure no material shortages or back orders.
Led a Kaizen initiative and developed an enhanced painting method through administering experiments.
Developed a process to paint enclosures with two powder colors to eliminate the liquid paint system.
The process will save the company $600,000 per year, create space for expansion and eliminate the amount of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emitted to the environment when implemented.
Led an overtime reduction Kaizen.
The process increased productivity and reduced overtime by 47% in one month which was a $32,000 cost saving per year.
Set up, performed and analyzed multiple Design of Experiment to determined optimum process settings which improved quality and increased machine efficiency.
Led a hinge curling machine Lean six sigma project to identify the causes of defective parts from the machine, which triggered the redesign of the machine that resulted in increased productivity.
The campaign was able to raise a record high of $69,000 pounds of food for the company.
