Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)

Challenge:

Faced with increasing equipment failures at a large-scale manufacturing plant, I led the development and execution of a Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) strategy.

Solution:

By conducting a detailed Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), we identified critical assets and tailored a maintenance plan aimed at preempting failures.

Results:

18% reduction in unplanned downtime.
22% improvement in asset availability.
15% decrease in maintenance costs.

The program's success led to its expansion across multiple plants, creating a standardized and efficient maintenance framework. This demonstrated the scalability of the strategy and improved operational reliability, aligning maintenance strategies with business objectives for sustained cost savings.

Supply Chain Optimization

Challenge:

Persistent supply chain disruptions were hindering production schedules for a multinational manufacturing firm.

Solution:

I designed a strategic initiative that incorporated enhanced inventory forecasting, lean manufacturing practices, and the establishment of stronger vendor partnerships.

Results:

25% reduction in lead times.
30% increase in on-time deliveries.
$21 million annual savings in working capital reductions.

The optimization not only addressed immediate bottlenecks but also strengthened the company’s supply chain resilience, improving customer satisfaction and competitive advantage. This project highlighted the importance of proactive supply chain management in achieving operational excellence.

Digital Transformation in Predictive Maintenance

Challenge:

In alignment with a corporate-wide digital transformation mandate, I spearheaded the deployment of predictive maintenance technologies across a network of manufacturing facilities.

Solution:

Using IoT sensors and AI-powered analytics, the system enabled real-time monitoring of critical equipment, significantly enhancing our ability to predict and prevent failures.

Results:

40% increase in predictive maintenance actions.
35% reduction in catastrophic equipment failures.
2-year extension in asset lifespan.

The transformation fostered a culture of innovation, reduced unplanned downtime, and positioned the organization as a forward-thinking industry leader in smart manufacturing practices.

Engineering Solutions for 3D Concrete Printing

Challenge:

Leading the engineering efforts for a concrete 3D printing firm, I directed the development of innovative concrete mix designs tailored for sustainable, high-performance construction.

Solution:

Collaborating with ASTM on material testing, the team delivered a mix that achieved a 27% reduction in carbon emissions, a 42% decrease in material waste, and a 78% reduction in labor costs due to automation.

Results:

27% reduction in carbon emissions.
42% decrease in material waste.
78% reduction in labor costs.

This breakthrough provided the foundation for the company’s go-to-market strategy, positioning it as a frontrunner in green technology and sustainable construction practices.

Energy Efficiency Project in Manufacturing

Challenge:

To advance corporate sustainability goals, I led an energy efficiency initiative targeting high-energy consumption processes across multiple facilities.

Solution:

The project involved upgrading to energy-efficient equipment and optimizing HVAC and lighting systems, aligning with the company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives.

Results:

18% reduction in energy consumption.
$2 million in annual savings.
12% reduction in carbon emissions.

This initiative positioned the company as a leader in sustainable manufacturing, enhancing its reputation and demonstrating the strategic importance of integrating sustainability into core business operations.
