SAGINAW, MI, March 12, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — Carl Tarum has been included in Marquis Who’s Who. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
A seasoned engineer, instructor, and businessman, Mr. Tarum leverages his considerable expertise in Weibull analysis software, lean manufacturing, and the automotive industry as the president of Bathtub Software, LLC, so named for the pattern of reliability known as the bathtub curve. Through the company, he provides software designed to predict a product’s lifespan, safety, survivability, and risk, as well as training and consulting services. Likewise, Mr. Tarum consults on DFMEA, Microsoft Excel macros, and Weibull analysis with SuperSMITH® software.
Before obtaining his role with Bathtub Software, Mr. Tarum worked as a senior safety engineer and senior statistical engineer at Nexteer Automotive, through which he specialized in safety analysis with a focus on compliance. During the early stages of his career, he gained valuable expertise in reliability analysis, product development, and more through various roles with Delphi Automotive Systems, General Motors, and John Deere. Throughout his career, Mr. Tarum has been awarded five patents, with two in production. One is regarding a device design that senses the steering wheel position on a vehicle, and another for estimating the position of the steering wheel by looking at ABS brake controller data.
An expert in his field, Mr. Tarum holds a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Montana State University, Bozeman, an MBA from the University of Michigan, Flint, a Six Sigma Black Belt and Design for Six Sigma Master Black Belt. To remain abreast of ongoing industry changes, he aligns himself with several organizations, including the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engineers.
While his career has been filled with standout moments, Mr. Tarum takes the most pride in developing models for Weibull mixtures. He also developed methods to estimate goodness of fit and techniques to estimate quantities of missing data. These are in the SuperSMITH® software. Though hard work and dedication have brought him far in his career, he would not be where he is today without his father, who instilled in him a strong sense of responsibility and mechanical aptitude. At 10 years old, he received a lawnmower engine from his father, which he had to learn how to disassemble, reassemble, and utilize. This formative experience inspired him to pursue a career in engineering. Looking ahead, Mr. Tarum aims to collaborate with developers to get his software to a web-based solution and add additional, innovative features.
