Meggitt Polymers and Composites.
Meggitt Integration: On Site Manufacturing Lead for Integration
Worked with a select team of representatives from across the business to collect data and establish KPI's and other
tracking systems to improve our management of daily operations and set up a quality clinic to manage non-conformities to the new Meggitt standards.
Pyrometry Specification: Author and Manufacturing SME
As Author and Manufacturing SME, I worked with Operations, Maintenance and Quality to draft a Pyrometry Specification for the Stevenage site. This involved getting in touch with the International Standards agencies and our customer's
specification experts to define an all-encompassing specification that would satisfy all our customers requirements as well as allow the company to work toward official recognition by organisations such as NADCAP, in the future.
I also established calibration and testing with a sub-contractor to facilitate NADCAP certification. The final draft of the
specification was handed to Quality for implementation on my departure.
RTI Tool Cleaning: Project Lead
Investigated process changes and improvements on the grounds of Health and Safety, within the Stevenage Site.
This involved working with the H&S Team and Operations Team Leads to establish facts on current processes that pose a
risk to the Operators and surrounding personnel in the rest of the factory.
A temporary safe working method was established, alternative technology was investigated, test plans and testing were
carried out on potential solutions and costing was submitted to finance for approval.
Radome Repair: Manufacturing Support
Completing Survey Assessments and costings for customers wishing to have their products repaired by Meggitt. Working with Quality, NDT and Microwave Engineering, I was able to assess and compare repairs with the original build for
replacement parts, condition of supply, repair costing and replacement hardware costing, then upload a repair process and costing to the local MRP system.
