Business Systems Analyst

•Write SQL queries for use in SQL Server Management Studio to extract and consolidate large amounts of data out of hundreds of tables containing millions of records to be compiled into reports for management and other channels of distribution

•Identify trends and outliers through examination of large data sets

•Use MS Word mail merges for mail containing policy and/or claim information to be distributed to policy holders

•Analyze database tables for common key information (SQL joins) to generate full reports

•Use iExpress in conjunction with a script distributed to external customers for purposes of simplifying their access to excel reporting tools by using iExpress to compile a large amount of files that were then automatically extracted into a folder system created by the script

•Use SQL Report Builder to build reports that link straight into SQL servers for weekly reporting to management

•Utilize PowerShell scripting to automate reporting processes by executing SQL queries and running excel macros

•Created a simple form interface with PowerShell enabling users to run a search against SQL servers by executing queries and passing results to the user form

•Developed a user form that opens a web browser and navigates to NOAA weather report for a date specified by the user within the form

•Create fillable PDFs allowing users to easily populate and send in PDF files with policy application or claim information to help speed up the data entry process by increasing efficiency

•Manage reporting processes and identify areas for continual improvement

•Revamped reporting processes, reducing time to generate reports by 85%

•Use a combination of SQL queries, Microsoft Excel with data connections, and Microsoft Server Report Builder 3.0 to generate daily and weekly reports per department and management interests

•Analyze data and identify trends and report on key performance indicators

•Process and review claims and applications

Business Systems Analyst

Achievements (Projects):

·Implemented and managed standardization of production documentation for gathering test and build specifications across the entire manufacturing process

·Designed and implemented a tracking system for tracking build and test time of products throughout every step of the manufacturing process resulting in:

o Optimizing balance of production operation processes to increase workflow efficiency through manufacturing and reduce total in-house cycle time

o Increased capacity for building sub-assemblies by >25% without increasing resources by implementing level-loaded work-cells, saving >$100K/qtr

·Developed and managed system for reporting and tracking non-conformities from first discovery to resolution while following quality system policies

·Represented manufacturing group in cross-functional teams for global ISO compliance initiative

·Created automation process of data collection to reduce operation cycle time by limiting a need for manual entry of system test results

Responsibilities:

·Admin for non-conformity and cycle time tracking systems

·Lead cross functional teams of manufacturing, engineering, warehouse, and quality assurance in requirement gathering for purposes of continual improvement of cycle time and non-conformity tracking systems

·Establish Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics for reporting purposes

·Daily, Weekly, and on-demand reporting of Manufacturing KPI to support Manufacturing, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality management

·Support process development, improvement and capacity planning analysis to meet Instrument Shipment, CoGS and Expense targets each quarter through constant monitoring of production KPI

·Subject Matter Expert for corporate initiatives such as Lean, ISO, and World Class Manufacturing

·Represent the interests of the Manufacturing team in the Quality System Implementation initiative

·Implement and support implementation of documentation practices, non-conformity and cycle time tracking at other manufacturing facilities to ensure standardization across entire manufacturing group by traveling to meet with production management and staff for training and requirement gathering

·Regularly meet with manufacturing staff to identify potential areas for improvement by increasing efficiency and/or refining operational procedures

·Support new product introduction to manufacturing by providing baseline cycle time estimates, configuring manufacturing tracking systems, and generating documentation

·Liaison between staff and management for effective communication of production needs and issues

·Develop, maintain and admin SharePoint intranet for project management, information sharing, etc. by implementing various tools. A few key features and responsibilities included:

o designing and managing site pages

o designing site hierarchy and topology

o development of a manufacturing WIKI & FAQ pages

o creating and organizing permission groups

o Harnessing the functionality of dozens of various web parts to keep information and communication flowing from the top down and from the bottom up.

o Document Management, including permissions, checkout, versioning and retention procedures

o Created Dashboards that interfaced directly with excel documents to display current information in the form of tables and charts right on the intranet dashboard pages

o Project Management through calendars and tasks

·Utilize workflow analysis tools to identify potential bottlenecks and help ensure production efficiency

·Set up a system to remotely connect to visual displays on the manufacturing floor which ran a slideshow displaying important information and various charts by sending monitor signal over Ethernet wires to TVs mounted on the walls
