founder and owner of David Wayne and Associates LLC, and teaches at the master’s level at Temple University’s
Fox School of Business Management. David holds master’s degrees in management science and industrial
management, an undergraduate degree in mathematics and history, and extensive experience designing and
implementing process management approaches in industrial and business settings for manufacturing and non-
manufacturing processes. He has worked with major companies in electronics, technology, telecommunications,
aviation, aerospace and defense industries since 1982 including Texas Instruments, Northrop Grumman, Boeing,
and Motorola, where he has designed, informed and orchestrated business and process improvement efforts,
including the development of hundreds of quality green belts, black belts and master quality black belts. He co-
developed and championed an integrated process management and improvement methodology which played a
major role in the turnaround of Northrop-Grumman’s Commercial Aircraft Division. This resulted in Northrop-
Grumman’s transformation from lowest level supplier to Boeing in 1989 to winning Boeing’s Supplier of the Year
award in 1994. David’s military service included significant involvement in the design, development, and
improvement of the M-1 Abrams, which ultimately became the US Army’s primary battle tank. Additionally, while at
Northrop-Grumman, he led a team of engineers in solving key production issues with the C-17 transport just prior to
the 1991 Gulf War. David is a member of the adjunct faculty at Temple University’s Fox School of Business,
