The following comprise my efforts managing quality and improvement centric projects: QA involved identifying appropriate production methods, testing procedures (ANSI, ASTM, EPA), metrics and tolerances, developing new procedures (mechanical, chemical, or testing), maintaining project/ process configuration, calibration control of instrumentation, and traceability of standards (chemical and metrological). QA also included evaluation of projects or vendors quality programs and technical capability, their adherence to process requirements and procedures, and evaluation/approval of their process change requests. Processes were proactively evaluated for risks and weaknesses to ensure adequate controls were incorporated. QC involved assessments of pre and post process materials for compliance to chemical specifications (elemental and molecular composition, hazardous waste disposition), physical specifications (GD&T, hardness, phase transitions), the maintenance of process set-up and process control (SOPs, lot traceability, and record maintenance), monitoring process independent variables (time, temperature, pressure, speed-feed, scheduled tool changes), data quality (accuracy/precision, S/N, Nyquist, BER), and monitoring dependent variables (SPC). Failure analysis involved identifying the failure or nonconformance root cause in scrap, field failures or engineering testing. Failure analysis included methods employed in QC testing and, frequently, high-magnification imaging and micro-quantitative analysis. Process improvement opportunities were identified by evaluating process capability and reviewing rolled throughput yield, rework, scrap, costs and schedules. Improvement required integration of alternative technology or development of new technology optimized by design of experiments to expedite process development and ensure well characterized process variables. Processes and methods were improved by minimizing bureaucracy and optimizing or deleting testing, metrics, and instructions/documentation/ records as appropriate. Training was provided to personnel to understand, identify, and perform process improvement (6-Sigma & Lean). Process improvement projects involved functionality diverse disciplines and were multi-million dollar technology/R&D efforts; projects were managed using systematic standard principles to ensure cost, schedule, deliverables and quality were achieved within project scope. Decommissioning involved closure of projects/facilities and ensuring item control (equipment) and concomitant risks (hazardous wastes) were identified and safely and appropriately addressed. Decommissioning required coaching and reviewing the development of high-level plans/guidelines for adherence to regulations for identification and disposal of assets and hazardous materials, ensuring safety and training, and consideration of alternative actions and adaptive planning for unknowns.
