Manufacturing Engineer @Ashland
Championed Lean, 5S, and Kaizen across two high-volume lines, cutting 150+ hours of monthly waste and raising throughput by 18%, while driving cross-shift standardization. • Uncovered and eliminated time sinks by conducting granular VSM and time studies; changeover time dropped 23%, enabling a smoother flow between mixed-model builds. • Designed and automated SPC tracking systems in Minitab and Excel with control charts and regression models, slashing response time to process deviations by 35% and improving first-pass yield by 15%. • Led root cause investigations using 8D and 5 Whys with maintenance and QA, resolving casting defects that had persisted for months and reducing scrap from 5.6% to 2.4%. • Ran Simio-based layout simulations to validate proposed redesigns, cutting travel distance by 30%, reclaiming 12% floor space, and saving over $30K in material handling inefficiencies.
