Accountable for launching continuous process improvement projects for 2 facilities processing chicken products. And increasing throughput, efficiency, and yield for plant processing 800 birds per minute. Planned, designed, and managed projects, ranging in value from $20M to $150M. Facility encompassed 1M sq. ft. Directed 30 maintenance technicians and 32 contractors

¨       Boosted equipment efficiency by 12% to 98%+ representing $10M in yield improvement alone, and decreased production time and; also                  improved product quality.

¨       Increased yield and production-throughput to 30K pounds per hour in the cooking process.

¨       Cut marinating time from 2.5 hours to 45 minutes by designing new central vacuum system.

¨       Improved packaging process and re-engineered area adding 4 bagging machines allowing different types of bags from pillow pack to re-                  closable zipper bags to meet customer requirements.

¨       Reinvented liquid Nitrogen delivery method using a pusher tank instead of a pump ensuring delivery tunnel retained freezing properties over          150 feet transit.

¨       Redesigned feed system for 5 tumblers, engineering calculations that manage 3,600 CFM decreasing
