Synopsis of Achievements  Consistently strove for more efficiency in the workplace, reducing scrap and
increasing both quality and production while eliminating down time
 Developed excellent mechanical ability through secondary s chool classes and many
years of experience over a wide range of equipment.
 Wide experience ranging from CNC and manual milling and tool making, creating
molds, gauges and fixtures through all aspects of manufacturing
 Completed the necessary schooling and time requirements for the state of
Wisconsin’s Tool and Die apprenticeship
 Completed college transfer courses related to machining and manufacturing
including classes in blueprint reading, quality control, hydraulics/pneumatics,
manufacturing methods, leadership development, mechanisms, ac/dc electronics,
precision measurement, AutoCAD I, Solid works II and many more
 Increased manufacturing production 10% in 7 days with the implementation of a
suspect parts containment process which greatly reduced scrap and loss
 Replaced a complicated production tracking system costing tens of thousands of
dollars by designing and creating a compact and user friendly interface greatly
reducing redundancy, errors, time and paperwork, this system is still the standard
to date

2.  Completed college transfer courses related to machining and manufacturing
including classes in blueprint reading, quality control, hydraulics/pneumatics,
manufacturing methods, leadership development, mechanisms, ac/dc electronics,
precision measurement, AutoCAD I, Solid works II and many more

techniques including TIG and MIG on aluminum and tool steels
 Constantly decreased machining times while maintaining a very
high level of quality maintaining tolerances to .0005”
Process Technician 2006-2007
 Troubleshooting of press and quality issues with skills learned
from previous years of employment
 Maintained Shift Lead position performing supervisory duties
 Response and resolution of quality issues
Lead/Cell Leader 2004-2006
 Continuous improvement of production tracking
 Acting supervisor when shift supervisor was not present, well
over 500 hours recorded time as shift supervisor of a team
around 60 employees working in numerous positions and
departments
 Completed and authorized payroll
 Communicated closely with incoming shift, relaying information
and issues to supervisors and techs
 Inspected suspect parts, recovering much potential scrap
 Granted vacation days and mediated disputes
Lead Material Control 2002-2004
 Mastered the tasks required to monitor, record and maintain
quality production
 Ordered components needed for daily runs, closed job packets
with job cost variance reports
 Recorded production, downtime and employee labor for all
presses and jobs
 Completely changed the methodology used to record
production, downtime and labor to be entered into the Oracle-
based machine and labor database. Method was adopted by all
material control workers on all shifts and has been in use ever
since, saving countless hours of time and reducing waste by
orders of magnitude. My system is now the standard used, in
which new employees to the position are trained
