Summary of Qualifications

Dedicated leader with comprehensive management experience and demonstrated the ability t o provide training,

managing, and encouraging team members to achieve objectives of the company while maintaining low employee

turnover. Has proven progressive track record of saving the company substantial amount of money by reducing

overtime, set up high efficient training programs, reducing supply cost, increasing machine speeds and efficiencies.

Some of the projects included: lean manufacturing, 6 Sigma and Kaizen events in reducing trims, down time, and

waste on both the Extrusion lines and on the Slitter Rewinder, reducing trims on all the machines lead to a savings

of 5 million dollars. A 6 Sigma project on waste with 3M supplier resulted in reduction of on and off wastes on the

Slitter Rewinder machines that produced another million dollars in savings. In addition, I also worked on a Kaizen

project involving down time on machines that included cycle times of on and off loading raw materials. It helped

reduce the change over time by about 10 minutes per roll change s of materials; this opened up 75 more days of

machine capacities yearly. I have over 20 years of pulp and paper converting experience with 7 years of proven

progressive leadership in production management.
