Engineering Change Management (Epicor): - Created, structured, and managed mBOM's in order to optimize assembly procedures - Developed and customized inventory handling procedures to optimize kitting accuracy/efficiency - Created Business activity queries on current production state and provided feedback on areas needing improvement - Created Business activity queries to reduce number of manual transactions required - Reviewed engineering change orders (ECO) for clarity/accuracy as well as provided feedback for design for manufacturing - Implemented Engineering Change Notices (ECN) within an ERP system (Epicor) and coordinated with stakeholders (Supply chain, Operations, Quality, Sales team etc) to ensure changes were implemented smoothly Manufacturing: - Developed a new production line to ramp up production from 2 vehicles to 8 vehicles a week - Create visual work instructions and train operators on build procedures - Perform Time + Motion studies to balance production lines and eliminate wasted motion - Develop and 3D-print fixtures in Solidworks/Prusa to speed up build times

ERP Management (Epicor): - Created, structured, and managed mBOM's in order to optimize assembly procedures - Developed and customized inventory handling procedures to limit waste - Created Business activity queries to analyse and interpret current state of production - Created Business activity queries to reduce number of manual transactions required Manufacturing: - Developed a new production line to ramp up production from 2 vehicles to 8 vehicles a week - Process ECN's (JIRA) and coordinate with key stakeholders to ensure change is smoothly implemented - Create visual work instructions and train operators on build procedures - Perform Time + Motion studies to balance production lines and eliminate wasted motion - Develop and 3D-print fixtures in Solidworks/Prusa to speed up build times

- Assisted in the implementation of a new production line producing Honda drive and driven gears through visual work instructions and 3D modelling fixtures using SolidWorks - Performed capability and gauge R&R studies using Minitab and Excel in order to identify any processes requiring improvement - Implemented safety documentation on high voltage machines through lockout placards and standardized work instruction - Documented SR&ED hours for a team of 20 team members on a weekly basis to ensure adequate information is provided for tax incentives

- Inspected over 200 Lexus model car seats each day for any physical imperfections and mechanical defects - Worked in a fast pace environment as a team of 12 to ensure seats were efficiently and effectively inspected while meeting daily build orders - Performed various compliance tests to ensure electronic seat components and safety features were operational and performed to company standards - Performed final quality checks before packaging and shipping the seats

- Removed excess plastic from various chair components using an exacto knife - Trained on 10 different works stations to produce various chair components - Performed quality control checks on parts and filtered out faulty products as well as repair any defects - Packaged and sorted hundreds of parts each day to meet daily shipping quotas
