About Scott Dayton

All invitations to connect are welcome!During my career I have:QUALITY Reduced failure for sonic welding processes from 52% to zero, resulting in a monthly savings of more than $200K and which held for 15 months. Reduced failure rate for adhesive bonding processes from 65% to 0.6% resulting in monthly savings of $250K. Lowered number of production process defects from 1.7% to 4 (four) out of 8.8 million. Reclaimed a lost $570 million account by solving and implementing a process problem within 48 hours. Retooled defective product purchased from manufacturer and resold it to the manufacturer for Increased production rates by 55%. Sustained production rate of over infrared cameras per day, while reducing costs of primary consumer products by 50%. Improved linearity in a medical packaging operation by over 90% while reducing headcount 25% and cycle time 60%. Increased throughput by 38% while reducing labor by 25%. Led conversion of square feet of manufacturing space while improving productivity by an average of 35%. Designed and built out multiple IR Camera production facilities (500, and square feet), delivering consumer IR cameras in 3.5 years with a return rate of 0.6%COST Reduced time to paint a 24-passenger carbon fiber executive jet from 1,600 hours to 960 hours. Reduced lead time for injection mold parts from 5.5 to 3 days, scrap from 5% to.5%, and labor from 5.5 to 3.5 shifts. As member of MRB created rework process resulting in $450K reduction in discrepant materials. Realized 50% reduction in labor and 28% increase in productivity through sourcing and installation of robotics. Reduced semi-finished goods inventory by $73 million. Reduced lead time and in-process inventories by 50% with an average increase of 17% in quality on multiple production lines.Bottom line: If I can do this for others, in the electronics, aircraft, medical device, energy, optics, military, and aerospace industries, I can do it for you!
