Join industrial engineer III Anthony Ugoletti for a discussion on lessons learned as one of the frontline leaders responsible for transformation.
Overview
Newport News Shipbuilding's journey to implement new Navy cable assembly requirements began as a simple project for a young industrial engineer. However, as the project matured, many off-chute initiatives became apparent to improve and modernize this shop's manufacturing processes. In this presentation, Anthony Ugoletti will walk you through his "PRO-020" implementation journey from project inception to present day. He will discuss the trials, tribulations and collaboration he experienced within each project phase, including facilities selection, trades training, additive manufacturing, research and development and lean. Ugoletti will also break down how each facet of the overarching project and technology insertion played a vital role in the success of implementing PRO-020.
