13. PROJECT Poughkeepsie Journal - Newspaper Printing Press Installation SCOPE OBJECTIVE Lead Design & Customer Engineering on New Printing Press Design. RESPONSIBILITIES My responsibilities were to Design and integrate all components for a new press design which involved supervising 4 Designers & Drafters while simultaneously running other projects with other Designers/Drafters. Interfacing with design teams of specific components such as Reel Pasters, Printing Units, Folders, it was my job to bring all parts together and design the Substructure, Superstructure, Web Leads, All Drive Designs, Building Interface Drawings, Manufacturing inspection & approval. Assist with the Prototype Startup in newly build assembly facility specifically for this design. TIMEFRAME 2 Years from Purchase, Installation to Production Startup COSTS $??M = Total Facility Project Cost $28M = Press Project Cost to Purchase, Manage, Engineer, Install & Startup ACCOMPLISHMENTS Machinery was installed and became as quoted by Gannett Newspapers’ as one of their best running newspapers. Project was delivered on time and under budget as a first prototype design.
16. PROJECT SALE & INSTALLATION AT LARGEST SHEETFED PRINTER IN COUNTRY SCOPE OBJECTIVE Sell and install the first of a new product line; A Large Format Printing Press into the largest sheet-fed printer in the world. Doing so would thereby prove the advantages of the equipment to the marketplace inspiring new sales. PROBLEM The Customer needed to reduced production costs by 13% or they would loose key account. Additionally, not cutting costs, Strine would not be able to afford expansion toward the purchase of newer larger equipment that would open new markets for them; A larger printed sheet as well as increasing production over a smaller machine by nearly 432% FACILITY PLAN Creating 3 Dimensional AutoCAD Geometry of the customer’s entire production area. I sat down with the CEO, Plant Manager, Service Manager and other production personnel in conference. Projected 3 Dimensional working drawing on screen I gave them laser pointers. Designated facility areas for use, then planned moving certain production departments, equipment, creating work flow, production Aisles, and lay down areas in one afternoon. TIMEFRAME 1 Year from Plan to Purchase, Installation and Startup COSTS $5+M = Estimated Total Facility Project Cost $4+M = Press Project Cost to Purchase, Manage, Engineer, Install & Equip. Startup ACCOMPLISHMENTS Incorporating Die Cutting & Folder Operations into the printing facility was successful Customer accomplished targeted 13% reduction in production costs. Savings afforded them the financial backing to purchase one of the largest Sheet-fed Printing Presses in production today and also created new capabilities for them that increased production abilities over their existing 40” machines by over 400%.
17. Newly Relocated Die Cutting & Folder Production Area New Sheet-Fed Printing Machine (top) Streamline Folder Packaging Area (reducing necessary manpower) New Equipment Installation (nearing completion)
24. PROJECT Facility Re-Configuration and Custom Machine Installation SCOPE OBJECTIVE Sell and install UV/IR Process Print machine. PROBLEM Customer needed to expand their printing production. Finding room to place a new machine was difficult if not impossible. New workflow and facility layout would need to be generated. Customer lacked expertise, time and resources to complete such a task. But the purchase of a new machine was highly desired due to the new technology and quality available. FACILITY PLAN & LOGISTICS Creating 3 Dimensional AutoCAD Geometry of the customer’s entire production area. I sat down with Plant Manager, Service Manager and other production personnel in conference. Projected 3 Dimensional working drawings on screen I gave them laser pointers. We designated facility areas for use and began moving machines, Production Aisles, Work Flow & lay down areas in a 3D virtual environment over several visits. The trade-in, removal, and sale of existing equipment needed to be part of the overall reconfiguration and plan with production to eliminate interruptions. I also offered and designed a coater pump system for their older existing equipment so it would operate similar to the new equipment and provide similar performance. TIMEFRAME 1 Year from Purchase, Installation to Production Startup COSTS $4+M = Total Facility Project Cost $3+M = Press Project Cost to Purchase, Manage, Engineer, Install & Equip. Startup ACCOMPLISHMENT Machinery was installed in budget and on time, New and better facility workflow patterns were established. Production interruptions were kept to a minimum and a superior print process was achieved. Coater pump modification were fabricated and delivered superior performance over the old design allowing less downtime and easier cleanup.
