ACCOMPLISHMENTS
| Conceptualizing | Developed a way to reduce manufacturing time for computer numerical control (CNC) operations by downloading computer code into the CNC machine. Result: A formerly manual process was automated, reducing operator error and saving time. |
| Production Development | Reduced the design development time for the General Electric Steam Path Ring by merging parts of the design into the next version of the same design. Result: The design time was cut in half. |
| Research | Researched and reviewed many product design projects prior to development, reviewing the product and project history, checking individual parts for any manufacturing problems, visiting the cabinet shop and talking with the builders, consulting with quality control regarding part specifications, and talking with the customer liaison to verify customer desires. Result: Designs completed to customer satisfaction. |
| Designing | Designed a seat tilt mechanism for the Steelcase Criterion project, creating plates for the lock mechanism that came together and binded in order to lock. Result: The design was carried over to a new product line called Rapport. |
| Mechanical Detailing | Took many parts from Steelcase products consisting of plastic casters, rubber mounts, plastic shrouds, and sheet metal parts, applying company detailing standards (ANSI Y14.5) and (ANSI Y14.5M) and performing model maintenance. Result: Parts were detailed to company standards, engineering, and shop satisfaction. |
| Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing | Applied GD&T to drawings of hoods, doors and fenders for the Quality Control department. This required developing a numbering system complementing the standard Toyota number base system for drawings. Result: The first ever GD&T-based standardized drawings that quality inspectors used for determining if a part was in compliance with original design. The application of GD&T also added extra precision, which enhanced final product quality. |
