Southwin Ltd

Floor Lead, Machine operator, Maintenance 630 106th Street Arlington, TX 76011 August 2015-

February 2017

Just like Mizkan America’s this was another bottling production industry I work for. The main product

we produced, was a gallon size bottle of windshield washing fluid or RV antifreeze, a concentrated

liquid of car wash filled in a F style gallon bottle and Windex windshield fluid also filled a slimmer

version of a gallon bottle. Through the year-and-a-half I work there, I was cross train through all key

areas of the plant, the first area that was introduced to me was called the De-bagging: conveyor belt

table which required you to retrieve one stack of bottles that are inside a tight sealed square shape bag

from a line that’s form right beside the table of multiple layers of bags that are stacked on top of each

other for you to place it on the conveyor belt table and cut the bag open to pull the plastic out so the

bottles can be release to advance forward to the production line and you repeat this process until the

line is completely full. The next opportunity I achieve was to become a Drop Packer Operator: this

particular area consists operating and observing five automatic machines simultaneously, there are 2

box erectors machines because in case if one fails we have a backup or the customer chooses which box

it wants, the knock down or short for KD erector assembles your conventional square box and the other

assimilates a meta box which is just a box with no corners, after the box is made it is dropped on a

conveyor belt that advances to the drop packer plate then the machine gives a signal for the box to lift

up to the drop packer head then releases bottles into the box, descends back down, advances forward

on to another conveyor belt and goes inside the case sealer machine that adds glue to all 4 flaps of the

box to be sealed down, travels to another conveyor belt that goes up to the pelletizer machine that

creates five layers of 7 boxes onto a pallet. All areas acquired troubleshooting, house keeping,

changeovers, adjustments, QC inspection, and maintenance. After my success on the drop packer area,

I moved on to Material Handling: that required you to obtain all raw materials with the forklift, such as

retrieving bottles from a trailer for the de-bagger table, retrieving finish pallets of goods and staging

them on the ales of the production floor, retrieving empty pallets and putting them inside the pallet

ejector machine, operate the shrink wrap machines, retrieve boxes for the erector machines, and write

down each pallet count for each order we finish. Next, I got the opportunity to become aa. Label

Operator: which I was familiar with in the past. Just like to drop packer area, this area included four

machines I operated and observed, the labeler automatically added labels to each bottle that pass

through the labeler, goes to the filler machine that injects fluid to each gallon bottle, travels to the

Capper machine, and finally enters a heat sealer, to seal up the cap on to the bottle. I perform

troubleshooting, adjustments, changeovers, QC inspection, downtime report, production report,

housekeeping, maintenance, etc. The last area I trained in was in batching. It consists of four 5000 gallon

tanks, the job required you to make windshield washing fluid, antifreeze, Car Wash fluid etc. By using

multiple ingredients at your disposal by reading step by step from the flies of the ingredients for the

orders you where making. Before each batch was released into the pipes to the filler tank the batch must

be sign off from plant manager with the proper paperwork. With my talents recognized I eventually

moved up Floor Lead to ensure all operations of the plant succeeded beyond expectations, I’ve trained

multiple personnel with success, and also still continue to find new ways to improve my skills in all

aspects of life and work.

Ricos Products Co.

P.O.M. Packaging, Machine, Operator, Maintenance, Sanitation, Quality control / 3011 Pinewood Dr,

Arlington, TX 76010 / May 2016 - September 2017

Ricos product is a production facility that makes corn chips and popcorn with various different seasonings. I

first worked in the QC Department as a QC Tech: with the help of two other techs, I retrieved samples from

the process area. I would collect products such as; uncooked chips from a roller press cutter machine, baked

chips from a 600 degree oven, cooked chips from the 350-degree fryer, also collected the oil from the fryer it

self. All samples we’re taking back to the QC laboratory where I perform numerous tests every 30 minutes to

an hour to ensure every product was within spec if not operators were notified immediately to stop

production, process product was thrown away in a inedible container and package product was placed on

hold eventually all product was taken to a waste compactor, production did not continue until New Batch of

product passed all testing. Packaging test included taking samples of bags of chip from each PMO line

therefore were brought into the laboratory where my checks included: no leaks from the seals, making sure

the Julian date is correct, weighting the grams of the bag, check the nitrogen levels inside the bag, check salt

or seasoning of the chips, registration marks, check for plates each corner of the bag, and make sure that

operators are running the correct film. All test information was logged and entered into the computer system

at the end of the shift. After my superiors looked at my work history I wasn’t long until I became a PMO

Operator: In this role I performed numerous tasks by Startup and close down of their machine as necessary

Routine checks and preventative maintenance of equipment, Efficient completion of final assembly and then

packaging processes (such as applying fastenings or ties) if required, Product labeling and inspection of final

product, Completion of distribution documentation may also be a responsibility of packaging operators, May

be required to move completed boxes of products – operation of a forklift would not be an uncommon

preferred skill for these roles, Maintaining cleanliness of equipment and work area, Reporting issues when

they arise – this should be done quickly to minimize any impact on the efficiency of production, Quality

checks of their equipment, process or product in accordance with the site’s quality requirements,

Maintaining all relevant documentation for their equipment and/or process. This documentation is likely to

include quality documentation, ensuring adherence to internal procedures as well as external regulations.

After the weekly production schedule was complete we perform Sanitation to all process lines, bagger

machines, conveyor lines, tables, and etc. The process took 12 to 16 hours complete within two shifts.

Southwin Ltd.

Floor supervisor, Master operator, Trainer, Maintenance 630 106th Street Arlington, TX 76011

November 2017- February 2019

Icon Machine Co

Porter, Deburr, Saw operator, Lathe and Mill Operator, Forklift driver, Maintenance 2240

Hinton Dr, Irving, TX 75061 March 2019- March 2020

Icon is a precision CNC machining that provides services for the aerospace, defense, energy and medical industries.

Works with aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, titanium, magnesium and plastics. Capabilities include 3, 4

and 5-axis milling, turning, honing, forging, casting and band sawing. Prototype and low to high volume

production runs available. With no machining background I agree to start as a Porter: the tasks consist of

maintaining CNC machines by removing full chip barrels the machine auger produces when cutting material, and

putting the barrel on a pallet in a designated area then replace the barrel with a empty one at the same spot, would

add coolant to the machine when the tank was low, use the Refractometer meter to see the concentration of the

coolant, and if needed adjust to coolant knob on the concentrated barrel coolant to get the precise reading on the

reflectometer. Every week I will replenish spindle and hydraulic fluids on the machines if needed, and if I ran out of

stuff to do I would remove garbage cans and mop floors in the facility to maintain the professional look in the shop.

In the deburr department: I executed the removal of burrs from finished machined parts by using hand, and power

tools such as; swivel deep burn knife, scrapers, diamond files, exacto knives, rotary files, battery power Dremel, belt

sanders, grinding wheel, power drill, and Tumblr. Once parts all completed we were taken to the parts wash station

where everything was thoroughly cleaned then brought to QC for inspection and packaging. Saw operator: I was

given a saw tag from QC, the tag was essential to the operation the tag label different categories such as the

thickness of the material, type, grade, po number, job number, the quantity, and most importantly the dimensions.

First task was to go to the staging area and identify the material that matches on the tag, all staging material was

written with the marker labeling the po, job, and heat number, also material did have certs which were documents

that possess the same information in further detail. Once material is verified you can then move material to the

rolling conveyor by manually, forklift, or remote control overhead magnet crane. On the auto saw you can program

the desired measurements and quantity you need for the job on the control panel and run it on continuous mode,

the manual saw you measure the material moving it forward measuring it by using a tape measure or ruler once

you get the proper dimensions you tighten down device and commence with sawing, there's also a vertical saw that

is mainly use to cut thin material, it is noted when the very first cut is finished, stop production and bring first piece

of inspection to QC to verify dimensions are correct once verified you continue the job until you complete your

quantity order then you place all pieces into a box or pallet and stage it on the shelves for CNC operators can

retrieve. CNC lathe and Mill operator: whether it was turning or milling, it was my responsibility to understand

specifications of the task at hand and the desired result by reading blueprints, properly load raw materials by using

clamp, vice, or fixture, run cycle start to get first piece inspection, check the tolerances on the part using the

blueprint to make sure it’s within spec, get first part verified by QC techs to continue production, run production

efficiently and check tolerances every 5 to 10 parts to ensure specs are consistent, if part is not in tolerance but the

appearance is not affected, then that’s an indication that tool wear has occurred, go to your control panel, select

offsets and adjust the tool that has the wear, hit cycle start run one part check it if tolerances are in spec continue

production, if the appearance of the part has been altered then tool breakage has occurred stop production

immediately, by using MDI select the number tool that is broken, call it out, unclamp it from the tool holder, and

bring it to the tool area so you can replace broken tool, bring it back to the machine, touch off tool by using a probe,

Gage block, paper, shims, etc, select offset on the panel scroll down to a tool number highlight the tool length

geometry zero it out and hit select measure offset, note that old coordinates in new coordinates should be similar if

so hit cycle start but run the rapid at about 25%, visually watch the tool go through the sequence and keep your eye

on the monitor as the tool descends, but also keep your hand on the pause button for precaution, if the z distance

matches the tool away from the part then continue the cycle, once finished visually inspect the part, check

tolerances, and give it to QC for acceptance, if everything checks off continue production until job is completed then

fill out the paperwork on The traveler give it to QC, start another job and repeat the process.

Americold logistics

(LTO) Lift Truck Operator: forklift, RC forklift, Reach truck, Pallet jack, Scissor lift, Forklift

carton clamp and Cherry picker, Trainer, Lead Foreman 5140 Catron Dr, Dallas, TX 75227

April 2020-May2022

Americold specializes in temperature-controlled infrastructure – the storage and transport of refrigerated and

frozen food and beverages. Aside from direct-to-consumer services, we offer you warehousing, transportation,

supply chain optimization studies, and international logistics support. I started as a Checker: all checks and counts

all product for both inbound and outbound freight. Ensures that all product is free of damage and infestation.

Assures that customer orders are complete and correct. Check contents of assembled orders. Compare quantity,

quality, labeling and address with customer’s order to ensure shipments are complete and correct. Report all

shortages, damages, and miss-shipments on appropriate forms and forward them to office staff. As a Runner:

inbound process is retrieving the pallets that are on the dock and moving them to a staging area in the cooler or

freezer so they can be stored on the racks. Outbound process is where you communicate with the reach truck

drivers who retrieve the pallets on the racks and staged them in a line on the floor with a specific door number

written on them for you to move those pallets and stage them at that dock door number in lines of six or five pallets

with space between them so the loader can properly check each pallet for he or she’s load. It's very important not

to mix pallets with different door numbers, if other runners are assisting you make sure to communicate where

pallets go. Once you are finished running pallets, move on to the next door and repeat the process. Unloader:

unloading is important role of the facility, first step is to retrieve the paperwork from the dock desk and read what

door number you are going to unload. From there you go outside and walk to the door number and verify the

truck and trailer number that is on the paperwork, also you must check if the reefer has a correct temperature for

an example if this is a cooler truck the reefer would be set at 34 and freezer truck the reefer will be set on -10 note:

that the max temperature for cooler truck is 40 and freeze a truck is 0 Anything above those temperatures is an

automatic reject of the truck and you must notify supervisor immediately. so if the temperature is correct you move

on to verify the seal number that’s on the trailer door if the number matches the paperwork you can break the seal

and open the doors tell the driver to slide them tandems, back up the trailer, chalk the tires, take off airline and lock

it with the gladlock. If for some reason the seal number is wrong or there’s no seal present do not continue to lock

down trailer notify supervisor immediately. You also use this method if trailer or truck number is wrong on your

paperwork. If everything checks out go back in the facility open up the dock door, put the dock plate down, take

off load bars, and visually expect pallets for collapsed pallets, no or poor shrink wrapped, damaged pallets, foreign

material, rodents, etc. Also visualize trailer for any damage. If there is no issues you can proceed to unload truck

using a sit-down forklift or RC stand up forklift. All pallets must be spaced out of a line of six or five pallets. At this

time a checker should be checking your load if not it is up to you to check the load once you are done. If the pallet

tags description matches your paperwork then you can go to the ops desk and ask whoever is running the desk the

lead or supervisor to print out the labels to give to the receiver so load can be cross docked. If there's any issue with

the labeling or pallets can’t not be identified on the paperwork then load would be most likely reloaded and

rejected and driver would be giving a fee once reloading is finished. Loader: the loading process is similar to

unloading you follow the same procedures that are on your loading documents whether it’s verifying the truck and

trailer temperatures, identifying any damage inside the trailer or any infestation watch those checks are correct and

there’s no issues, your runner who retrieve the pallets you need for the load and stage them in single file lines on

the floor near the dock door you are loading. Of course you have to identify each pallet that is correct for your load

checking off the DC and po numbers are correct for each pallet note of course you also must have a habit of

checking the quantity of boxes that you need as well. Once everything is accounted for you have the task of

depicting how do you want to load an example is if you have 24 pallets on the floor then you can load them

straight in two pallets on the right side into pallets on the left side repeat that process until you’re done, if there’s 28

pallets on the floor best way to load it would be using the pinwheel method, meaning you have one pallet that’s

vertical in the other pallet is horizontal repeat that process until you’re at the end, now if you have a 30 pallets all

pallets must go in the truck sideways which is the most difficult way to load a truck. It is noted that loading is the

most difficult operation in the facility regardless of the pallet count you must be able to fully distribute the weight

evenly throughout the trailer the front of the trailers only allowed 12,000 lb the middle is where you distribute the

heaviest weight which is the max of 34,000 pounds and at the tail there’s only about 20,000 pounds and most

importantly you do not want to load an overweight truck to my knowledge a Max weight on a trailer is 40,000 to

42,000 but it's important to communicate with the truck driver because there will be events where a truck driver

will not want to accept a certain amount of weight on the truck this ever happens notify supervisor immediately.

Once you have an understanding of this concept you may proceed of loading it’s imperative to stack pallets all the

same size so there will not be any tippage. Once you are done you put the you put the load locks on the last pallets

fill out the rest of your paperwork give it to your lead or supervisor get your seal go outside notify the driver to

move up forward close the doors and seal it up. Repeat this process until operations is complete. Dropping or Put

Away: by operating a reach truck if you're putting away, as the runners deliver and drop the pallets off at the

staging area near the racks whether if it’s the freezer or cooler, when you pick up the pallet the first thing you do is

look for the DC number that’s on the tag and by using your DC location sheet you put the pallet away at its exactly

location, it’s preferably to start delivering pallets from top to bottom. Now if you’re dropping pallets you get a

drop sheet from the ops desk, you go to the cooler or freezer depending what the the sheet tells you want to go to

the racks of the DC location you're going to drop carefully reach and grab pallets one at a time and carefully place

them on the floor in a single file line so the runners can move them to the dock floor it's very important to

communicate to the runners what dock door pallets are being run to. It is noted that the reach trucks are the most

dangerous vehicles to operate so is imperative to take your time and carefully place pallets where they belong you

must honk your horns at all times depending on what corner you're turning into be precautious as possible.

Receiving: after the Checker that’s verified all the pallets on floor either the lead or supervisor will print out the

tags for that particular load, these tags have the PO and DC number and barcode, once you have the tags he must

go up to each pallet find the label that has the same PO and DC number that your tag does and place that tag on the

right side on top of the pallet, once you are done labeling all the pallets which are red prairie gun you scan each

label that has a barcode and go through a series of steps entering in the gun in order for you to process that

information in the red prairie system therefore receiving that pallet in the system you repeat this process until

every pallet is successfully scanned in the system. Lead Foreman: so after gaining all the skills I needed the

industry had to offer I got the opportunity of being a lead on night shift, with my prior experience I put all my

skills to the test to ensures safe and accurate receipt, storage, and shipment of food products utilizing equipment

including, but not limited to sit down and stand up forklifts, stand up straddle trucks, walk behinds, pallet jacks,

double pallet jacks and radio frequency equipment. Additionally, up to 25% of the job includes assisting the

Supervisor in coordinating workflow and recommending work assignments, training other associates, ensuring on-

time completion of assignments, and ensuring compliance with safety and work procedures. Essential Functions:

Up to 25% of the job is directing the work of others, reviewing schedule with supervisor at the beginning of the

shift, discussing daily plan and objectives, assisting in training other associates, and advising the supervisor of any

problems that occur during the shift. Load and unload freight using equipment in an efficient and safe manner.

Move product to storage areas with proper equipment. Efficiently stack and store the merchandise in the

appropriate area. Pick orders for shipment and assemble various types of merchandise to be shipped. Check or

count freight for accuracy and/or damage and infestation. Assist in maintaining the security of the warehouse.

Conduct operations in a manner, which promotes safety. Participate in physical inventories, as needed. Perform

labeling, sorting, wrapping, packing, and repacking. Operate equipment safely and efficiently. Equipment to

include (but not limited to) stand up forklift, stand up straddle truck, walk behinds, pallet jacks, double pallet jacks

and radio frequency equipment. Report all safety malfunctions on equipment. Comply with OSHA standards.
