NPI TRAINING MANAGER
JOB DESCRIPTION:
- Develop MFG training program as well as lead and coach NPI Training team.
- Write process and equipment specifications, training checklists, and exams associated with test and warehouse practices.
- Develop course material and operator training curriculum to drive for heightened performance, motivation, and quality.
- Identify training gaps through analysis of patterned operator errors vs. isolated mistakes to determine additional training needs and analyze effectiveness of program.
- Perform gap analysis of operator competencies and cross-functional skills to ensure production coverage and improve production efficiency.
- Interface with test management and engineering to resolve audit delinquencies and training issues.
- Generate and maintain training records that illustrate individual qualification levels.
- Survey effectiveness of training program and drive improvement initiatives.
- Gate specification releases world-wide to avoid site-to-site duplicates and non-value procedures.
- Validate alignment between documentation and actual test practice to reduce audit non-conformities.
- Audit operations and suppliers to ensure internal SOP and standards compliance.
- Develop preparation tools for production and test engineering to ensure successful audit results.
- Interface with auditors for ISO9000/2000, ISO14001, TL9000, TS16949 and QMS.
- Establish and maintain performance score card that develop direct reports for optimal performance.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- Pioneered training methodology that qualified 100+ NPI operators on over 70 different competencies using a “blanket” certification process. Program resulted in crossfunctionally training 90% of NPI workforce allowing operators to work between Test, Warehouse, and Quality Control. Program was later adopted and standardized as a global process across all production sites.
- Decreased training non-conformities from 43 to zero. Maintained zero audit discrepancies for six consecutive years by implementing quarterly training assessments that gauged the effectiveness of the program and identified error trends. Results of analysis were used to hone in on high risk/high frequency issues and alleviate their impact. Training program was later noted by surveillance auditors as being a “model program to be replicated by all sites.”
- Developed internal courses for operators and techs to increase quality awareness, improve performance, and promote motivation. Courses are as follows: How to be an Effective Trainer, ESD Prevention, FMEA & Control Plan Overview, Visual Mechanical Inspection Procedures, How to Write a Specification, and Proper Product Handling.
- Created internal Document Change Awareness system to ensure spec revisions impacting production were propagated effectively where stakeholders were held accountable for carrying out and adhering to changes.
- Initiated Spec Discrepancy system improving overall integrity of test specifications. Operators were empowered to identify specs changes pertaining to incorrect test programs, out dated procedures, and procedures lacking formal documentation.
- Developed Employee Performance Score Card capitalizing on individual strengths and targeting problem areas for improvement which was later used as a tool to manage overall team development and raise profiles.
TEST ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER
JOB DESCRPTION:
- Write process and equipment specifications for production.
- Generate MTE project plans (craft objectives, success measures, risk and contingencies, milestones, and targets).
- Program-manage key initiatives in support of NPI production strategies.
- Spearhead multiple CFTs such as Metrics Review, FMEA/Control Plan, TPM (strategic & tactical), Spec Reduction, GR&R, Audit Preparation, 10ppm/Customer Service FMEA.
- Execute on high FMEA RPNs to drive continual improvement plans and cross functional initiatives.
- Moderate end-user issues by reducing process risks through establishment or improvement of existing controls.
- Chair intra-site CFTs and generate readiness tools in preparation for internal QMS audits, standards assessments, i.e., ISO9000/2000, ISO14001, TS16949, TL9000, and customer surveillances (e.g., JPL, Lucent, STACK, Cisco, Samsung, Motorola).
- Liaise with QA to understand new Standards adders and MTE/Production requirements.
- Interface with auditors on behalf of Training and FMEA queries.
- Identify training needs and develop curriculum in support of assessment results.

- ECO MFG process documentation to ensure alignment between floor practice and specifications.
- Create and sustain world-wide MTE metrics repository.
- Hold weekly Metric Reviews to strategize for OEE improvements.
- Manage projects derived from production metrics shown to have largest impact against test efficiency.
- Escalate supplier lot holds to accelerate engineering disposition time and reduce lot hold duration.
- Track MTE completion of HR courses and engineering electives to ensure training development goals are met.
- Develop training metrics showing average HR courses satisfied per year and course volume by tenure.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
- Led Test, MTE, and Customer Service teams in developing and implementing Control Plans and FMEAs that satisfied TS16949 registration requirements and targeted process gaps that drove improvements and optimized process controls.
- Developed Project Planning course and conducted S.M.A.R.T Goals training for MTE. Course improved organizational planning resulting in uniform project plans and clear identification of problem triggers, objectives, success measures, milestones, and contingencies. Regular project management provided direction and ensured timely completion of targets.
- Managed Total Production Maintenance (TPM) project to address lean manufacturing and remove job delineations between operators and technicians which subsequently improved test efficiencies and employee profiles.
- Decreased Customer Service data entry ppm from 665 to zero through control plan and FMEA development. Successive program management resulted in reduced RPN ratings by 75% following implementation of Buddy Check System. Significant contribution to company-wide 10ppm initiative.
- Drove worldwide “Best Known Practice” initiative (BKP) to consolidate 250+ specs and reduce documentation redundancy by ~70% (currently at 64 shared specs WW from original 254).
