XEROX CORPORATION, El Segundo, CA1985-1994
Manager: Manufacturing Research; Industrial Engineering; Technology
Southern California Manufacturing Operations
•Developed strategy for electronics manufacturing and the strategic portion of the Annual Plan for the Division and a five year plan for the three plants comprising the division. Resulting investments have maintained a state-of-the-art facility with year over year cost reductions of 5-10%.
•Managed the allocation of funds, definition and implementation of technology projects. Planned, allocated and approved capital investments. Invested $12M and completed four to six enabling technology projects annually ($0.6M to $3.0M).
•Consolidated the monthly Rolling Production Plan and directed work force planning for a four plant 1300 person manufacturing operation. Reduced monthly meeting time by 80% and preparation from two weeks to one. Substantially expedited decisions on staffing changes.
•Chaired Xerox’ world-wide Automation Communications Team that ensured sharing of expertise across plants and prevented redundant investments.
•Completed special assignments for the division’s general manager:
-Prepared a comprehensive proposal and plan for a closure of a facility, saving $2M annually.
-Recommended a 25% cost reduction and reorganization plan for the electronics assembly plant ($40M overhead). Several of the recommendations were implemented, saving $2M annually.
Manager, Manufacturing/Product Engineering1984-1985
Xerox Electronics Division, El Segundo, CA
•Established and managed a department of 25 providing advanced manufacturing engineering support for design, long range planning for equipment, processes, CAD/CAM interfaces and documentation, and the manufacture of thick film, light sensitive voltage regulators. 150 new products were introduced annually. Installed 3 robotics cells and automated vision, saving $1.2M annually.
•Planned andcoordinated the implementation of new technologies, such as Surface Mounted Devices, into the design and manufacturing processes and long range strategic plans. All new products now use Surface Mounted Devices, saving up to 50% in production cost.
Member of the Research Staff1977-1982
Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Advanced Development Laboratory
•Established an electrography laboratory and conducted an experimental and theoretical research program in anomalous behaviors in electrographic writing.
•Directed the work of consultants in the development of theoretical models and supervised research assistants, resulting in a plausible explanation of flaring.
Principal Member of the Engineering Staff1970-1975
Xerox Data Systems, Electronics Division, El Segundo, CA
•Designed electronics hardware for computers including connectors, multilayer boards, backpanels, cabling, and analyzed air and heat flow. Developed a fiber optic interconnection system. Developed a system of automatic PWBA designs.
