I have been a Program Manager with the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center since 2016 as a Lean Program Manager and Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.
I have nearly 30 years of experience in manufacturing, most of it as a Tier I supplier in automotive. Working in the companies I have has provided me with significant process knowledge in many technologies including glass manufacturing, injection molding, adhesive systems, knitting, jet and tank dye, fabric finishing, flame lamination and welding processes (spot and MIG). Most of my time in the private sector has been spent in Operations, Continuous Improvement, Quality, and Engineering.
Lately I have been spending a lot of time working with the Technology Team here at The Center in Michigan building an "Industry 4.0" environment and looking at ways for our clients to capitalize on the reduced costs and increased ease of using technology.
