Pohlman is a member of PMPA, formerly "National Screw Machine Products Association" but they decided "Pimpa" sounded better.

Through Pohlman, I did a lot of Dilbert sounding activities:

• Wrote procedures for the new Quality Manual to qualify Pohlman as a supplier for TRW Vehicle Safety Systems
• Documented and worked on improving the Quoting Process.
• Documented and worked on improving the Document Control process to meet ISO-9000 and QS-9000
• Designed Factorial Experiments for improving yield in laser welding an airbag assembly.
• Planned Statistical Process Control for production of many automotive parts.
• Interpreted and used Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for gauge design and production of suspension parts for the Chrysler Prowler.
• Created a MS-Word macro to act like an in-house web-browser for our non-internet aware company.
• Attended 120 hours of off-site team training through TAI, which actually taught me a lot.
• Helped clean the mud out of the plant & offices after the Great Flood of 1993. 7.5 feet of water in the building left 6 inches of pudding-like mud all over my stuff & turned many of my books to mush.
• Re-programmed the phone system after the flood. Pohlman is one of the few firms to have a male voice leading you through the menus and voice mails.
