Solid career developed in large national and multinational companies in the industrial, automotive, and aerospace sectors.
Extensive experience in Process and Production Engineering, Continuous Improvement and Manufacturing.
Proficiency on leading Lean Six Sigma projects thru DMAIC methodology and its tools; (VSM, DOE, MSA, FMEA, C&E).
Process optimization, preventive maintenance plans, TPM and improvement of KPIs such as OEE, set-up, material losses, and utility consumption.
Experience in financial analysis for investment requests in new equipment or technological upgrades, as well as prospecting and managing CAPEX.
Experience in nationalization of manufacturing technologies, as well as the development of new processes/equipment for the production and launch of new products (in non-woven and coated abrasives makers, and their conversions).
Leadership, technical mentoring of engineers, and teamwork focused on results.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND RESULTS
• Over 30% reduction in thermal energy consumption in coated abrasives and non-woven fabric makers ovens, with the implementation of the same solution in other equipment.
• 35% reduction in material losses and a 43% to 72% improvement in OEE for the fabric treating machine, resulting in the elimination of the third shift and reducing rework to near zero. Internal award: 3M Quality Achievement Award.
• Development of manufacturing processes for 4 product lines that migrated from a factory slated for closure. The process was successfully adapted to all equipment and stages, improving the manufacturing costs of the previous factory. For two of these product lines, customers didn't notice any difference, and for the other two, customers noticed a performance improvement.
• Implementation of disruptive technology in the non-woven fabric maker and a full refurbishing, resulting in a significant product quality improvement and earning the 3M Quality Achievement Award.
• Received the 3M Lifetime Educator award in 2018, with 15 voluntary nominations for consistent contributions toMore...
