Transforming manufacturing organizations into high-performance teams
30+ years leading global transformations across electronics, automotive/EV, semiconductor, and precision mechanical manufacturing. We transform distressed/under-performing operations into aligned, data‑driven, high performance teams by solving complex technical and personnel problems
The result: reliable products, lower cost, greater efficiency and improved yields, with faster ramps.
- ✔ Organizational turnaround, leadership coaching, and operating model redesign
- ✔ Yield, OEE, UPH, and cost optimization across mechanical, SMT, and FATP lines
- ✔ Supplier qualification, PPAP/IQC/MRB, audit & recovery programs
- ✔ DFM/DFA, tolerance stacks, dimensional control, and MSA/SPC rigor

Consulting Services
Engagements are scoped to outcomes. We combine on‑site audits with remote analytics and hands‑on implementation.
Operations & Organizational Transformation
- Realign underperforming teams; roles, metrics, cadence
- Financial/process controls (MRB, RTV, scrap aging, recovery)
- Turnaround programs with measurable yield/cost/delivery targets
- Leadership coaching; hiring plans and skills matrices
Advanced Manufacturing & Quality Systems
- Optimize injection molding, stamping, CNC, SMT/FATP
- ISO/IATF readiness: policy, audits, training & compliance
- MES/traceability/Industry 4.0: interlocks, OEE, MSA/SPC, real-time reporting
- DFM, tolerance analysis and Monte Carlo performance studies
- CTQ identification, PFMEA and Control Plan development
- Supplier development/training, PPAP validations, cost recovery
- Product, process and equipment qualifications and reliability test strategies
Design & Supplier Excellence
- DFM/DFA and tolerance stack analyses for ramp‑ready designs
- Supplier development: PPAP, IQC, scorecards, corrective actions
- Cross‑discipline root cause for materials, processes, assembly, test
- Qualification of equipment, fixtures, and automation (concept→MBO)
Industries
Our Approach
Diagnose
Rapid assessment of organization, flows, and data. Baseline OEE, FPY/DPUs, paretos, and cash impact (scrap/RTV/MRB).
Design
Target operating model, quality system, and technical plans: roles, reviews, controls, interlocks, and supplier programs.
Deploy
Hands‑on implementation, coaching, dashboards, and weekly operating cadence to lock in gains and prevent regression.
Selected Results
Stabilized distressed operation
Redesigned org and controls; double‑digit FPY/OEE gains within a quarter.
Supplier turnaround
PPAP discipline and recovery program; material defects reduced and delivery risk contained.
Ramp acceleration
DFM/DFA/tolerance work and MES interlocks; faster time‑to‑volume with fewer escapes.
About Arc Shift
30+ years building and transforming complex manufacturing organizations across Asia and the Americas — launching new operations, restructuring under-performing units, and integrating people, process, and technology.
My work spans mechanical and electronic manufacturing, with deep experience in ISO/IATF systems, MES and Industry 4.0 solutions, supplier development, and reliability. I combine executive-level operating cadence with hands-on problem solving in processes like injection molding, stamping, CNC, SMT, assembly, and test.
- Led global quality/operations programs across multi-site networks and industries
- Designed/implemented ISO/IATF-aligned systems with real-time OEE/SPC and interlocks
- Built supplier quality organizations (PPAP, IQC, MRB, recovery) across regions
- Extensive DFM/DFA/tolerance expertise for precision mechanical and electronic products
