About

I’m a process oriented manufacturing engineer focused on optimizing production lines and driving continuous improvement. Specializing in bottom load, top load, and full transparent module sunroof manufacturing, I develop ergonomic, efficient, and balanced production lines that enhance performance. I lead PFMEA and Control plan using AIAG/VDA methodology with APIS IQ-RM, collaborating on projects to reduce defects, mitigate risks, and develop control plans. I also conduct line balancing and MTM studies to optimize task allocation and maintain cycle time adherence. Passionate about efficiency, I’ve managed an equipment tracker database across North America, improving asset utilization, and perform ergonomic assessments to enhance safety. My goal is to continuously optimize manufacturing processes, reduce cycle times, and ensure high-quality standards while promoting workplace safety. Let’s connect to discuss how strategic process improvements can shape the future of manufacturing!
