Manager, Tube Mill

Apr 2016 - Jan 2018
Responsible for all tube and coil production for SPX Cooling Technologies. Manage all operations for plant 1004 in Tulsa, OK from logistics to production. We manufacture both Evaporative Condenser coils and MHF/Fluid Cooler coils by milling 1" tube on-site, serpentine bending, and assembling. We mill both .049" and .060" wall tube for these processes, making single tubes that range from 70' to 260' long before serpentine bending.This new process for SPX is garnering attention for meeting production goals and constantly improving processes to meet customers needs more effectively. This small team has support from both SPX Cooling in Olathe, KS and Overland Park, KS, as well as SPX Heat Transfer in Tulsa with whom we share a facility. The success here is truly 'team driven' with demonstrated dedication to success from every level.

Manager, Logistics and Tube Production
-
Nov 2015 - Apr 2016
Current focus is on maintaining a strong Logistics and Warehouse group while being actively engaged in the production of tubes and the assembly of MHF and Condenser coils.Tube and Coil production is new for Heat Transfer. We need considerable improvement in the process, and we need the improvement quickly. We will continue to focus of the '5 Things' - Production, Quality, Safety, Cost, and Labor - in order to drive improvements and reduce manufacturing time. We need to build a strong team, and we have an excellent foundation of employees to start with. I am excited about the possibilities of what tube and coil production could bring to the Heat Transfer unit.The Logistics and Warehouse group has had an amazing three-year run on inventory accuracy, and Annual Physical Inventory adjustments have been minimal. We will continue to drive and improve the cycle counting process for continued success. 5S remains a goal of increased performance for both groups. The Logistics group has a history of fantastic 5S scores, but the Tube and Coil Production group is building from scratch - but with high expectations.
