KEY SKILLS ASSESSMENT
Strategic Performance – Discovered debris in solutions used in manufacturing coating process, which led
scientists and engineers to switching out the type of filters being used, saving the company significant
dollars.
Strategic Performance – Devised a revised preventative maintenance schedule that included cleaning
solder pins every 12 hours instead of 24 or 48 hours, as a result of identifying accumulation of solder that was
degrading part quality.
Strategic Performance – Discovered miss branding on the product that was in manufacturing. Shut down
the line and alerted my supervisor. The engineers re-calibrated the equipment and started up the tool. Saved
the company significant dollars and was awarded a "Great Catch" award with a monetary prize.
