PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
EATON CORPORATION, Spencer, IA 7/2011 - 10/2013
Heat Treat Supervisor
Responsible for ensuring that the heat treat department and 3 other machining centers were:
Following safety requirements established by EHS department;
Properly staffed to support monthly build levels;
Producing quality parts at production rates established by the Lean Department;
Prioritizing the correct parts.
Select Accomplishments:
• Utilized design of experiment (DOE) and model based problem solving techniques to resolve heat treatment quality issues.
• Selected to take on additional responsibility for 3 machining cells for a total of 25 direct reports.
• Resolved a quality issue with the ferritic nitrocarburizing, utilizing segmentation and DOE, that had caused a 3 day 100% failure rate for coverage by leading a cross-functional taskforce (Quality, Engineering, and manufacturing operators) to identify and implement effective solutions in cleanliness standards in machining process that also achieved additional cost savings.
• Maintained 79% staffing utilization by creating daily, weekly and monthly staffing plans.
• Developed staffing plan to support a 100% increase in product output in 30 days (utilizing overtime and temporary staffing).
• Strategized with materials department and internal and external customers and operators to set goals and priorities for production to assure meeting all deadlines.
• Updated instructions and procedures (ISO documents) to improve quality and reflect most current practices.
• Evaluated performance, identified improvement strategies and coached staff to achieve goals.
INTEL CORPORATION, Rio Rancho, NM 6/2002 - 7/2011
Yield (Quality) Department Metrology Equipment Engineer
Directed daily operational activities of vendor field service engineers (FSE) and interfaced with vendor corporate management and engineering staff;
Maintained Intel’s quality standards by monitoring SPC and process data from the tools;
Trained manufacturing technicians (MTs) to operate and perform basic recovery techniques for the equipment;
Wrote equipment recipes to detect and image defects;
Consulted with process owners to ensure that tools were not causing defects on the wafers and that defect coordinates were matched between inspection and review tools so that real defects were not considered false positives;
Worked with process owners to troubleshoot yield issues.
Select Accomplishments:
• Managed the installation / conversion of P1268 Defect Metrology Process Equipment (~30 pieces of equipment worth ~$28M of equipment that was needed to qualify all P1268 production equipment) and coordinated activities between trades that moved in and fabricated infrastructure for the tools, vendor field service engineers, vendor installation personnel, and Intel tool owners.
