About Mez Toofan

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONSI have hands-on experience in failures & root cause analysis of mechanical & electrical component modules in both Aviation & Heavy Military Armor Vehicles. I have successfully delivered on time Reliability engineering analysis in order to meet Key Customers’ project fundings from design concept to Low Rate & then to High Rate Productions. Generated Failure Rate predictions, MTBFs & FMEAs analysis during System design & production phase. Acting as a data scientist, I have collected & analyzed field data to seek failure trends, which usually have resulted in finding the root causes of the failures. In addition, my experience expands to Leadership, Project Management, Team Building, Process Mapping, Lean Manufacturing, component Reliability, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Maintainability & Vendor Evaluations.
