Achieved timely completion of Product Validation activities of handled programs despite challenges in working with in-house, off-shore and 3rd-party laboratories.
Effectively managed EDD budgets on two programs (P32R CAFC and L21B) and able to retain around $50k as savings. Pursued recovery of total validation cost of around $138k from YZ T&C plant.
Proactively collaborated with the plants (Lapulapu, Gabriela and YZ T&C) to discuss and investigate product issues; performed studies, simulations and replication of issues, and a series of DFM discussions to finally close dimensional issues.
Handled Nissan Global IPDM maintenance activities and the implementation CTO initiatives (W5/W6). Also, temporary took over the responsibility of DFL 322 and managed a successful PV including 3rd-party EMC testing in Spain until on-time SOP.
Established “3D scanning” as a regular “Parts Inspection activity” for Nissan plastic parts in conjuction with Polyworks application. Arranged several scanning trials with different suppliers to verify scanning machine output quality.
Initiated the investigation and discussion with Purchasing and SQA on the discrepancy of an injection supplier using a resin brand (same material type) different than what was used in a previous program. Performed material-level testing and application-level testing on the new resin brand to fully-validate.
Lead a team of cross-functional engineers in conducting Benchmarking activities on electronic and passive control modules from several competitors: Continental, Hella, Omron, Bosch, Sumitomo, others. Benchmarking reports were submitted to Lear-Valls and reviewed.
Performed impact evaluation of SCRs affecting several Nissan-Renault programs and prepared summary presentations to program manager.
