- Manufacturing Efficiency Enhancements: Collaborated with the Industrial Engineering (IE) team and Contract Manufacturers (CM) to implement process optimization initiatives, resulting in significant cost savings and improved product quality, achieving ZERO escape.
1) Developed a jig for assembling foam, reducing assembly time from 14 seconds to 10 seconds and decreasing the workforce requirement from three operators to two at this assembly station.
2) Created a fixture for assembling SMB RF connectors with the Main Logic Board (MLB) to prevent capacitor knock-off and damage during the assembly process, achieving zero failures post-implementation and ensuring ZERO escape.
3) Improved costs by reducing part length, minimizing waste at the supplier level to save 50 cents per part by avoiding re-cutting at the CM sub-assembly line.
4) Eliminated the need for 2D barcode scanning at the board-level test, saving 5 seconds per test station across 10 stations and reducing the workforce from three operators to two.
5) Modified sub-assembly jigs with poka-yoke (error-proofing) mechanisms to prevent operator mistakes.
Relocated and adjusted process steps/stations to shorten material movement cycle times.
- Stakeholder Relationship Management: Established strong relationships with Contract Manufacturers (CM) and clients, facilitating effective communication and collaborative problem-solving to swiftly address challenges.
- New Product Introduction (NPI) Streamlining: Streamlined NPI processes, achieving timely product launches while consistently meeting specified cost, quality, and capacity targets.
