3 greatest professional achievements:
- Being challenged to work as a Senior Engineer in South Carolina to direct the team and drive down customer concerns and CONQ. In under 3 months clear progression was made in the unit to better control the products and maintain process capability with the use of implementing automatically generated offsets from the CMM’s which link to the CNC’s, to reduce PPM and ultimately reduce CONQ. This was reduced from an average of $140,000 a month to under $30,000
- Being handed a problematic manufacturing line which produced high volume and high accuracy Major Engine components for Jaguar Land rover. With set goals and targets and being able to exceed those targets with the team. Reduction in customer concerns from 37 in H1 2018 to 6 in H2 2018, Reduction in PPM and reduction in Assembly Failures from 40% to 2% by working with Suppliers.
- Being given the opportunity to mentor an Apprentice into a quality role coming from the apprenticeship background and seeing him progress to become a Quality Engineer and continue to succeed in that role.
3 most important things about next move:
