Chemical Engineer (65639) Masters / MBA / Automotive
Michigan based Chemical Engineer with 20 years of experience. He has an MBA, a Masters in Polymer Technology and two bachelors degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. His experience includes Compounding, Grinding, Mixing, Paint/Coating and Injection Molding operations.
He is highly skilled at applying statistical methods to manufacturing processes and lean principles to increase material flow, reducing bottlenecks, improving the process, and waste reduction. He has demonstrated ability to recognize, evaluate and drive equipment, process, and system issues to resolution. He has experience in production paint/coating operations and participated in special builds/test builds (pre-pro/prototype/trial runs), His hands-on approach of developing, evaluating, and improving manufacturing methods and processes and documenting results make him a strong candidate for your consideration. He is willing to relocate. His notable experience includes:
