Manufacturing Process Improvement Engineer
My skills, abilities and experience have allowed me to flourish on unique opportunities where others have struggled. I employ a strict scientific approach to problem solving. Utilizing this comprehensive knowledge with my broad experience, I am able to offer reliable solutions to many manufacturing difficulties. My unique approach utilizes common problem-solving tools with an advanced comprehension of manufacturing systems to identify constraints based on the whole process rather than focusing on limited academics.

Experience:
Manufacturing Engineer – Case, New Holland Agricultural, Racine WI (2007 – 2011)
Responsible for quality improvements, cost reductions and new product development. Under the World Class Manufacturing initiative, I have been involved with the Autonomous and Professional Maintenance “Pillars”, by providing Engineering support on model machines and areas.
Manufacturing Engineer - Harley-Davidson Motor Company Milwaukee, WI (1997 - 1999, 2004 - 2007)
I was responsible for several different products and processes. Focusing on continuous improvements in process development and quality control systems. Improved efficiencies and reduced manning requirements while achieving product cost reductions and increased quality goals. Have been successful with the production of several Core Competent components for future (current) programs. Significantly improved equipment reliability ratings by identifying and correcting frequent failures, reduced 'troubleshooting' times and aided in effective Preventative Maintenance programs.
Contracted - Controls, Service, Applications and Manufacturing Engineering (1995 - 2004)
Developed, installed and serviced manufacturing processes, support programs and equipment in Malaysia, Germany, Canada and the United States. Responsibilities were varied from equipment repair to complete 'turnke...
