About David Page Workman

Process improvement and Lean manufacturing change agent experienced in managing technical resources of innovation projects from ideation through commercialization. Manufacturing operations expertise involving simple and complex assemblies to determine cost drivers and path to reduction. Deliver impact by developing process optimization plans using statistical analysis. Develop and utilize project plans to set team priorities, deliver on project milestones, and develop contingency plans. Experienced in developing budget and work scope for process change, processing costs, facility strat up and capability developments.Develop prototypes ranging from mock-ups through functional and aesthetic models. Excel selling innovative concepts; provide research data demonstrating cost reduction and quality improvement through manufacturing process refinement. Provide team leadership and management in executing projects within organization and outside of organization forming collaborative teams. Technical management based upon strong process engineering capabilities to assess process for scalability for pilot manufacturing and mass production. Lead transfer of new technology, materials, capabilities, and processes from development to production. Write 700 to pages of text per year, including journal articles, proposals, reports and white papers.Involved in wire bonding and refinement of yields in large scale and micro-joining assembly processes in circuitry and circuit boards, battery assembly processes, and consumer goods assembly. Extensive experience in power and circuitry builds to minimize footprint and maximize efficiency.Developed new and innovative products, processes, and workflow procedures that include:* Head defect repair (Holland, L.L.C.); Resistance cladding (Butting); Computational device bodies (global electronics manufacturer); Welded small scale forgings to produce large scale parts (MacLean Fogg); Friction welding of powdered metal alloys (Pratt & Whitney, US Airforce, GE Aircraft Engines); Welded forward weighted hammers (Stanley Tool); 8-piece part reduction in tape measures using welding (Stanley Tool); Bi-metal roll cage for aluminum frame NASCAR bodies (General Motors); Carbide tooth attachment of tool steel saw blade (Lennox Saw Blades)
