  • Slashed tooling costs by $5 million per year by inventing and implementing tool life calculation model.Trained multiple engineers from the USA, Canada, & Mexico to yield higher cost reduction for other plants.• Identified, analyzed, and developed tooling suppliers to provide top quality tooling for GMPT, Toledo whichreduced pre-pulls from 20% to 7%, machine downtime, & tool cost.• Pioneered tool family based standardized projects which dramatically improved part quality and aggressivelyreduced tooling cost.• Achieved topmost results by leading team of tool engineers to create measurement programs for new pre-setmachines which will greatly increase tool pre-set quality.• Developed & executed a probability-based model by applying lean manufacturing and six sigma theories tooptimize POU inventory to reduce cost by $ 500,000. Show less • Resolved plant’s top scrap issueo Aligned with GM engineering to solve complex scrap associated issues. Optimized tap drill and tapgeometry to control minor diameter and truncation.o 162 Failures in 2015 (~$ 120,000 scrap cost), 83 failures in 2016 till October (~$ 60,000 scrap cost)reduced to 0 failures since November 2016.• Cost Savings achievements (Prismatics)o 9.46% yearly tooling cost reduction (6 & 8 Speed RWD) in 2016o 14.11% yearly cost reduction (6 speed RWD) in 2017o 53.13% yearly cost reduction (8 speed RWD) in 2017• Quality driven Improvements:O Optimized RWD valve bore tooling to resolve sub-assembly rejects.
