1. ANTHONY D. BRENNAN
809 Ranch Road • Boise, Idaho 83702 • (208) 608-5621 • tonybrennan@cableone.net
SUMMARY
A senior process and manufacturing engineer with extensive experience in analyzing and improving
processes and leading teams to higher levels of productivity and reduced costs. Demonstrated
effectiveness in a changing work environment, in cross functional teams and through successful
negotiations. Customer focused with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC., Boise, ID 1986-2008
Process Engineering Coordinator (2006-2008)
Responsible for coordinating the introduction of new processes from development into small pilot
production operations, then transferring those robust processes into large scale manufacturing facilities.
• Coordinated and communicated newly introduced process design requirements from the process
development teams to the pilot manufacturing organization.
• Influenced processing decision making with product development teams to align with tool
alignments and manufacturing objectives.
• Demonstrated the benefits of integrated measurement systems to both product development and
manufacturing organizations which were then implemented into processing platforms. Results
included cost savings through process stability, scrap rate reduction, increased productivity and
throughput.
• Using applied statistical analysis, evaluated developmental processes to improve capability prior
to the introduction into large scale manufacturing operations which ensured faster product ramps
and higher yields.
• Tapped by management to contribute project management and organizational skills to cross
functional efficiency teams to improve product cycle times, scrap rates, consumable costs, and
quality initiatives to meet area and corporate goals.
• Implemented analytical tool matching methodologies to increase product throughput among 30
tools sets which accelerated production ramp of new processes in the manufacturing area.
Engineering Supervisor (2000-2005)
Supervised an engineering staff of 40+ engineers, technicians, and operators in a R&D fabrication clean
room environment.
• Continually enhanced and improved developmental processes for large manufacturing
applications which were cost efficient and sustainable.
• Proactively worked on the performance, repair, maintenance, and modification of manufacturing
tools to ensure area and department productivity goals were met
• Analyzed and reviewed cost of tool ownership, repair techniques, and preventative maintenance
schedules to maximize uptime and reduce costs.
• Negotiated equipment vendor service and spare parts contracts to ensure optimal cost structure
while remaining cost competitive during fluctuating markets .
• Identified need and developed “library of baseline material” to be used to troubleshoot process or
equipment issues, resulting in less downtime and lower costs.
• Created the “Copy Smart Methodology” to accelerate technology transfers to large scale
manufacturing allowing for faster processing ramps with lower risk to product yields.
