John Glenning worked at IBM from 1981 to 1990 where he impressed his manager with his enthusiasm, drive, and willingness to take on new challenges. For a key project developing a flexible circuit manufacturing line, Glenning was tasked with developing a new Kapton etch process that did not previously exist. He worked closely with IBM Research and Development to establish a laboratory process then procured, installed, and debugged the production tools needed to bring the environmentally sensitive process online on time and on budget. His manager was very impressed with Glenning's project management skills and work leading to several patents.Buckbee-Mears Notable Action by John Glenning.PDF

John Glenning was solicited by a former BMC employee to provide information about the company's etching business. This person used the name of John Gburek without permission in an attempt to get information from Glenning. However, Glenning had the foresight to contact Gburek before answering any questions, thereby preventing the potential loss of BMC's competitive data. The memorandum recommends noting Glenning's conscientious action.Corning Letter of Recommendation John Rathmell.PDF

Corning Letter of Recommendation Gordon Jonas.PDFJohn Glenning
油
John Glenning worked as a contract employee for Corning for several months, completing various projects involving complex data analysis and production problem solving. His analysis reports provided valuable insight and were completed on time and within goals through complex statistical analysis. Later, his work in a factory involved ongoing data collection and analysis of production. He is described as a dedicated engineer with a strong work ethic and discipline, and only left Corning due to a downturn in their business.SCALE-UP OF MICROCHANNEL REACTORS FOR FISCHER-TROPSCH
SCALE-UP OF MICROCHANNEL REACTORS FOR FISCHER-TROPSCHJohn Glenning
油
The scale-up of microchannel reactors for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis has been demonstrated through multiple scales with equivalent performance. Small single channel reactors and larger reactors with 276 parallel channels showed consistent CO conversion rates of 70-75% and methane selectivity of 8-9% when tested with the same catalyst under identical conditions. This confirms that microchannel reactor performance is unaffected by increasing channel length or number of channels, enabling scale-up while maintaining nearly isothermal conditions ideal for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.Jim Betar Letter of Recommendation

油
The document discusses approaches to implementing lean manufacturing through warehouse execution systems. It notes traditional approaches often fail due to lack of management support, training, and buy-in. Root causes for lean gaps include reactionary decisions, uncertain workforces, shifting supply chains, and lack of clear direction. It advocates implementing performance management to monitor goals and identify problems. Real-time information systems can improve operations, customer demand, supply chain, workforce, and logistics management. The document concludes the focus should be cascading goals throughout the organization and continuously monitoring and recalibrating performance.John Glenning's Process Deveiopment and Manufacturing Strategy December 2008

Safety is a top priority, with the goal of eliminating at least one safety issue per week. Process improvements should focus on reducing defects rather than solely improving yields. All defects on a product should be counted to determine the top defect categories to address. Process optimization efforts should start small and use design of experiments and statistical analysis to identify key variables for improvement. Attainment is reached when further improvements do not provide sufficient economic benefits.Yield and Productivity Improvements

How To Read PeopleJohn Glenning
油
This document provides guidance on how to read people by establishing baselines, recognizing patterns of behavior, and remaining objective. It discusses several key points:
1. The importance of understanding yourself before trying to understand others and overcoming your own biases.
2. People reveal more of themselves to those closer to them, like an onion with multiple layers, and you must get them to reveal more layers to read them fully.
3. Body language, environment, and behavior across different contexts provide clues, but consistency of patterns over time is most revealing; no single trait tells the full story.
4. The first impression provides important details, but should not be the sole basis for judgment until more context is establishedHutchinson Technology eliminating 500 jobs
Hutchinson Technology eliminating 500 jobsJohn Glenning

Hutchinson Technology, a maker of disk drive components, is eliminating 500 jobs due to increasing competition and overcapacity. Most of the jobs cuts are at four manufacturing facilities, including 225 jobs in Hutchinson, Minnesota and 25 jobs in Plymouth, Minnesota. The layoffs are expected to save $35 million annually. Hutchinson is facing challenges from Asian competitors and has been losing market share, which has hurt its financial performance. The job cuts are aimed at reducing costs to improve competitiveness and profitability.Equipment Operations for Production and Development

The document outlines John Glenning's recommendations for operations to ensure equipment is properly maintained for production and development. It emphasizes the importance of always being ready to do maintenance through activities like ensuring equipment is operational and spare parts are available. It also recommends developing critical spare parts lists, tracking component failures and their causes, monitoring downtime metrics, and establishing a robust maintenance program to keep equipment running optimally. The overall goal is to minimize unplanned downtime through preventative maintenance practices.Photo-Lithography and Wet Processing (Develop, Etch and Strip)

Photolithography is the process of transferring geometric patterns from a photomask to a photoresist layer on a substrate. Light is used to transfer the pattern from the mask to the photoresist. The process takes place in a cleanroom to prevent particulate contamination, which can cause voids. After exposure, an etching or deposition step is used to transfer the pattern to the substrate. Precise alignment is needed when patterning both sides of devices.Photo lithography

This document discusses the critical need to develop technologies to remove aqueous mercury from water sources. Mercury contamination is a growing problem that impacts human health and development. The largest sources of mercury pollution are coal-fired power plants, which emit mercury into the air and water through wet scrubbers. Existing wastewater from power plants contains high levels of mercury that accumulate over time and can re-enter the environment. There is an urgent need for cost-effective technologies that can reduce mercury levels in wastewater to parts-per-trillion concentrations in order to protect public health and comply with future water quality standards.3M Abrasives ASD Catalogue 2011
