EESE/Quality Six Sigma Group, EESE Six Sigma Black Belt DFSS and DMAIC.

Managed, Led, and closed seven Six-sigma projects reducing hard savings $2.50M and improved quality by 3.5 Corporate TGW (translated into $15M soft savings). Led Global Teams and authored the development of several architectural strategies that enabled Ford Strategic Commodity Teams to save Ford near $100M (multimedia $40M, climate control $20M, Family entertainment Systems $9M, Driver Information $15M, and speakers $10M.) Led three DFSS projects: Developed Head unit global architecture requirements, developed the system requirements engineering specifications to implement electronic PRNDL display in cluster, developed new standards and procedures to enhance vehicles speakers packaging. Led Seven DMAIC projects: Developed a standard to detect head unit skip issue at the dealer, reduce warranty cost ($1.2M yearly), developed a rattle testing procedure. Implemented the use of this prodcedure in the NVH testing process and at the plants quality audit process. Led the roll out to 14 plants globally located throughout North America. Introduced the Mahalanobis distance approach to the six sigma team at Ford to identify most contributing factor to a defect. Example, radio head unit CD skip issue. Resolved incoming quality issue caused by the use of the wrong testing software version level at the supplier assembly plant. Worked with supplier quality engineers to implement the recommensation and change the control plan. Resolved speaker buzz quality issue through the use of the six sigma tools at the truck plant. Led the recommendation and worked with the design release engineer to implement the recommendationsamong other projects.

Managed the engineering department (3 business Units), that supported business growth of 30% (from $110M to $150M) in two years. Managed 5 teams that launched five radio programs, two navigation programs and three sound systems programs for two different customers. Led the development of mobile multimedia systems (Radios, DVD Navigation, Amplifiers, and Subwoofer assemblies). Managed the CAD and design control process improvement. Led QS9000 team to developed and implemented Design Control process and Procedures for QS9000 and Established a state-of-the-art CAD-CAE system. Managed the negotiation with and approved suppliers/Vendors contracts.

Led the development and the delivery of the first ever VW vehicle using the state of the art steer-by-wire subsystem to VW. Led 3 teams (28 engineers and technicians) across Delphi Automotive Divisions. Negotiated all aspects of the project, scope, deliverables and project timing. Coordinated and negotiated all vendors activities, request for proposals, proposal evaluations and approval process.

Developed and implemented TRW automotive electronics technology road map.
