James David Lambert's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. • Managed the Asset Utilization lab while at Bayer/Lanxess Corp. serving as the plant chemist for all toll/custom products. Developed new process for synthesis of Guerbet alcohol esters achieving over 40% increase in product yield. Fielded multiple production processes for alkylations, condensations and commercial fractional distillations. ISO 9001 Coordinator.
  2. • Supervised the textile applications lab at Lanxess Corporation performing customer service, applications research and product development. Expedited planning of work by frequent use of Experimental Design software and strategies.
  3. • Developed a novel silicone fluid emulsion while at Wacker Silicones for use as a durable fabric softener for global applications. Reduced auxiliary product obsolete and/or redundant product line by 20% while minimizing slow moving, obsolete raw material/product inventory
  4. • Provided increased emulsion stability for elastomeric amino-silicone emulsions to increase stability in storage in support of global auxiliaries market for hydrophilic softener products.
  5. • Successfully developed processes for two Poly-ethoxy diol esters product line at Santolubes, Mfg. Product group for use as base fluids for emulsified traction fluids, shear stable lubricants.
  6. • Reorganized and managed a production staff of 8 for a high volume spray drying department for commercial herbicides. Reduced inventory of waste/off-quality material by 70% while meeting or exceeding production demands.
  7. • Successfully developed process for synthesis of Poly-phenyl ether product family at Santolubes, Mfg. maximizing yields. Product family for use in extreme service lubricants, vacuum fluids and aerospace applications.
  8. • Designed and created set-up plans for new laboratory for elemental analysis, as well as, consolidated chemical analysis procedures for Quality director for ISO and NADCAP under contract for Remelt Sources, Inc. Recommend process improvements for melt deck using two AIM 5MT furnaces, as well as, revising sampling procedures for furnace time reduction.
