Results you can measure.
Every project ends with a number. Here are a few.
Lower material cost.
Qualified alternate cushioning polymers (PE, PVC, EVA) with zero loss in protection.
Defects stopped before production.
FMEA and root cause analysis on 50+ lots a week.
Less time on reporting.
A weekly customer report, automated from hours to minutes.
Faster cycle time.
Lean workflow changes on the line.
Built to standard.
Running production. Making it faster.
As Production Process Manager, she takes OEM orders from PO to production: pricing, BOMs, inventory, PPAP. Then she fixes what slows the line down.
Automation3–4 hrs → 30 minAutomated a weekly customer report.
A marine engine OEM needed a detailed weekly report that took 3 to 4 hours of manual work.
Rebuilt it as an automated workflow and trained a colleague to run and maintain it.
About 85% less time every week, and a smoother experience for the customer.
PlanningRight orders, first.Fixed order prioritization on a key account.
Priority errors on a power equipment OEM's orders meant the wrong jobs were being worked first.
Traced the errors in the order data and corrected how priorities were set.
The line works the right jobs in sequence, improving on-time delivery and customer satisfaction.
ToolingOne source of truth.Built a quoting calculator and quote library.
Quotes were calculated by hand and stored in scattered places, slowing responses.
Built a quoting calculator for a customer account and organized past quotes into one accessible system.
Faster, consistent pricing that anyone on the team can find and reuse.
“The quickest and easiest I have seen things handled on this account.”Customer contact, marine engine OEM
Designed. Tested. Proven.
From cushioning curves to CAD models, the engineering behind the package.
Materials · Sirajul Foam Industries−25% costQualified alternate cushioning polymers.
Protective packaging material costs were high, but any substitute had to survive distribution.
Ran comparative cushioning, vibration and thermal tests on PVC, PE and EVA to ASTM and ISTA methods, working directly with suppliers.
25% lower material cost with no loss in protective performance.
Design · MSU School of PackagingTop 4 in classGlass bottle and protective system.
Design a primary glass container and secondary pack that balance protection, cost and sustainability.
Modeled the container and pack in CAD, then ran distribution-style testing and a sustainability analysis.
Ranked Top 4, documented in a formal technical report suited to regulated pharma packaging.
The path so far.
