RadioShack - Antennacraft Division

  • 2002 - May 2015

  I am active on the safety and ergonomics teams. I am responsible for the maintenance of the entire facility and all the production equipment. One of my larger projects involved the relocation of equipment from a facility in North Carolina. I traveled to the facility to evaluate the processes, equipment, space and power requirements. I developed a layout for the installation of equipment and performed all the training to get the processes in operation. In addition, I am constantly looking for ways to improve ergonomics, safety and efficiency. Show less
