• Chemical Lab Support: Replaced incumbent provider, re-staffed personnel, and analyzed test procedures to enhance quality, and timeliness, and ensure chemicals meet thresholds.
• Fluid Analysis Lab Support: Supported fluid sample processes, restructured workforce to handle 3,500+ daily samples, and ensured timely, accurate fluid test analysis performance.
• Quality Inspection and Salvage: Implemented engine block quality and defect inspection process to analyze the defects and determine if blocks can be repaired or must be scrapped.
• NDT Weld Inspection: Conducted non-destructive visual and ultrasonic weld testing to meet specifications and reported defects to the QA department for further action.
• Metallurgical Lab Operations: Streamlined receipt, disassembly, inspection, and testing of components to provide reporting supporting manufacturing, engineering, and quality.
