    • Cameron, a Schlumberger company

      Jun 2013 - Jul 2020

      • Led $3 M Capex project to reorganize our Assembly and Test areas around model value streams and adding innovative technologies to improve the flow and throughput for our product lines. Will result in capacity increase of 26% and yearly savings of $1.8 M. • Implemented Assembly Kitting process for all product lines to reduce cycle times by 20% and increase throughput by 20%. Resulted in yearly savings of $1.4 M. • Facilitated Rapid Improvement Events (Kaizen) for continuous process improvement• Mentor Lean and Six Sigma Green Belt projects • Train personnel on Lean Six Sigma principles and Problem Solving Show less The materials rotation requires decisions regarding raw materials and finished goods. Assignments may include purchasing, scheduling, logistics, and/or inventory management. In this rotation I worked as a Procurement Specialist. • I was responsible for managing outsourcing projects from the first samples all the way through the production orders. These outsourcing projects will result in yearly savings of roughly $800K. • I also completed Green Belt Project to reduce the cycle time that our buyers spend looking up raw castings patterns. I created an Access database that will standardize this process and reduce time the buyers spend in updating and maintaing these records Show less A production supervisor combines the latest manufacturing technology and trained personnel to produce a quality product on time and at a competitive price.• I supervised the Orbit Small Bore assembly line which consists of 18 employees. I was responsible for the daily production schedule and the entire assembly process from assembling, testing, painting, and skidding the valve. • We maintained a first pass yield of 90%, our on time delivery increased from 58% to 95% surpassing our goal of 90%, and helped maintain a productivity rate of at least 99%. • I led daily toolbox talks addressing any safety issues and maintenance concerns. There were no recordable incidents under my supervision. I also conducted weekly safety audits and monthly Six Sigma (6S) audits. Show less Manufacturing or industrial engineering assignments range from product design to shop-floor manufacturing support. This rotation requires the ability to visualize how the product can be produced in the most logical, safe, and cost-effective manner.• My first project was completing an HSE Green Belt Project. The goal was to reduce/prevent total recordable incidents (TRIR) and eliminate all at risk work conditions/hazards. I created yellow aisles for safe walkways, 6S'ed the area around eyewash stations, purchased tooling to increase job safety, and updated our emergency evacuation routes and emergency action plan.• My next objective was to complete some process improvement projects and start a 6S program at the Train Court Warehouse. The first step was to analyze the current processes and perform time studies. After this analysis, we began to implement our improvements. We purchased new tooling and created shadow boards to reduce the cycle time and cost of our processes. These changes resulted in $9,000 saved yearly on wasted labor by reducing the non value added time of our current processes.• My last project was writing an AFE, which is a capital investment with long-term economic benefits. The AFE was required to purchase new warehouse packaging equipment to improve the efficiency and productivity of our packaging processes. The potential yearly savings are $25,860 with an internal rate of return of 152.8% and a payback period of only 0.6 years. The AFE was approved and implemented after I rotated out of this position. Show less The quest for quality is a critical element for the continued growth of Cameron. This rotation required the development and implementation of systems that assure product and process quality. • My first project was helping with a Six Sigma Green Belt Project to improve Warehouse Packing and Logistics. The goal was to increase our customer's experience while saving us time and money. We were able to decrease shipping errors by 15% within 6 months. • My next project involved working with the $26 million dollar Nuevo Cryogenic Project. My objective was to ensure all the skids and spare parts meet a detailed exit inspection, are well organized, and have clear instructions for reassembly of the skids. This had never been done before so I had to create a standard work instruction and travel to site during installation to ensure a smooth transition to the customer. I was also in charge of the Customer Action Plan for Nuevo which included a list of remaining action items needed to complete the project. • My last project was to lead a Layout 6S/Kaizen for our plant to prepare for all of the machines/parts coming from the Ponca City plant. I was responsible for leading a cross-functional team and designating roles/responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition. Show less
