expert in work standards development, plant layout, and workplace organization. He
is very knowledgeable in sheet metal fabrication and welding assembly processes.
Representative Experience
Chrysler 845RE Transmission Program | Kokomo, Indiana
Lead Industrial Engineer responsible for approximately eight months of on-
site coordination of the delivery, installation, start-up and debug of line display
equipment in support of Chrysler’s World Class Manufacturing initiatives. Line
display equipment scope involved modifications to existing and development of
new equipment, including the development of new automated shuttle racks.
Chrysler Sterling Stamping Plant | Sterling Heights, Michigan
Industrial Engineer responsible for developing a storage analysis and storage
layouts for press parts and assemblies, as well as empty containers. Scope of
work also included the development of a material flow model using FactoryFlow to
optimize the material flow plan for future model programs, and a dock utilization/
capacity analysis.
General Motors Corporation | Various Locations
▪ Played a key role in implementing Continuous and Throughput Improvement
Process workshops in eight metal fabrication plants. Supported efforts to engage
team members, leaders and supervisors in implementation of waste reduction
proposals that were generated as a result of the workshops. Improvements
resulted in a 20 percent reduction of non-value-added work that was associated
with stamping, weld assembly and material handling processes.
▪ Teamed with hourly employees to implement 5S process in a tool and die
construction shop resulting in $122,000 in asset recovery and the identification of
25,000 square feet of floor space for new die storage and machining work cells.
▪ Conducted equipment verification studies and modernized outdated plant layouts
for nine metal fabricating manufacturing plants, resulting in approximately 220,000
square feet of increased floor space capacity and $3.5M in asset recovery.
▪ Established work methods and standards for stamping and weld assembly
manufacturing operations through implementation of stopwatch time studies,
standard data analysis, and operation analysis, resulting in higher production
efficiencies, increased product quality, and more effective work practices.
▪ Created, interpreted, maintained, and updated performance tracking
measurement records otherwise known as scorecards. Information derived
from these electronic records were used to keep executives updated on
current performance and develop decision criteria standards for manufacturing
throughput, cost, safety, manpower, quality, and timing.

Industrial Engineering
▪ Coordinated implementation of Workplace Organization on the production floor,
specifically resulting in overall improved customer quality, elimination of waste,
and increased manufacturing throughput.
▪ Conducted classroom training for 5S, Standardized Work, Visual Controls and
Management by Takt Time for approximately 250 hourly and salaried employees.
This training resulted in significantly increased understanding and application of
Kaizen concepts within the manufacturing workplace.
▪ Conducted lean manufacturing audits in five metal fabrication plants to verify the
deployment, accuracy, effectiveness and efficiency of the General Motors Global
Manufacturing System principles in the manufacturing workplace. In this capacity,
overall understanding and execution of lean concepts were consistently reviewed
to ensure that the plants reached full compliance of the Global Manufacturing
System strategy.
▪ Designed and implemented a training video to instruct more than 400 production
employees in the development of standardized work. Tasks included development
of script, training materials and collaborating with audio/visual technicians, to
produce the video which was designed to empower employees to initiate and
successfully implement throughput and quality improvement efforts.
▪ Provided on-site stamping plant support to create, analyze and evaluate utilization
studies of personnel, material, machines, and facilities.
▪ Developed process flows and plant layouts for metal stamping plants.
▪ Worked with a team of hourly and salaried personnel to implement synchronous
manufacturing strategies in both sheet metal stamping and vehicle assembly
operations. Integrated synchronous principles with flexible manufacturing
elements to reduce the variation in press systems and assembly cells, which
resulted in lower production costs, more efficient work cycles and shorter lead
times.
▪ Developed and implemented a continuous improvement strategy known as
Variation Reduction. Implementation included supervision of hourly personnel
who were responsible for evaluation, training, modification, coordination, and
transition of variation reduction programs throughout the plant.
