Principal Statistician

As a Principal Quality Statistician in a QS9000 industry, I collaborated and provided technical resources and solutions to management, scientists, design agencies, engineering, supplier quality, project management and machinists. I co-developed root cause analysis training and facilitated problem solving and process improvement teams. Accomplishments include reducing process variation in CNC machining and CMM inspection by 40% resulting in a cost avoidance in inspection ($1.8M annually). Developed and deployed a quality database (InfinityQS) to automate data collection, SPC and reporting real-time feedback. Supported root cause analysis efforts for product nonconformances, anomaly detection and measurement system analyses. Developed supplier quality requirements in the form of inspection and control plans.

Manager of Statistics & Software Quality

I was at the Naval Nuclear Fuels Division for over 9 years with increased responsibilities including 4 years as a Statistician, 1 year as a Manufacturing Engineer (charter member of the corporate OPEX initiative) and 4 1/2 years as the Manager for Statistics & Software QA. I lead and participated in technical investigations of product quality and effectively collaborated with internal departments and customers to reach consensus on solutions. The core team provided statistical support (measurement system qualifications, sampling, SPC, product characterization, problem resolution), data retrieval/reporting (SAS), training (SPC, statistical methods, SAS) and Software QA across the division. Projects completed include deploying a formal statistical analysis and reporting process for product certification (reduced certification cycle time reduction by 35%) and replacing an inefficient lot disposition system with an integrated system of SAS programs controlled by a graphical user interface (GUI). The system also incorporated lessons learned and ad-hoc analysis capability (reduced cycle time by 50%).
