Recent Experience
CH2M Hill, Inc. Senior Project Manager - Assisted in the management of a five y
ear program for the US Air Force at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The Hill Air Forc
e Base Lean Transformation Program consisted of process studies, systems design
efforts, implementation of lean concepts, and construction management to improve
landing gear repair operations. The project included implementation of new proc
esses, equipment specification and procurement, lean cell implementation, equipm
ent upgrades, construction management, and facility repairs. The overall project
size was approximately 30 million, over a five-year timeframe. Specific areas o
f responsibility included:
- Designed and implemented automated robotic metal spraying systems for landing
gear applications. Included specification and design of operator interfaces betw
een multiple subsystems controlling fuel mixing, metal powder induction systems,
part turning systems, and robot controllers.
- Training & Team Center Construction Manager of a fast track construction proje
ct that included all disciplines through all phases. Led a design team of 15 eng
ineers including architectural, mechanical, electrical, audiovisual systems, bui
lding automation systems, and other specialty functions. The construction phase
required managing over 30 different subcontractors consisting of over 150 indivi
duals.
- Automated Electrified Monorail (AEM) paint system and accelerated paint curing
process equipment design and implementation.
- Refurbishing of conventional overhead power and free overhead material handlin
g system.
- Construction manager for a new utilities installation, machine shop environmen
tal control HVAC systems, installation of new equipment, upgrades to telecommuni
cations infrastructure, and construction of a new metals laboratory.
Applied Materials, Inc. Software Manager - Directed the development of process a
nalysis software applications implemented in factory-wide analyses for the Facto
ry Productivity Solutions Group. Responsibilities included utilizing AutoSched
AP for administering the analysis of factory-wide scheduling and control algorit
hms, AutoStat for statistical analysis of production methods, Automod for analys
is of material handling systems, and C++ for customized algorithm development of
specialized analysis tools. Specific projects include:
- Applied Materials Automation Design & Consulting
- Customization of cluster tool simulation applications
- Module Controller Testing
- FAB Flow analysis applications
Representative Projects
Administered the design verification and engineering support of multimillion-dol
lar software development projects and installation of production systems within
a wide range of industries including chemical, metals, food & beverage, pharmace
utical, and semi-conductor.
Lead control systems designer for automated material handling systems for multip
le distribution centers at the McLane Company. Design and specification of order
picking control systems and interfaces for multiple large grocery distribution
centers.
Designed and tested dynamic order picking control systems for a new central dist
ribution center of JC Penny, reducing equipment costs by 90% and resulting in in
creased productivity and efficiency.
Verified the design of a concentrate production facility for Coca-Cola, develope
d and delivered strategic analysis software tools for planning and production co
ntrol. The results of the analysis recommended methods for increased efficiencie
s which resulted in the elimination of over $1 million in unnecessary costs, mor
e effective use of capital budget expenditures, and optimized production process
es.
Achieved the 2002 Material Handling Institutes Award for Excellence in Material
Handling. This project was in conjunction with a design team for implementation
of automated material handling systems for Advance Auto Parts, the nations secon
d largest auto parts supplier at the time, resulting in the generation of a 500%
improvement in productivity and decreased labor costs.
