EXPERIENCE
INTEVAC INC., January 2001 to present, Santa Clara, CA
Program Manager
Responsible for the development of their first Program Management team which included establishment of recourse plans, self directed design, engineering and manufacturing teams for their first, large scale, “flat Screen” Sputtering System product line.
Developed and coordinated the analysis of company capability, capacity and made decisions related to “in-house” or “out-source” design, hardware manufacturing and software development services. Developed a “real time” program status tracking system for confirming implementation of customer requirements, marketing commitments, design, engineering, manufacturing, customer acceptance testing, system installation and customer training.

SUN MICROSYSTEMS, November 1997 to December 2000, Newark, CA
Project / Team Leader
Developed a multi-discipline, process design and implementation team that transferred Sun's computer and mainframe manufacturing plant from Milpitas, California to their new Newark campus. This transfer included the redesign and implementation of Sun's complete manufacturing process from random assembly clusters to self-directed assembly cells from pre-kitting through assembly, test and pack-out. The two-phase project was completed within budget, on time and without production interruptions. It resulted in a 25% production efficiency improvement.
Initiated and implemented Sun Team manufacturing initiatives to improve quality, yields and throughput. Implemented a capacity-planning program to validate corporate global supply management plans and global capacity distribution. Developed the five-year global manufacturing capacity vision including NPI initiatives and developed detailed infrastructure upgrade requirements, at six-month intervals, to support assembly and test processes of new products.
Led the introduction (NPI) of Sun's new High End Server and Mass Storage product lines and developed Manufacturing Lead-Time reduction and Solutions Integration initiatives.
