Tata Nano small car, BA 609 Tiltrotor aircraft, factory batch processing equipment and product flow, trucking

hardware, oil filters, power brake boosters, and fuel pumps. Dave is a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Dave conducted

an analysis of the Stryker Mobile Gun System that identified improvement opportunities in cost and reliability. Dave

analyzed warranty data for a fuel pump manufacturer which highlighted manufacturing process problems. This led to

identification of the true root causes and to an overall reduction of warranty costs. Dave was one of the Munro team

that analyzed the Tata Nano design and identified several cost saving opportunities that helped Tata achieve its goal

of designing a $2500 car. Dave led a project for a trucking hardware firm and developed an innovative, patent-

pending solution to reduce weight and cost while improving reliability. As a Principal Systems Engineer at Raytheon

Dave championed Design for Six Sigma and worked on a variety of high profile programs such as Global Hawk,

Paveway Laser Guided Bomb, HARM (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile), Tank Thermal Sights, FLIR (Forward

Looking Infra-Red) Common Modules, and anti-ballistic missile defense. With a strong background in factory

automation and systems analysis, Dave was instrumental in Texas Instruments winning the CASA/SME LEAD

Award for Computer Integrated Manufacturing in 1987 and led a team of engineers and technicians that supported the

integrated factory systems. Dave was also part of the core team that deployed six sigma at Texas Instruments (TI).

This was cited as one of the key reasons for TI winning the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1992.

studying and servicing class eight diesel on highway engines produced by the Detroit Diesel Corporation. He is

familiar with the EPA 2004 - 2010 regulations including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems, diesel oxidizing

catalysts (DOC) diesel particulate filters (DPF), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems.

Prior to working at the Detroit Diesel Corporation, Chris spent two semesters as a co-op in TRW's hydraulic slip

control systems test lab validating the slip control boost (SCB) ABS valves which were installed in all current

production GM hybrid trucks and SUV's at the time. In the summer of 2006, Chris helped to reduce the production of

aluminum scrap from radiators and heater cores at Automotive Components Holdings LLC's Sheldon Road plant. His

solutions resulted in a 40% reduction of aluminum scrap.

While in college, Chris worked on multiple robotics projects, including, but not limited to the Defense Advanced

Research Project Agency (DARPA) Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) as well as the American Society

of Mechanical Engineers Student Design Competition. IGVC required students to design and build an autonomous

robot from the ground up, capable of carrying a 20 lb payload that could navigate an obstacle course as well as follow

GPS way points. Chris' team took 3rd place overall in the world in 2007. The 2008 ASME Student Design

Competition required students to design and build an autonomous robot which could clean a house hold double hung

sash window without touching the ground or surrounding walls. The robot had to be powered by a maximum of 24V

DC and the whole device could not exceed 1 kg in total mass. Utilizing CATIA's FEA capabilities and extensive

material research, Chris' team managed to produce a device in 6 weeks

SANDY MUNRO

Specialized Professional Competence Sandy Munro is a frequent speaker and advisor to some of the world's top executives on implementing

change and innovative development strategies. Called a visionary and master innovator by NASA,

Sandy Munro offers his clients a wealth of perspective and a penchant for technology transfer.

Although he began his career in the automotive and aircraft industry he has worked extensively with

global corporations of all types along with their suppliers. Sandy’s experience and insight cuts across

virtually every segment of the manufacturing industry, from Barbie to the Space Station, which gives

him a unique advantage in the area of technology transfer.

One of the pioneers in the application of design for assembly (DFA) Sandy founded his consulting

firm, Munro & Associates, Inc., in 1988 and developed an enhanced process calling it design for

manufacturability or DFM®. These principles were developed to help North American manufacturers

harness the power of concurrent engineering to reach new levels of global competitiveness.

Sandy began his career as a toolmaker in Windsor Ontario, he worked his way up the ranks to designer

and eventually became Engineering Manager at Valiant Machine Tool Company, a world recognized

specialty Tool Company.

In 1978, Sandy joined Ford Motor Company and shifted roles from machine tool and automation

designer to manufacturing engineer. After several projects where he helped increase productivity on

engine assembly lines, he was promoted to Senior Automation Specialist, where he supervised

installations like the Essex Engine Plant and the development of new, more productive engine

manufacturing lines like the Lima Ohio Plant.

In 1982 Sandy met Dr E. Deming and everything in his carreer changed. Dr. Deming’s phrase of “As

variation is reduced Quality will increase” resonated with Sandy and he became a zealot in reducing

variation but in a different way; as Sandy says “all variation stems from design.”

The Deming spirit and philosophy is evident in all the Munro products and services.

After successfully implementing design for assembly principles at Ford, Sandy was named Corporate
