Achievements

Yates Services

Yates Services is a service contractor for Nissan of Canton Ms. I lead a team of 18 technicians for every day AGV operation, and repair for 3 working shifts. I ensured the technical, safety, Human Resource, and OSHA training for all techs, per Yates Services information and standards. Yates uses the ISO 14001Environmental and 5S standards.

I have maintained my mechanical skill set by training technicians to improve their skills and to encourage better team work. I have assisted technicians in troubleshooting to resolve maintenance / mechanical issues to complete the task.

In five months I helped my team reduce the AGV downtime to improve supply handling and manufacturing flow. In eight months I was promoted to lead Supervisor.

From the time I was hired at Yates Services, Yates encouraged cost savings ideas. My first year resulted in a savings for these companies (Yates and Nissan) of $36,000.00. The second year resulted in a savings of $24000.00.
