Continuous Improvement Engineer
Howmet Aerospace • Vollzeit
Feb 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 8 mos
As a Continuous Improvement Manufacturing Engineer, I develop and deliver engaging, data-driven training programs that strengthen employee capability in Lean manufacturing, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and Reliability Excellence principles. I partner closely with Continuous Improvement Engineers to identify process inefficiencies, implement sustainable solutions, and drive measurable improvements in quality, cost, and delivery performance. In addition, I design and maintain custom business tools, including Power Apps and SharePoint sites, to streamline communication, track initiatives, and enhance operational transparency. I support TPM strategies by promoting proactive equipment care, integrating reliability best practices, and fostering operator ownership. My role also involves leading cross-functional collaboration to align improvement initiatives with strategic business goals, ensuring long-term operational efficiency and reliability gains. I analyze production data to identify top scrap issues and facilitate root cause–based projects, leading and managing multiple cost-saving initiatives simultaneously to meet key objectives and deadlines. I oversee the collection of global top improvement initiatives and summarize them in a monthly highlights newsletter. Notably, I participated in a team effort that achieved nearly $7M in scrap cost savings in 2023.

As a Continuous Improvement Technician, I executed activities aligned with the Shape Excellence System, engaging all areas of the plant to drive successful and sustainable implementation of this methodology. I actively participated on the shop floor to provide training and coaching to personnel at all organizational levels. My work included running and following up on Kaizen workshops (SMED, SWKL, Hoshin, MIFC/MIFA, 5S), improving manufacturing efficiency through workflow, space, and equipment layout optimization, and assisting with plant layout activities to achieve lean material flow. I also developed standardized work standards and conducted line balancing for new programs in collaboration with manufacturing engineers, ensuring improvements were both efficient and repeatable.
