CAREER EXPERIENCE:

Allison Transmission Inc, Indianapolis, Indiana
Production Supervisor, Automatic Transmissions January 2013- Present

Duties:
•Lead a group of United Auto Workers (UAW) to achieve desired
production output
o Through effective communication was able to achieve cell theoretical
capacities in numerous cells in the different departments. Many of which
were communicated as not capable.
o All departments I have or had responsibility for have seen an increase
in operational efficiencies during the time spent in them.
•Manage the production process to ensure quality parts are produced per organizational targets
•Work with engineering to maximize production efficiency
o Worked with tooling engineers and CNC programmers to increase capacity
on a constraint machine in one particular cell. This particular machine
is an Enshu that drills thirty-six holes and mill cuts two tangs on a
particular part.
o Was able to gain five additional parts per shift by asking questions
about the particular style of drill being used. The drill chosen has a
longer tool life and the ability to be run at a higher rpm and fed faster
than the old style which reduced the cycle time of the machine. The old
cell capacity was sixty-five pieces, and after this change was able to
achieve seventy pieces.
•Schedule and assign personnel; establish priorities; monitor progress; resolve problems; report results of the processing flow on shift production summaries


Allison Transmission Inc, Indianapolis, Indiana
Manufacturing Engineer, Automatic Transmissions February 2008- December 2012

Duties:
•Implemented manufacturing systems that meet program goals
•Managed several projects simultaneously
•Developed, planned, organized, and managed detailed program timing and cost budgets
o Developed a project that required moving a piece of assembly equipment
from one station to another to better balance the assembly line work
content which also reduced a person in the department from five employees
to four employees. With this project was able to maintain existing
production output with less people.
o Developed a plan to improve an existing sub-assembly line theoretical
capacity. Worked with controls engineers and skilled trades to decrease
cycle time on the constraint operation. This particular station is a
multiple spindle nut runner which torque nuts onto studs to hold a joint
together. Through programming and equipment changes was able to reduce
the cycle time by thirty seconds per part. This reduction in cycle time
was able to gain an additional thirty-three units per shift. It
increased the cell capacity from 150 units to 183 units per shift.
o Through a span of about three years working with various groups was
able to reduce total HPU (hours per unit) in a final assembly area by
thirty-four percent. This was achieved through ...
