Endevco Announces the Appointment of Scott Silcock to President
Endevco Corporation, the leader in sensing solutions for demanding vibration, shock and pressure applications, has announced the promotion of Scott Silcock to the position of President.
Silcock joined Endevco in mid-2005 as Vice President of Operations. He later assumed responsibility for the company's Sunnyvale MEMS facility in April 2006. While at Endevco, he has played an integral role in a wide range of important initiatives including implementation of Six Sigma and Lean Quality systems; outsourcing of non-core support activities; redefinition of plant operations to include focus factories; establishment of an engineering intern program; ongoing facilities updates at the San Juan Capistrano headquarters; expansion of customer-based contracts; and expansion of product transfers to China.
He began his career in 1984 as a production operations supervisor at Rockwell Semiconductor Systems and served with the company through its spinoff as Conexant Systems in January 1999. During that time, he advanced to the position of Executive Director of Supply Chain Management and Fabrication and was selected to become Vice President of Operations for the Conexant Systems spin-off, Jazz Semiconductor. There he supervised a staff of 700 and was responsible for separating the Jazz Semiconductor manufacturing operation from its parent company. While at Jazz Semiconductor, he achieved significant reductions in costs, inventory and cycle times as well as significant increases in productivity.
Silcocks experience encompasses all facets of operations management with P&L responsibility including just-in-time and consigned inventory programs, Six Sigma and Lean Quality systems, computer-integrated manufacturing, contract administration, ISO certification, statistical process control, factory capacity planning and modeling, capital investment analysis and justification, and total quality management. He has consistently developed and managed programs that have generated strong results in productivity and return on investment.
"It is very exciting and challenging to have the opportunity to lead a first-class industry leader like Endevco. My goals are to have a positive impact on the company's competitive position, resource needs and return to shareholders," Silcock stated. "I believe in sound fiscal planning while challenging employees to achieve stretch strategic goals. With a hands-on style, I strive to manage the process of success while monitoring expected results."
"Scott is a seasoned management professional with over two decades of proven experience in the high-technology arena,
" observed Meggitt Electronics President David Savage. "He possesses outstanding skills in leadership, communication and organization along with being a results-oriented, motivated self-starter with a consistent record of exceeding standards and expectations. We look forward to his continuing contributions to the long-term success of Endevco."
