Industrial engineer with 6 years in automotive component manufacturing, owning line balancing, time studies, and layout for a plant of 900 running 14 assembly lines. Raised line throughput 23% on the highest-volume line without capital spend, cut changeover time from 48 minutes to 19 across 6 lines, and delivered $1.9M in verified annual savings across 3 years. Measures every change at the line, and only counts savings that finance has signed off.
Coursework in Work Measurement, Facilities Planning, Production Systems, Statistics, and Operations Research.
Green Belt earned in 2021; 5 Black Belt projects completed with finance-verified savings.
- Own line balancing, time studies, and layout for 14 assembly lines in a plant of 900 producing 4.2M transmission components a year.
- Raised throughput 23% on the highest-volume line by rebalancing 22 stations and removing 2 bottleneck operations, with no capital spend.
- Delivered $1.9M in annual savings verified by finance across 3 years through 11 improvement projects.
- Cut changeover time from 48 minutes to 19 across 6 stamping lines using SMED, adding about 1,100 production hours a year.
- Set labour standards for 180 operations through time studies, replacing estimates that were off by an average of 17%.
- Redesigned a 40,000 square foot sub-assembly area, cutting material travel distance 44% and freeing 3,000 square feet.
- Completed 60 time studies across 3 lines that became the basis for a rebalancing project.
- Built a simulation model of a packing area that identified a 12% capacity gain from 1 layout change.
- Documented standard work for 25 operations, adopted by the plant before the internship ended.
High-Volume Line Rebalance. Rebalanced 22 stations on the highest-volume line after 3 weeks of time studies and a simulation model, moving 14 work elements and combining 2 operations, which raised throughput 23% and cut operator idle time from 18% to 6% at no capital cost.
Stamping Changeover Reduction. Ran SMED workshops across 6 stamping lines, converting 31 internal setup steps to external and standardising die carts, which cut changeover from 48 minutes to 19 and added about 1,100 production hours a year.
Sub-Assembly Layout Redesign. Redesigned a 40,000 square foot area from a process layout to 4 cells using spaghetti diagrams and a simulation of 6 alternatives, cutting material travel 44% and freeing 3,000 square feet for a new product line.
- Member of a regional industrial engineering society chapter, attending about 6 plant tours a year.
- Judge for a high school engineering design competition with about 30 teams each spring.
- Volunteer process advisor to a food bank that packs 2M meals a year.
- Lead kaizen events of 8 to 12 cross-functional participants, 14 events completed across 3 years.
- Mentor 2 industrial engineering interns a year through structured time study and project work.
- Chair a monthly savings review with finance that verifies every improvement claim before it is reported.
