Profile, operating style, practice pillars, and the hands-on manufacturing foundation that supports the program-management practice.
← Back to homeI run programs the way a conductor runs an orchestra — every section in time, every soloist heard, the score followed where it serves, departed from where it doesn't.
My work spans multi-site, high-value product launches across automotive supplier environments serving major OEMs. I lead through phase-gate execution, APQP/PPAP governance, RAID-based risk control, and structured stakeholder communication — backed by ASQ-certified quality engineering rigor and hands-on operational excellence practice under Hoshin Kanri, Lean, and Six Sigma disciplines. The work is technical. The outcome is commercial. The discipline that bridges the two is project management.
APQP from Product Design Freeze through Start of Production. PPAP submission ownership, gate readiness reviews, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined milestone control.
Structured RAID logs, ECN/ECR coordination, contingency planning, executive escalation routines. Risk owned, tracked, retired — not just listed.
ROI, payback, cash-flow, and CAPEX business cases for tooling and equipment investments. Approval-grade analysis, supplier-led development, FAT/SAT through tool buy-off.
Hoshin Kanri strategy deployment, Lean transformation, Six Sigma rigor. Applied VSM, SMED, 5S, Poka-Yoke, and structured A3 / 8D problem solving in manufacturing and launch environments.
Front-end stamping and materials-flow improvement across a multi-press production environment, covering FLD / forming-simulation review, APQP stamping readiness, PFEP, packaging design, point-of-use flow, supermarket sizing, milk-runs, Kanban min-max logic, and tugger / forklift capacity modelling.
Manufacturing engineering support for EV battery cooling systems, including APQP / PPAP coordination, PFMEA sessions, Control Plan / PFD / WI updates, equipment safety review, calibration, AviX work breakdowns, robotic-cell capacity improvement, and run @ rate support for product transfer.
Operational excellence and manufacturing specialist work across aerospace cabin-interior production: manufacturing-method selection, production-tool improvement, serial-life change management, layout changes, operational-maturity actions, standard work, line pacing, prototype build support, and supplier / engineering troubleshooting.
