Regean Singh

I have fifteen year experience in Mechanical/Production Engineering, with vast exposure in the working environment to Mechanical and Industrial Systems Thinking

During these challenging learning achievements, I have proven competency in TPS (Toyota Production Systems) and WCM (World Class Manufacturing). Included in my experience is management of projects and Engineering Change Proposals. I am a valued team orientated engineer. My worth is measured in Value Added Engineering Practices in Quality and Process Engineering Control, namely Built-In Quality.

I enjoy and embrace the challenges of any Production Engineering Environment. 

Through my Positive attitude, I remain grounded to apply Good Engineering Principles and constantly measure my achievements using SMART Thinking. This Process Approach aligns Key Performance Areas to my department with the aim to strengthen and sustain set Organizational Objectives.

A concise overview of this is that I am a pioneering pragmatic, innovative self-starter who displays above average analytical, conceptual and reasoning skills.  These facets coupled with multi dimensional leadership skills, interpersonal skills and assertive problem solving, helps to fuel my motivation and determination to succeed through varied circumstances.
