Introduction
For the spring 2016 semester I
Operations
Management
Leadership
Program (OMLP) with a role in
Advanced Manufacturing Engineering
(AME).
Within the AME department I have mostly been assisting with New Product
Introductions (NPI) from a
manufacturing aspect. Responsibilities have

Projects
Major projects while on co-op have been with the NPI and Lean
workouts. Within the NPI, sub projects have included developing Tooling
Qualifications, assisting with prototype builds and revising manufacturing
instructions. These projects provide value to the plant as they are necessary
for the new product to be manufactured and sold to customers. The Lean
workouts help to optimize factory layout, reduce operation time and improve
safety, ultimately driving manufacturing costs down.
In order to have all necessary tools qualified for the new product, I
identified tools requiring qualification, wrote TQ documents and brought the
tools to be inspected. Working specifically on tools for bays three and four,
nearly all identified tools were qualified, with 21 tools approved in total.
I also prepared four manufacturing instructions for release. These
documents outline the work a production associate will complete during
manufacturing and must be in place for the NPI to move forward into
production. For the largest of these I helped run a two week long Enclosures
build, collaborating with Engineering and production associates to identify
necessary additions and revisions for a final 200+ page draft. I assisted with
two prototype builds as well.
