Leading new product implementation, I manage RFQs, BOMs, trial runs, and FA submissions, ensuring compliance with customer specs. My coordination efforts have streamlined project execution, reducing FA approval times. I oversee machinery installations, PFMEA updates, and process optimization, driving cost reductions and operational efficiency. My expertise in jig development, testing, and quality coordination enhances production reliability. I serve as the key contact for customer communication, supplier management, and engineering change notices. By improving workflow documentation and optimizing processes, I have successfully reduced waste and increased output. My focus on cross-functional collaboration ensures smooth project execution from prototype to mass production.

I provided process support for automated and manual assembly lines, enhancing efficiency and product quality. My work in troubleshooting, statistical analysis, and lean manufacturing helped reduce defects and optimize production. By redesigning jigs and fixtures, I minimized repetitive motion injuries and improved cycle times. I led cost reduction initiatives, identifying value engineering opportunities and driving continuous improvement projects. My involvement in new product transfers and ISO compliance ensured seamless production transitions. Implementing Six Sigma and Kaizen methodologies, I contributed to significant cost savings and process enhancements. My ability to analyze and optimize production flows resulted in a more efficient and high-quality manufacturing process.

I implemented predictive maintenance programs, improving equipment reliability and reducing downtime. By optimizing spare parts management, I cut unnecessary expenses and improved resource allocation. I developed an equipment capabilities roadmap, aligning maintenance strategies with business objectives. Collaborating with suppliers, I introduced enhancements that boosted production efficiency. I worked closely with cross-functional teams to establish manufacturing capabilities for new product launches. My focus on process improvement, preventive maintenance, and cost control contributed to a more streamlined and productive operation.
