Summary of Experience:
 Coordinated multi-disciplined material problem solving teams which included internal
members from R&D,PD and Manufacturing. Extensive use of data analysis for guiding team
decision-making process.
 Experienced with managing material testing lab (with 5 technicians) including purchase and
operation of lab equipment, training on lab procedures, statistical analysis of test results, design
of experiments and measurement systems analysis.
 Successfully organized and setup material testing lab in Lavras,Brazil (for running L-2664).
Spent 2 weeks on-site helping to implement test procedures and train lab personnel.
 Used multiple Gage R&R studies to determine validity of new testing processes and to
eliminate non value-added testing processes. Partnered with R&D to conduct studies and
analyze data. Also conducted experimental material trials with the same partners.
