Dynaxxxxxxc Leader who offers a background in Plastic Injection Mold Making, Manual / CNC Machines, Electrode Design, Team Building / Training, Tool Rooms, Operations Management, Safety Control, Multi-Site Process Improvement, and Regulatory Compliance; demonstrates proven talents with Advanced EDM, Mastercam, CAD, and WorkNC; and exhibits a strong ability to see the big picture in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.

  Ambitious Self-Starter who can accurately read blueprints, find datums, and apply tolerances to specifications.

  Excellent Communicator who builds and sustains synergistic relationships with senior-level management, manufacturing / operations teams, crew members, and customers; leads staff by example and with integrity to achieve objectives; and can seamlessly work in autonomous or collaborative environments to drive success.

Tool Room Supervisor

  Capitalize on the opportunity to mentor and manage a top-perforxxxxxxng team of six professionals, including rapidly advancing to current role from initial employment as 3^rd man in work crew, supporting upgrading and assembly, and then moving to CAD room using Mastercam to program and operate Fadal CNC vertical xxxxxxlls.

  Orchestrate move of tooling from one shop to another (i.e. Bridgeport and surface grinding machines and CAD systems), including coordinating and managing comprehensive floor plans to accommodate the new machinery, as well as efficiently leveling all machines and then wiring data transfer cables through use of Predator hardware.

  Maxixxxxxxze overall efficiency across 12 CNC xxxxxxlls and 2 boring xxxxxxlls that manufacture the cavity, core, slides, rails, pillars and water lines, as well as strategically perforxxxxxxng wide-ranging tasks such as repairs and in press touch ups.

  Set up a system to improve operations, including leading initiatives to create a finely tuned system that is effectively producing 5-10 quality single and multi-cavity tools per month on time per customer expectations.

EDM Department Leader

  Strategically steered turnaround of a previously failing EDM Department by reorganizing operations with one 5-Axis wire EDM, one 4-Axis gantry CNC EDM, two manual plunge EDMs, and one hole popper to meet goals.

  Designed and manufactured all tooling or fixture-making initiatives while coordinating and managing all shifts.

  Optixxxxxxzed operations by maintaining work within very tight tolerances requiring proper fitting and alignment.

Job Title

  Utilized broad scope of industry knowledge toward operating horizontal multi-palate CNC tooling centers to manufacture transxxxxxxssion cases for Caterpillar Earth Movers, including using computer-driven quality control programs to verify dimensions using go / no-go gauges, bore gauges, thread gauges, xxxxxxcs, and verniers.

  Consistently generated completion percentages of above 100%, including up to 102% or 103%.

Job Title

  Capitalized on the opportunity to work within multiple interim roles to gain further professional experience and knowledge, including supporting operations for Xxxxxx-based Mac Mold Base, Inc. and Colonial Mold.

Job Title

  Built comprehensive professional knowledge by learning and using WorkNC CAM software to program vertical CNC tooling centers (i.e. Taurus, Fadal) to machine lifters and inserts as small as 3 cubic inches or to mold halves that can accommodate car and bus front end bumpers or dashboards which were instrumental in meeting goals.

  Completed work using indexable cutters as large as 3 inches in diameter and as small as 1/32 inches in diameter.

Tool Maker ￨ Upgrader ￨ EDM Specialist

  Played a vital role in driving systems success by completing a 40-hour intermediate learning class with McMachinery / Xxxxxxtsubishi to support operations after the company purchase of a 4-Axis gantry style CNC EDM.

  Productively operated the machine and dramatically increased man hours and improved repeatability rates with regard to tolerance and finish, including decreasing bottleneck traditionally created in the department.

  Decreased outsourcing and increased streamlined approach to the completion of close tolerance molds producing parts for the auto, medical, and xxxxxxlitary tolerances by manually inputting data into a 5-Axis Wire EDM.

  Applied strong leadership talents toward training, mentoring, and managing teams across day and night shifts.

  Enhanced operational processes by creating standards for electrode sizing and manufacturing and perforxxxxxxng all secondary operations on the electrodes (i.e. polishing for removal of cutter marks and flush drilling).
