• Collaborated cross-functionally with Production, Quality, Procurement, Customs, and R&D to uphold product standards following changes or updates.
• Served as the primary on-site contact for engineering changes (ECN/ICN), BOM updates/corrections (using Windchill and SAP), and POD project management for Load Centers and Meter Socket Load Centers lines.
• Led the product implementation project for Meter Socket Load Center and Load Center lines, successfully launching over 80 products from manufacturing through final assembly.
• Managed local master data maintenance in SAP Torque for all existing Meter Socket Load Centers and selected Load Centers products, ensuring data accuracy and consistency.
• Coordinated cross-functional teams for the successful implementation of new products, overseeing tooling readiness, fabricated parts, and final assembly integration.
• Served as the main contact for R&D, Product Management, and Project Management teams during the launch of new ELSB products (Meter Socket and selected Load Centers).

• Reviewed new products with Design team to develop work cells and final lines under continuous improvement standards.
• Designed and installed integrated semi-automated work cells, enabling data collection for process traceability and identifying improvement opportunities.
• Led the "360 Guards" safety project for new assembly line equipment, ensuring compliance with federal safety regulations.
• Oversaw the installation of conveyors, overhead cranes, and semi-automated material handling systems to increase production efficiency for MTO products (ReliaGear neXT power panels).
• Trained assembly personnel on tool usage and production process flow.
• Coordinated procurement, tracking, and installation of assembly line infrastructure, ensuring project milestones were met on time and within scope.
• Led and supported product transfer and NPI projects, including:

a) Full line transfer of ReliaGear neXT power panels & Switchboards Bustacks (Saltillo to Monterrey)
b) Transfer of 400/600 Amps production line (Saltillo to Monterrey)
c) Introduction of Modular Metering product in Saltillo plant, from installation to production processes

• Implemented a “Plan for Every Part” (PFEP) strategy to reduce line stoppages and optimize productive time across assembly operations.
• Documented work instructions and safety procedures (LOTO, safe operation inspections, ABRAS).
• Collaborated with the Quality team to implement traceability in a final assembly line, enabling product data collection at each stage for use in continuous improvement initiatives.

• Led and supported the remodeling of production lines, warehouse layouts, and infrastructure upgrades to meet certification requirements and improve overall operational efficiency.
• Contributed to the strategic selection and customization of continuous improvement tools and methodologies tailored to project-specific challenges, ensuring successful implementation and measurable results.
• Assisted in the implementation of ISO 9001 standards within the assembly manufacturing process, including the development of work instructions and visual management systems to support compliance and quality control.
• Created and maintained detailed documentation of process workflows, promoting standardization and cross-departmental alignment across production teams.
