  • Kohler Co. - Product Engineer

    2007 - 2008 As Product Engineer, I am responsible for the R&D activities of the baths and spa baths product categories and for the migration to China of the same product family following the transfer of the manufacturing activities.
    Working in conjunction with the supply chain team, I am providing technical support to our Chinese suppliers, managing the migration of the manufacturing processes and techniques, and ensuring continuity of supply at the required quality standards.
    I am also rationalising the product range and the use of components in conjunction with the marketing team in order to ensure that market expectations, cost targets and product design evolution objectives are met on an on-going basis.
  • Kohler Co. - Project Engineer

    2006 - 2007 As Project Engineer, I had a diverse role covering the establishment of a technical process knowledge base, the development of process controls and documentation through to coordinating and supervising the new processes and products implementation as well as continuous improvement activities. A strong focus in this role revolves around Six Sigma and Lean manufacturing tools.
    Over 18 months, I achieved cost savings of $150,000 per year and developed process documentation covering all steps of the manufacturing process. I have successfully re-organised a production department following the lean manufacturing principles.
  • Washtech Ltd. - Engineering Manager

    2004 - 2005 As the Engineering Manager I was in charge of four staff with four sub-contractors and a budget of more than $450k. I was managing the re-design process and introducing the re-designed products to the production line, for the entire product range. I was also in charge of product and process continuous improvement and, in conjunction with the Purchasing and Manufacturing Manager, I was involved in the process of finding, evaluating and implementing new processes and/or suppliers. I also implemented design, validation and verification processes from the specifications stage through to commencement of production.
    As a result of my actions, I not only achieved a reduction in cost of the re-designed products by up to 30%, but also ensured they were released to production following a specific timing plan and as per determined specifications agreed upon by all actors. I therefore allowed a strategic plan to be put into place and impacted on production efficiency.
