*
Manpower Scheduling & CAD Management
Developed and implemented a manufacturing and customer documentation system w
hich significantly increased production.
* Designed and implemented manufacturing controls primarily responsible for expa
nding capability of production by 200% for the division.
* Advance the use of detailed project and production schedules to reduce lead ti
me and increase throughput efficiency.
Project Management and Engineering
Re-designed of an aerospace launch facility project, by creating in
stallation documents, coordinating procurement, verifying installation methods &
