Job Objective
Continue my advancement and exposure in operations analysis and management by developing company wide solutions across product lines, production lines, as well as sales and operations, by focusing on failure foresight through data driven analysis and benchmarking internal operations, products, materials, and designs against industry standards and competitor operations. With this experience, I can effectively produce a more robust and reliable operation and product in a shorter time frame and at a lower cost.
