Material Handling Engineering Lead at FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
I'm an energetic and seasoned leader with a proven track record of solving problems while positively affecting operations, quality and bottom line. Working with Design System Inc., an engineering consulting firm, for over 5+ years I’ve helped organizations navigate a broad range of challenging and complex opportunities from relocating distribution centers to launching new engine models

I hold a BS in Industrial Engineering from Kettering University (formerly GMI)

Select Experiences: 

•  Stationed at a FCA enginee assembly plant lead a team of two engineers during a new engine model launch. We achieved WCM through identifying, designing and implementing two single pick point systems, two hands-free delivery systems and 27 low cost automation gravity flow racks. The new equipment allowed for an increase of 30% (from 55% to 85%) of parts being delivered to the golden zone of the assembly line operators. 

•	Successfully re-designed and led the implementation of all warehousing activities at Mack Engine Plant. Led the effort to replace fleet of traditional sit down forklifts with narrow aisle reach stackers to allow for an additional 150 parts to be stored without increasing overall footprint. 

•  Prepared a strategy for consolidating three service part centers to a single site operation for Raymond Corp a leading forklift manufacturer that led to a 4.3 million reduction in manpower, 37% decrease in average cost per order and 572 line per hour improvement in picking. The client implemented 100% of the recommendations on layout, material flow, material handling equipment and storage mediums. 

•Working for a $25 million industrial supply company  to study their inventory methodology and  proposed revisions to current methodology that would reduce storage footprint, increase inventory turns, and generate potential cost savings of over $4 millions throughout their entire distribution network.
