The hiring Manager wanted me specifically due to this long experience because Orthofix wanted to lower discrepant material costs due to the rejection of internally created instruments as well as those from external suppliers. My duties were to scour the ERP database to identify the instruments with a history of MCRs and analyze the recorded data to begin to identify the root cause. I was responsible for creating the internal resolution team from the departments of manufacturing, quality, and R&D along with each specific external supplier for components not manufactured in-house. Due to my long experience in machining processes, metrology, and mechanical design, I was able to lead this team to identify the root causes and formulate resolutions for each component. The resulting benefits to the company of this project were never quantified during my contract. That job fell to Quality and Management (after my departure). But given that the average monetary cost of a single rejection was in the area of $5000, it is safe to assume that the cost savings over time would add up to millions of $$$Dal-Bac Forney, TX - contract - 6/2019 to 9/2020Industrial Engineer / Mechanical Design Engineer/Maintenance ManagerManufacturer of laminated textilesDesigned for new equipment, repair parts, introduction of new technology, process ImprovementDesigned systems for automatic monitoring of adhesive thickness, new dye-cutting procedures that promised a doubling of productivityDesigned replacement parts for old, obsolete laminating machines that (all) worked much better with no break-downsDesigned for implementation of process improving new technology, mechanical systems using 3-D design softwareReduced downtime during my employment thereby better than 50%, and ergonomic issues, (i.e. injuries) were reduced by 90%Friesens Detroit Lakes, MN - contract - 8/2017 to 5/2019Mechanical Design Engineer IIManufacturer of custom-designed conveyors, platforms, process equipment for the food industry3D design (SolidWorks) and Mechanical Drawing creation of customer-driven designs of stainless-steel conveyors, processing equipment, platforms for the food industrySelected proper belt configurations; motors, gearboxes from input per customer needsDetermined proper motors and gearboxes from inputs of weight/speed requirementsLead and write PFMEAs for new assembly lines; communication skillsHorton Britton, SD 6/2013 to 8/2017Engineer: Design / Manufacturing / Industrial, Project ManagerManufacturer of fan clutches for the automotive industry(My work here covered the entire plant from re-manufacturing mechanisms and installation of a highly successful wastewater filtering system that saved the company $1,500,000 annually)3D Design of all fixtures, handling equipment, automation machines using NXUsed Team Center for data storage etc. with NXCreated and maintained detailed models & drawings of all designs in CAD archivesPerformed training of production personnel for fixtures, handling equipment, automationLayout assembly lines/processes with specifications for new product linesMinarik Motion & Automation Plano, TX 6/2010 to / 6/2013Automation Design Engineer/Project Engineer-ManagerSupplier of automation equipment/components (now under ownership by KAMAN Industrial)Created and maintained models and drawings of automation systems with SolidWorksCollaborated with customers to establish requirements/budgets for projectsManaged internal/external design reviews to monitor, approve, completeKringstad Ironworks Park River, ND 12/2008 to 5/2010Mechanical Design / Manufacturing Engineer /Project ManagerFabricator/builder of beet pilers, conveyors, custom-designed / built AG implementsDetail models and drawings of beet pliers, agricultural equipment with SolidWorksWorked together with customers to establish requirements and budgetPresided over design reviews, to monitor/approve project progress through completionProvided cost/design justifications to customers and management utilizing highly developed communication skillsCaterpillar Paving Products Brooklyn Park, MN - contract - 10/2004 to 11/2008 (contract)Design / Manufacturing Engineer/Project ManagerManufacturer of road building/maintaining implements, equipmentDesigned assembly fixtures, tools, ergonomic, safety equipment, handling equipment for the Compactor line using Pro-EPerformed time studies at each assembly cell and make recommendations for line balancingLayout assembly floor configurations for manufacturing planning / graphic visualizationAnalyzed process sequences and time studies and implemented continuous improvementsADDITIONAL INFORMATIONAttended college From August 2001 through May - 2004NW Swissmatic Minneapolis, MN - 6/1981 - 8/2001Supervisor, Tool Maker / Designer / Tool Grinder / Wire EDM ProgrammerManufacturer of custom-designed screw machine-made partsSaved $18,000 and hundreds of labor hours by designing and building all work-holding tooling for wire EDM, achieving greater ease of use and higher accuracy than recommended high-end toolingMade machine tools for all six company manufacturing departments serving major manufacturing clients worldwide, including IBM, Dana, HoneywellDesign and built machine tool fixtures, automation machines, machine parts, ID and OD microform tools (involved writing programs and operating wire EDM machines to cut form tools)Frequently recognized by company president and users for the ability to achieve unmatched accuracy & finish on tooling, resulting in longer-lasting tools, much higher quality finished products, and greater productivitySupervisor said, Randys work was always timely, and his quality consistently the best.
