Major Achievements 

Research Information and Analyze Options 
    ●  Researched and purchased better heat exchanger that alleviated our
         heat loading problem. Saved company four-six hours of downtime per
         eight hour shift and improved product yield at extruder.
    ●  Purchased and refurbished used gearbox as spare. Saved 12 days of
        downtime and eliminated risk involved to rebuild critical pieces of 
        equipment.During emergency rebuild, we are only down two days 
        instead of two weeks, which was company standard.

Manage People and Projects
    ●  Successfully led refurbishment campaign on all three extruder  
         gearboxes.  Proactive of gearboxes reduces downtime to two days
         instead of two weeks.
    ●  Reallocated resources during two week annual shutdown to ensure  
         all projects finished on time and under budget.

Extrapolate Essential Data
    ●  Proved that product quality issue was not due to equipment processing
         parameters. Product design team discovered fault in their print
         test methods.
    ●  Evaluated trends of real time data on AFG grinder. Proactive 
        identification of problem prevented coarse particle contamination.

Optimize Expertise to Influence Management Decisions 
    ●  Determined capital project would need to be undertaken to avoid
         having to deplete internal resources in the event of failure.  This 
         decision saved the company close to $1MM.
    ●  Created viable process for extrusion during new product 
        development, which resulted in increased effectiveness.
